removed, a water source has to be connected and the water level sensor
activated (cheated) with a magnet placed next to the location of the level sensor.
To connect the machine with source of water:
1- take the 24" long plastic or silicone tube.
2- disconnect the hose from the water inlet (from under side of the top cover).
3- connect the hoses 1 & 2. Make sure that the connection is air tight.
4- dip the loose end of the extension tube(1) in a clean water container. Make
sure that the tube stays immersed inside the water container all the time.
Replace the brew group. Close the door. Slide the waste box in. Plug the
machine in the electric outlet. Make sure there are no loose wires inside the
machine that were accidentally or otherwise disconnected and there is no
metal object touching the naked wires of the machine, before plugging the
machine into electric outlet. Turn the power switch on. No water sign will come
on.
To remove the no water sign, place the magnet next to the water level
sensor. The water level sensor is a white rectangular piece (1" x 1/2" x 1/4")
located between the water tank and the grinder. Move the magnet around the
sensor, on its left or the rear to find the location where the "no water" light turns
off and leave the magnet clinging at the spot to the metal body of the machine.
You will hear the machine reset as you turn the power switch of the machine on.
Next, prime the machine by opening the steam knob an purging about 2 to 3 oz.
of water. If water does not purge, then check the warning lights on the touch pad
if the machine will tell you why? (No water, no dump box, no brew group light
may be on. If these lights are not lit, then there may be other parts
malfunctioning. It could be the pump, the flow meter or the blocked hydraulic
system that will prevent water flowing through the machine. The machine should
not be left on when water is not pumping through the system. Turn the machine
off. Disconnect the wires to the heating element (tag the loose ends) and wrap
the naked ends with electricians tape. Now the machine can be turned on and
left on for longer duration while other parts are checked for malfunction.
When the pump operates, the water pressure will show the spot where leakage is
occurring. Protect the electronic board from sudden stream of water or
steam spilling on it. Once warmed up, test by making a fake espresso (pre-
ground cycle without adding coffee in the shoot) to see if any leakage of water or
steam can be spotted. Look for the hose connections, seams of heat exchanger,
steam valve, solenoid valves (when seen in the machine) & brass fittings.
Look for any other functional faults and unusual noise during the cycle. To find
leaks, two or more espresso cycles have to be worked.
Replace seals/ O-rings causing leakage. Replace faulty parts as necessary.
