Conventional water softener/ water filter can be purchased at your specialised dealer. However,
please note that even when using a water softener/ water filter the machine needs to be descaled
regularly.
4.4 Drain connection
By default, also in machines with water connection the user can dispose of the excessive water by regularly emptying
the drip tray.
However, it is possible to belatedly install a direct connection to the drain system.
Important
In case you should go for a direct connection of the machine to the drain system, a hole has to be
drilled in the drip tray. This work can be carried out by expert specialised staff or by ECM
Manufacture service.
Connect a hose (Ø 10 mm) to the designated connector on the back side of the machine and to a preinstalled
siphoned drain.
5 FIRST
USE
5.1 First use
Read the instruction manual carefully before operating the machine.
Before starting the machine, check if:
•
the steam and hot water valves are closed.
•
the machine is switched off. (Power switch in lower position.)
•
the power cord is disconnected.
•
the drip tray is inserted accurately.
Now you can start up your machine:
1
Water tank machines: Open the cup warmer tray by flipping it open.
2
Water tank machines: Take out the water tank and rinse it thoroughly.
3
Water tank machines: Fill the water tank with fresh water deficient in lime and put it back into the water tank
guides and close the cup warmer tray again.
4
Insert the plug in the wall socket. Turn the power switch to “1”. The machine is on now.
5
The green control lamp lights up.
6
The pump begins to operate filling the boiler of the machine with fresh water.
7
As soon as the filling-up of the boiler is finished, no pump noise is hearable anymore; the orange control lamp is
on now. Water tank machines: As soon as the fresh water sinks down to a certain level in the fresh water tank,
the machine is switched off and the signal of the orange control lamp goes out. Now refill fresh water. The
machine heats up automatically.
8
Water tank machines:
As a large amount of water is required for the first filling of the boiler, refill the water tank
with fresh water.
9
Wait until the boiler pressure gauge indicates approx. 1.0-1.25 bar.
10
A manual “boiler ventilation” is not necessary because the TECHNIKA / TECHNIKA PROFI is equipped with a
professional depression valve that ventilates the boiler in the heat-up phase.
11
Move the group lever into the upper position and dispense approx. 250 ml of water. In this way, the heat
exchanger will be filled with water and the circulation of the water in the thermosyphon system begins.
12
Move the group lever into the lower position. Water tank machines:
Refill the water tank.
13
The machine is now ready for use. Put the cups on the cup heater tray in order to preheat them and enjoy your
coffee.
The TECHNIKA/ TECHNIKA PROFI has a fuse to prevent the machine from overfilling.
It is possible that the machine does not heat up when using it for the first time or when dispensing big
quantities of water over the hot water valve. In this case please switch the machine off and on.
6 USE OF THE MACHINE
6.1 Preparation of the machine
The switched off machine can be put into operation as follows:
1
Water tank machines: Fill water into the water tank.
