Pressure Gauges
The top gauge is your boiler steam pressure. When the heating light turns off the boiler
is up to pressure and should be around 1.2 – 1.5 bar. If the steam boiler power switch is
turned off then the steam gauge will not show any pressure.
The lower gauge is your pump pressure. When the pump is not engaged the gauge will
show the line pressure from your water supply. When you raise the brew lever then the
pressure should go to 9 bar.
Pump
The pump pressure has been set prior to shipping, but may differ based on your line
pressure or if the machine is used in reservoir mode versus plumbed in. The
recommended setting is 9 bar. Should you need to adjust your pump pressure please
refer to the maintenance section of the owner‟s manual.
Periodically the pump will come on by itself to maintain the proper water level in the
steam boiler which is normal. When this happens the PID display will turn off to protect
the heating element during filling.
Switches
On the right side on the base of the machine is the power switch. The switch will be
illuminated when the machine is turned on.
Behind the drip tray there are 2 switches. The lever switch on the right is used to switch
between plumbed in or reservoir modes. The switch on the left can be used to turn the
audible alert off if you are using the machine in plumbed mode.
Drip Tray
The drip tray should be periodically cleaned with mild dish detergent. In the back of the
drip tray there is a cut out where a silicone tube can be found. The silicone tube comes
from the expansion valve. It is normal for a small amount of water and steam to exit the
tube into the drip tray when the machine is heating.
