Figure 30. Showing steam boiler drain valve on the left and coffee boiler drain valve on
the right. Plugs (or caps) have already been removed. Element cover is also removed
which is, however, not recommended for draining.
8.
Insert the fitting of the drain hose in the open end of the drain valve, dangle the
other end in the bucket.
9.
Open drain valve on steam/hot water boiler.
10.
When water flow stops, tilt the Speedster by lifting the right side to drain
remaining water from the steam/hot water boiler until flow stops.
11.
Close steam valve.
12.
Close drain valve and remove drain hose from the steam/hot water boiler.
13.
Put a little silicone grease on the plug and replace on drain valve, use only little
force to tighten (a spanner is not really necessary).
Coffee boiler
14.
Remove plug (or cap in older model) from the coffee boiler drain valve with a 17
mm spanner (see figure 30).
15.
Insert the fitting of the drain hose in the open end of the drain valve, dangle the
other end in the bucket.
16.
Open drain valve.
Hardly any water will flow from the coffee boiler since it is completely filled and no
air can flow into the boiler yet.
17.
Turn main switch “on”. (Since no water is present in the steam/hot water boiler
the heating elements will not be activated when the machine is turned on.)
18.
Make sure that the filter holder is removed from the group. Activate group valve
by positioning the brewing lever in the middle position. (This will open the group
valve thus letting air into the coffee boiler which will now start to drain.)
19.
When water flow stops, tilt the Speedster by lifting the right side to drain
remaining water from the coffee boiler until flow stops.
20.
De-activate group valve (brewing lever in upper position).
21.
Switch machine “off”, unplug the Speedster from the 230 VAC.
22.
Keep drain valve open and hose attached.
