1. Hot water dispensing.
Hot water may be dispensed from the Hot
Water Wand on the left side side of the
machine. This is accomplished by rotating
the left knob (see Fig.5 page 14).
2. General notes for coffee preparation.
The portafilters must remain heated since
they are at the lowest position of the
group itself, and they are partially isolated
from the group due to the rubber gasket
between them. This can be accomplished
by leaving the portafilters installed in the
machine when not in use. The portafilter
may also be actively heated by rotating
group activation paddle to flush hot water
through the portafilter then turning off the
water flow.
3. Coffee grind.
The size of the coffee granules is extremely
important in preparing a good cup of
coffee, along with the type of coffee blend
used. The ideal grind can be determined by
making various coffees using the amount
of ground coffee that you would normally
use for each cup (we recommend at least
6g). The best grind is that which allows
coffee to flow out from the portafilter
spouts neither too slowly, drop by drop, nor
too quickly. A general rule is that a double
dose should dispense approximately 60ml/
2 fluid oz. of espresso in approximately 25
seconds. This time may be adjusted by
varying the coarseness of the grind.
N.B.
If the machine has not been used for more
than 8 hours or, in any case, after long
periods of being idle, in order to use the
machine to its full potential it is necessary
to perform some cleaning cycles before
brewing beverages as follows:
• Group: with the portafilter engaged in the
group brew water through it for at least
two minutes.
• Being careful to avoid burns, turn on the
steam wand for at least one minute.
• Turn on the hot water valve for the time
necessary to allow 1 liter of water to be
brewed.
• If using the machine with water reservoir,
change the water in the reservoir daily.
If the machine is not going to be used for
long periods of time, it is advisable to follow
these safety indications:
• Disconnect the machine from the water
mains or interrupt the water connection
via a mains tap.
• Disconnect the machine from the
electrical mains.
