We recommend using freshly roasted espresso beans ground medium to fine.
Fresh coffee will produce better tasting espresso. We also recommend bottled
water as tap water may cause a build-up of calcium over time.
1. SET UP OPERATION:
PRIMING YOUR MACHINE
: IMPORTANT!
This 30 second operation is necessary when first using your
la Pavoni
or when the
machine is not used for an extended period of time (up to 5 days) or if you allow
the water tank to run dry during operation. This priming procedure will eliminate
any air that may have formed in the pump. When used daily, it is not necessary to
perform this function before every use.
All 3 switches (# 4 ,9, 12) should be in the up (off) position. Place an empty cup
under the group (13). For this operation the filter handle (10) should be left off.
A. Remove the cover (2) and water tank (3) fill completely with water and replace
into machine.
B. Plug the unit into a conveniently located wall socket. The machine operates on
950 watts of power.
C. Turn on the power switch (4). The warning light incorporated in the switch will
illuminate.
D. Turn the steam knob (5) one revolution. Place the cappuccino nozzle into a
cup.
E. Press the coffee/ ready switch (9) down into the on position.Water will flow
from the steam spout (6). When water starts to exit immediately close the steam
knob (5). Water will now flow from the group. Let the water exit into a cup for
a few seconds, then close the coffee/ ready switch (9) stopping the flow of water.
Your machine is now primed!
2. COFFEE DELIVERY:
Your espresso machine is designed to make espresso using
ground coffee or pre-
packaged pods.
A. Check the water level in the tank (3), water should never drop below 1 cup
full (6 oz).
B. Power switch (4) should be in the
on
position. It will illuminate.
The coffee/ ready switch (9) and the steam switch (12) should be in the
off
position.Wait until the coffee/ ready light (9) illuminates, about 1 to 2 minutes.
While you are waiting for this "ready" light, you may prepare your coffee.
