CLEANING/MAINTENANCE
After a steam outflow, always drain the
machine, otherwise the coffee
brewing program automatically stops, due to
excessive temperature.
If the machine is on the steam mode,
the automatic coffee brewing is pre-
vented.
Press the steam selection button
and wait
until the green temperature warning light
turns on.
Direct the steam/hot water dispenser (5) over
the cup holder grill (3) and slightly open knob
(6), turning it counterclockwise.
Wait until the remaining water has flown out of
the spout.
Then move the spout outwards and immerse it
into the fluid to heat.
32
Slowly open the steam/hot water knob and
heat the fluid, using a circular movement from
bottom to top.
When the fluid has reached the desired tempera-
ture, close the knob and immediately clean the
spout with a damp cloth.
Warning:
the spout is hot, it may cause burns!
As soon as the steam/hot water dispensing is
finished, position the steam/hot water dispensing
tube over the cup holder grill and disactivate the
steam function by pressing the steam selection
button.
Then open the steam/hot water knob again and
drain the machine (the pump automatically starts)
until the water flows regularly from the dispensing
tube (see the chapter relevant to Drainage, page.
30) and the temperature warning light stops
blinking.
Close the steam/hot water knob.
The machine is ready to brew coffee again.
Cappuccino froth
Fill a cup 1/3 with cold fresh milk, then immerse
the steam/hot water dispensing tube (5) just
below the milk surface.
Move the cup with a circular movement to form a
thick froth. Then immerse the dispensing tube deep
into the milk to heat it.
Incorporated safety devices
Automatic off
Should the service door be open, the machine
automatically switches off and its operation is thus
prevented.
If the central unit is not mounted, only water and
steam can be dispensed.
Electronic grinding time control
As soon as the coffee bean container is empty, the
machine automatically stops after approx. 20
seconds.
Fill the container with coffee bean. The coffee
brewing cycle can be restarted.
Electronic pump control
The machine switches off automatically as soon as
the water tank is empty.
Automatic temperature adjustment
This adjustment controls the correct temperature
to brew coffee and to dispense hot water and
steam.
Coffee brewing is automatically interrupted should
the water temperature be too low or too high
(safety thermostat and overheating safety device
activated).
Antigravel device
Even selected coffees may contain some impuri-
ties.
The coffee grinder is fitted with an antigravel
device to avoid any damage.
Should gravel end up into the coffee grinder, you
will hear a strong and characteristic noise. Stop
the machine immediately, otherwise the protec-
tion system will stop the coffee grinder after
approx. 20 seconds.
Important:
Do not start the machine until the matter
has been removed, otherwise the motor may be
damaged.
Procedures: see page 36, points 38-42.
