12. SUGGESTIONS FOR OBTAINING GOOD COFFEE
•
To obtain a high-quality coffee, it is important that the hardness of the water used does not exceed 4-5 °f (French degrees).
If the water hardness exceeds this value, it is advisable to use a water softener;
•
in case of water harness values less than 4°f, it is not advisable to use a softener;
•
if the taste of chlorine in the water is particularly strong, a special filter should be installed;
•
after the machine has not been used for a period of time (2-3 hours), make a few dry runs;
•
keep the filter holder attached to the delivery group so that it is always ready at the ideal temperature;
•
it is essential that you carry out regular cleaning and maintenance of the machine.
11. CHECKS and MAINTENANCE
Maintenance must be carried out in order to ensure perfect safety and efficiency of the machine over time.
In particular, it is advisable to ask Technical Service to carry out an overall check of the machine at least once a year.
Periodically check the boiler pressure with a pressure gauge, which should indicate about 0.8-1.2 bar.
