• The boiler filling indicator light will illuminate and the pump will come on to start filling the
boiler. The boiler should fill in approximately 60 seconds. If the pump has not turned off
and finished filling after 60 seconds then turn the main power switch off and wait 5 minutes.
• After waiting five minutes then turn the main power switch on again. The pump should
come back on to continue filling the boiler. If the pump keeps running for more than 45-60
seconds again then unplug the machine and check to make sure that the water supply is
turned on.
• After the boiler has finished filling then place whichever portafilter you intend to use into the
group head. Then lift the brew lever to start the pump and keep the lever up until water
comes out of the portafilter and then lower the lever.
• The heating indicator light will illuminate and the machine will start heating up. You will
hear some gurgling noises and a small amount of steam and water will be discharged into
the drip tray. This is normal to allow for the release of air and the expanding of water in the
boiler and heat exchange.
• The machine should reach temperature in approximately 15 minutes, but to make delicious
espresso with thick rich crema it is necessary to allow the machine to be heated for 30-45
minutes with the portafilter kept in the grouphead.
Before Each Use
•
Verify the steam and hot water valves are both closed and your brew lever is pointing
straight down.
• Place whichever portafilter you intend to use into the group. Turn the power switch on.
Normal Operation
•
The top portion of the gauge is your boiler steam pressure. When the heating light turns off
the boiler is up to presssure and should be around 1.2 bar. Once up to pressure the
heating light will come on approximately once a minute to maintain the pressure in the
boiler. Should you need to adjust the steam pressure please refer to the maintenance
section of the owner’s manual.
• The lower portion of the gauge is your pump pressure. When the pump is not engaged the
gauge will show a reading which is the line pressure from your water supply and is normal.
When you raise the brew lever then the pressure should go to 9 bar. This will vary based
on your line pressure. Should your pressure be too low or too high please refer to the
maintenance section of the owner’s manual for instructions on setting the pump pressure.
• Periodically the pump and boiler fill light will come on to maintain the proper water level in
the boiler, this is normal operation and no reason for concern.
