Before Each Use

 Verify the steam and hot water valves are both closed and your brew lever is

pointing straight down.

 Fill the reservoir with cold softened water.

 Place whichever portafilter you intend to use into the group head and then turn the

power switch to the on “II” position.

 Let the machine warm up for 30-45 minutes for optimal performance.

Normal Operation

Gauges

 The top gauge is for your boiler steam pressure. After turning the machine on it will

take approximately 15 minutes before the gauge will show any pressure. Once up to

pressure the gauge will cycle back and forth roughly between 1-1.5 bar. Should you

need to adjust the steam pressure please refer to the maintenance section of the

owner‟s manual.

 The lower gauge is for your pump (brew) pressure. When sitting idle the gauge is

reading trapped pressure in the system and may vary. To get an accurate pump

pressure reading install your backflush disc in the portafilter and lock it into the

grouphead and then raise the brew lever. After a few seconds the pressure should

rise to about 9 - 10 bar. When you make espresso the pressure on the gauge will be

slightly less at about 8.5 - 9.5 bar which is normal. This can be helpful in setting up

your grinder. If your pressure goes to 9 - 10 bar with the backflush disc, but when

you make espresso it is less than 8 bar then that means you need to go finer with

your grind which will create more resistance to raise the pressure. Should you need

to adjust the pump pressure please refer to the maintenance section of the owner‟s

manual for instructions on setting the pump pressure.
