If this cable has been damaged, turn off the machine and get immediately in contact with the authorized technician in order to solve the problem and avoid any danger. v) Unplug the machine from the electrical net when the device is not going to be used for a long perod of time, usually more than 3 days. To make sure the machine is working properly, it is totally indispensable to fulfill these instructions provided by the manufacturer. In particular, it is important to check all what is related with security. It is important to not use hands or other nude parts of the body to get in touch with the hot metallic parts of the machine, such as the brewing groups, the water spigot and the steam arms because the hot water and the steam can be very hot and hurt and burn your skin. The metallic part of the brewing groups, steam wands, and water spigots is very hot when the machine is working at its normal regime, so please be very careful with that. Steam wands must be always handled by its burn protectors and the filter-holders by its black handle. Make sure the cups are totally dry when placing them on the cup-warmer grill (top of the machine). This will avoid water from getting inside the machine and will allow you the have warm cups much faster. Only silverware and ceramic cups which are specific for this kind of machines can be placed on the cup- warmer. In case you have doubts, please contact with the seller. Warming any other object is therefore considered not appropriate and dangerous.

- 8. 3.2.- Preparation and start-up The machines are manufactured in 1, 2 or 3 group heads, and can be equipped with Basic, Standard or High gamma accessories. They are professional, trustworthy, high performance and efficiency machines. Before the technician turns on a machine, he must make sure that the socket has a proper ground and that the water inlet pipe and drainage tube have been properly installed. Moreover, the water key must be open to let water in when the machine starts running. The minimum Net pressure is 300 kPa (3 Bar). Make sure all these preparations and parameters are correct. After this is done, the machine can be plugged to power (1 Phase, 110V or 220/230V depending your case and 50/60Hz) and turned on by the technician. We can also supply 380Volt, and 2 Phases. When turning on the machine, place the main switch to Position 1. This will permit the machine to start. First thing the machine will do is checking the water level inside the boiler. As it is empty, the machine will start filling the boiler. The Pos. 2 in the main switch makes same function as Pos.1. In case of main Leds, Pos.2 will turn on and off the Leds lights. If for any reason the boiler does not finish the filling process during 2 minutes, the buttons on the touch- pads will blink. If this happens, place the main switch in Pos.0 and start the process again. In order to help the machine filling the boiler, we can open the faucets/taps and press a button on a touchpad to activate the group. This will release possible air accumulated inside the system. Just to know that the machine comes with a electronic level control, so each time the machine detects a lack of water inside the boiler, it will automatically activate the motor-pump and the filling solenoid to refill the boiler. The machine has been equipped with a double probe system. One probe is to protect the heating element (Security probe) and the other probe is to control the water level inside the boiler (Level probe). First probe will allow the machine to heat the water when it arrives to that minimum level inside the boiler, and the second probe will limit the filling of the boiler, avoiding the boiler from exceeding its water level. Otherwise there would be not enough room for the steam. Being the boiler filled, the element will keep heating the water during aprox 15 minutes until the steam pressure inside the boiler is 100 kPa (1 Bar), and the temperature of the water reaches aprox the 100ºC (212ºF). Now it will be only the pressure-stat the one to run the machine. It will control when the element must turn on and off to heat the water inside the boiler and generate enough steam pressure. So now the machine is ready to start making coffees and getting hot water for tee or steam to froth the milk, shakes, etc. Once on a while make sure all the parameters are correct: water net pressure must be minimum 300 kPa (3 Bar), boiler pressure 100 kPa (1 Bar) and pump pressure 900 kPa (9 Bar). If some of these parameters are not correct, please let the technician know so he can adjust them again. Never open the machine and try to adjust or modify these parameters for yourself!!! 3.3.- Preparation and coffee brewing When all is ready to work, we recommend to play with the machine. It means taking some water from the groups by pushing on a touchpad button (or the push-button if the machine is semi automatic), as well as getting out some steam and hot water. This will warm the group heads and the wands and so the machine will be ready to make coffees. When pressing a button from a touch pad, the corresponding green/blue Led will blink showing that the brewing process is working properly.
- 9. The touch pad has 4 or 5 programable buttons (from left to right: 1 short coffee/espresso, 1 long coffee/americano, 2 short coffees/espressos, 2 long coffees/americano) and a fifth button of a Continuous Brewing (button with a “C” or “Star” on it). In case of automatic water, use the 6th button for that purpose. The Continuous Brewing button has 2 main functions: 1- It allows the user to make a continuous brewing of coffee. 2- It permits the user to enter into the programming mode to control the dosages of each button. In the first case, the buttons permits a continuous coffee extraction, i.e. it starts when pressing the button and only stops when pressing again. It is very important to read the following warning. IMPORTANT: In case to use the “C” button (Continuous Brewing) to make coffee, make sure it does not keep activated too long. In fact, 30 seconds are more than enough to make a long coffee (the so-called ‘americano’ coffee), so we Strongly recommend to not use it more than 30 straight seconds. In case we want to use the “C” button to make several long coffees (with a minimum of 30 seconds each), we should not make more than 30 long coffees/hour, and then let the button rest a minimum of 2 - 5 minutes. If the “C” button kept activated for a long period of time and with no control of the user, the machine would run out of hot water in the group heads, would be disabled for some time to make coffee again and it would need some time to get back into the proper functioning regime. In addition, letting the “C” button activated for long time would cause severe damages to the machine. These damages can always vary, but a lack of water coming from the net as a consequence of a wrong use of the “C” button could overheat and damage the pump. And on the contrary, a never ending leak of water coming out from the group heads with no control of the user could cause severe damages and losses to the local, either is a possible flood or sparks as a result of possible contact between water and electricity. So, just remember to use the “C” button under a strict control of the user. Advice: It is always preferable to use the 4 provided programmable buttons to make coffee. In the second case, the Continuous Brewing button permits the user to enter into the programming mode to control the dosages of the 4 programmable buttons. We must follow these steps to program the dosage: 2.1- Press the “C” button on the first touchpad (always starting from left side) and keep it pressed until the buttons of the touch pad blink. Note: Ask the supplier for the precise programming instructions. 2.2- Press the dose button you want to adjust (1Short, 1Long, 2Short, 2Long) and the water will start coming out from the group. 2.3- When the volume is what you want the dose to be, press the dose button again and it will keep automatically programmed. 2.4- Repeat steps 2.2 and 2.3 to modify the other dose buttons. (We recommend following this process with the filter holder filled with coffee, to ensure that the final quantity is what you desire to cup to be). 2.5- When finished, press the “C” button to exit the programming mode and turn off the machine to keep the changes. The left touch pad is the master, so if the machine has 2 or 3 groups, the programming will stay the same on the right touch pads. Now you can turn on again the machine. Do the same process on each touch pad in case you want to program different dosages per touch pad.
- 10. 3.4.- Hot water spigot Before getting hot water into a cup or a pitcher, it is always convenient to open/activate the hot water faucet/tap for a couple of seconds. This will keep the spigot warm and will avoid the temperature of the water going down when touching the s/steel wand. 3.5.- Steam wand It is also convenient to get some steam during a couple of seconds, to release any possible water condensation inside the wand and keep it also warm. 3.6.- Cleaning procedures When finishing the daily work with the machine, remove the filter-holders from the group heads and immerse them into water. This will help you to clean them. Moreover, get some steam through the steam wands and clean any possible rest of milk with a wet cloth. In addition, get some water from the group heads to clean the shower and avoid coffee rest to get stuck there. Then you can turn off the machine and open a steam faucet/tap to release steam from the boiler. Also the service tray can now be removed and cleaned. Finally, you can clean the front and sides of the machine using a wet cloth, and place the cleaned and dry components in the right place. Like this, the machine will be ready to start next day. 3.7.- Water softener (not included) Ask your technician about water softeners. It is always convenient to use a water softener to prevent future problems. Scale/lime is always the worst enemy of the machines. The softener extracts the scale from inlet water, avoiding the creation of lime deposits and encrustations, i.e. many problems in the future. There is different types of softeners: In case to use a salt softener, make sure you fill it with salt at due time or ask your technician to do so. The regeneration is the process through which the softener comes back to its original state by the addition of salt. The presence of salt inside the boiler and pipes as a consequence of the non regeneration nullify any granting of warranty from the factory. (The softener is not included with the machine). In case to use a cartridge softener, make sure you have the proper replacement ready when it needs to be changed. 3.8.- Alarm signs The machines are equipped with an alarm. It gets activated if one of the following situations occurs: 1- It takes too long to brew the coffee (possible causes: coffee too fine, too much pressure, etc). 2- It takes more than 2 minutes to fill the boiler. When this happens, the touch pads blink and in case the boiler is filling, the filling process also stops… …so, MAKE SURE THE ALARM IS QUITE, AND ENJOY YOUR MACHINE!
- 11. 4- INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TECHNICIAN 4.1.- Description of the internal components Our qualified technicians know very well the machines and how they work. However, we have prepared an in-person-course for all those that want to extend they knowledge about the machines, their components, how to service, maintain and repair them in place, etc. 4.2.- Positioning of the machine The machine must be placed in a place that permits the user to work comfortable, and which is dry and flat. It is convenient that the surface inclination does not exceed the 2º. A bigger inclination could cause imbalances on the machine, like different quantities of water coming out from the groups, etc. 4.3.- Connection to water net As mentioned in paragraph 3.2- , the technician must install the water inlet pipe (metallic flexible pipe) and the drainage tube (grey flexible tube) before the machine is turned on. Moreover, it is important to verify that the water key is opened and the water pressure has a minimum of 300 kPa (3 Bar), so that the machine works in a proper and comfortable way. 4.4.- Connection to electrical net Again, as mentioned in paragraph 3.2-, the technician must install the machine to the electrical power supply before the machine is turned on. In case the machine comes without plug (usually it comes without it), the technician will need to install a plug or a multiple connector/strip on the electrical cable. Moreover, it is important for the technician to verify that the local has a proper ground and connect the machine only to a socket with ground available. The machine comes with a proper ground point and three labels (see the sign below) indicate these ground points in the machine. 4.5.- Security valve The machine has inside a boiler that permits it to have hot water and steam. This boiler has a security valve installed on the top, which will release steam in case the pressure goes up (more than 1,8 Bar). This is the first security system of the machine, to avoid pressure inside the boiler going up. 4.6.- Vacuum valve The vacuum valve is also installed on the top of the boiler. It permits the machine to get rid off the vacuum effect that appears inside the boiler after the steam pressure goes down. Doing this way, the suction of liquids by the boiler is eliminated when the machines starts-up again.
- 12. 4.7.- Expansion valve This expansion valve (expansion-retention) is the second security system in the machine. This valve is placed under the service tray (see component 7, paragraph 3.1) and permits the machine to retain the water inside the system (retention valve) and at the same time to release water in case the pressure of the pump/system is higher than 1.500 kPa (10,5 Bar). This double security system makes the coffee machines 100% safe for the end user. IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances must end users manipulate this valve. Only a high qualified technician must have access to it!!! 4.8.- Water level inside the boiler The level of water inside the boiler is automatically controlled by the machine. The end user does not need to do anything regarding this matter. He will only see the green light ON when the level is OK and the orange light ON when the machine is filling the boiler. The red light indicates that the heating is working, so the water is being heated inside the boiler to get the right pressure (100 kPa) to provide the user enough steam to froth the milk, etc. 4.9.- Internal insulation The machine is equipped with double insulation on its internal wiring, to provide security to technicians when operating or servicing the machine, as well as for end users, etc. 5- PRODUCT CERTIFICATIONS Having gone through all the necessary tests (*) in the Electrical Test Lab SGS TECNOS, S.A.U., based In Madrid (Spain), we certify that this product fulfills all the requirements in order to be commercialized.
