Suggestions on how to obtain a good cup of coffee
To obtain a high-quality coee, it is important that water hardness of the water used does not exceed 4-5 °F
(French degrees). In the water hardness exceeds these values, it is advisable use a water softener.
Avoid using a water softener if water hardness is less than 4 °F. If the taste of chlorine in the water is especially
strong, a special lter should be installed.
It is not advisable to keep large stores of coee beans. Never grind large amounts of coee. Use the amount the
doser holds and if possible use it by the end of the day. Never purchase ground coee as it expires quickly.
After the machine has not been used for a period of time (2-3 hours) make a few dry runs. Be sure to carry out
regular cleaning and maintenance.
List of hazards
This chapter describes possible hazards for the user if the specic safety standards described in this booklet
are not adhered to.
The appliance must be connected to an ecient grounding system
If this is not done, the appliance can be a source of dangerous electrical discharges in that it is no longer able
to discharge electricity to earth.
Do not use running water to wash
The use of pressurized water directly on the machine can seriously damage electrical appliances. Never use water
jets to wash any part of the appliance.
Be careful with the steam nozzles and hot water
During use, the steam nozzles and hot water may overheat, thus becoming a source of danger. Handle such parts
carefully. Never direct steam or hot water jets directly on parts of the body.
Do not work on the machine when it is supplied with electrical power.
Before carrying out any intervention on the machine you must turn it o by means of the main network switch or
better yet, disconnecting the connection terminals in the network. Never remove any body panel when the machine
is supplied with electrical power.
Never work on the hydraulic system before having emptied it.
All work regarding the hydraulic system and the relative boiler are to be avoided when there is still water and
pressure in the system.You must therefore empty it beforehand, closing the mains cock and dry-running the delivery
group for a short time. Switch o the machine and open all the steam and water cocks and taps. With the pressure
zero, completely empty the boiler, unscrewing the special pipe tting situated on the lower part of it.
If the above procedure is not correctly carried out, opening any part of the hydraulic system can cause a sudden
outlet of overheated water under pressure.
Lever machines
Never lower the lever if there is no coee in the lter, or if the lter holder is not installed on the group: the sud-
den upwards movement of the lever may damage the appliance and injure individuals.
Gas machines
Periodically check for gas leaks in the system by applying a soapy solution to the ducts.
For safety reasons, close the gas heating system when the machine is not in use (at night or during hours of
closure)
