4. Configuració
4.1. Desembalatge
Carefully remove the machine from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit. Retain packaging materials for future transport or storage.
4.2. Col·locació
Place the espresso machine on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface capable of supporting its weight (approximately 120 pounds). Ensure adequate ventilation around the machine and that it is positioned near a suitable water supply and electrical outlet.
4.3. Connexió d'aigua
This machine requires a direct connection to a water mains supply. Connect the machine's water inlet to a filtered, potable water source using appropriate plumbing fittings. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. It is recommended to install a water filter system to protect the machine from scale buildup.
4.4. Connexió d'alimentació
Before plugging in, verify that the machine's voltage matches your electrical supply (120V or 230V). Connect the power cord to a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapters.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1. Initial Startup and Boiler Fill
- Assegureu-vos que el subministrament d'aigua estigui connectat i engegat.
- Plug in the machine. The automatic electronic water level control will begin filling the boiler.
- Once the boiler is filled, the heating element will activate. Allow the machine to heat up until the manometer indicates the optimal operating pressure (typically 0.8-1.2 bar). This may take 20-30 minutes.
- Purge a small amount of water from each group head and the hot water tap to ensure proper water flow and remove any air.
5.2. Programming Volumetric Dosing
The machine features four programmable cup size selections per group. To program a button:
- Place a portafilter with ground coffee into the group head.
- Press and hold the desired volumetric button until espresso begins to flow.
- Release the button when the desired volume of espresso has been dispensed. The machine will remember this volume for future extractions using that button.
- A dedicated stop button is available for manual control or to interrupt a programmed shot.
5.3. Extracció d'espresso
- Insert a portafilter with properly ground and tamped coffee into a group head.
- Place your cup(s) beneath the spouts.
- Press the desired programmed volumetric button. The machine will automatically dispense the pre-set amount of espresso.
- For continuous brewing, press the continuous brew button and press the stop button when desired volume is reached.
5.4. Llet al vapor
- Ensure the steam wand is clean and clear.
- Submerge the tip of the 360° swiveling steam nozzle just below the surface of the milk in a pitcher.
- Slowly open the steam tap. Steam will begin to froth the milk.
- Once the desired texture and temperature are achieved, close the steam tap.
- Netegeu immediatament la vareta de vapor amb aiguaamp drap i purgeu una petita quantitat de vapor per eliminar qualsevol residu de llet.
5.5. Dispensació d'aigua calenta
- Place a cup under the 360° swiveling hot water nozzle.
- Open the hot water tap. Hot water will dispense.
- Close the tap when the desired amount of hot water is dispensed.
6. Manteniment
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your espresso machine.
6.1. Neteja diària
- Wipe down all exterior surfaces with a damp tela.
- Buidar i netejar la safata de degoteig.
- Clean the steam wand immediately after each use by wiping and purging.
- Rinse portafilters and filter baskets.
6.2. Group Head Cleaning (Backflushing)
Perform backflushing daily or as needed to remove coffee oils and residue from the group heads:
- Insert a blind filter basket into a portafilter.
- Add a small amount of espresso machine cleaning detergent (follow detergent instructions).
- Bloqueja el portafiltre al capçal del grup.
- Activate the brew cycle for 5-10 seconds, then stop. Repeat 3-5 times.
- Remove the portafilter, rinse the blind filter, and repeat the process without detergent to rinse thoroughly.
6.3. Descalcificació
The frequency of descaling depends on your water hardness. Use a commercial descaling solution designed for espresso machines. Follow the descaling product's instructions carefully. Regular descaling prevents mineral buildup in the boiler and pipes, which can affect performance and machine lifespan.
6.4. Boiler Maintenance
The copper boiler and transversal heat exchangers are designed for durability. Ensure proper water filtration to minimize scale buildup, which is the primary concern for boiler health. For any internal boiler maintenance, consult a qualified technician.
