6.2 PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
The pressure switch shown in the figure acts to keep the boiler
pressure constant by engaging or de-activating the electrical heating
resistance.
This pressure switch is already calibrated to 1.1-1.3 bar during the
initial machine testing stage, but should a different working pressure
be required, it is possible to vary the operational field of the pressure
switch using the regulation screw (U); pressure reduction results in
a reduction in temperature, whilst increasing the pressure will also
increase the water temperature.
The regulation direction is shown in the figure and on the pressure
switch itself.
The pressure varies by 0.1 atm for every complete screw turn,
Warning: Disconnect the electricity supply before underta-
king this operation.

6.3 PUMP PRESSURE CALIBRATION
Insert the filter holder into the unit filled with regularly ground, dosed
and pressed coffee.
Switch on the unit switch or the unit control keyboard (15) and read
the pressure on the pump pressure gauge (6).
NB: The correct pressure is of 8-9 atm.
Should the pressure indicated on the pressure gauge be incorrect,
turn it clockwise to increase the pump pressure and anti-clockwise to
reduce the pressure.
Once adjustment is complete check pump calibration by delivering
one or more coffees.

Warning !!
When the machine is new the filter-holder sump may not be
aligned (perpendicular to the machine itself) as shown in the
figure at the side, however this does not effect the efficient
function of the same.
After a short period of use the sump will gradually settle into
a correct position.
A = Position of closed filter-holder with new machine.
B = Position of closed filter holder with machine after a short period
of use.

Note: Options include shower head gaskets that are thinner (8.1 mm,
part no. NG01/005) or thicker (9.0 mm, part no. NG01/002) than the
standard shower head gasket (8.5 mm, part no. NG01/001/B).
6.4 FILTERS FOR COFFEE MACHINE
Depending on the quantity of coffee ground, the appropriate filter must
be as shown below to avoid that, once the coffee has dripped out, the
leftover powder remains attached to the nozzle.
