Full Power (15A/20A Setting); Group Temperature Offset - Laspaziale S1 Dream Owner's Manual

7.32 Full Power (15A/20A Setting)

NOTE: If you change this to Full Power be sure you are first connected to a 20A outlet.

7.33 Group Temperature Offset

When you pick your desired group boiler temperature in the profile section, the actual water
temperature in your portafilter may be slightly different. This feature allows you to enter a negative or
positive offset value so that the water in the portafilter matches exactly with the value set. This should
be checked and adjusted properly before shipment to you. It takes a fairly expensive Scace device
with an accurate digital thermometer to set it properly. Therefore, you should leave this alone unless
you know what you are doing.
SW version 1.19 is designed so that an Offset of 0F/0C should be about right. Using a Scace the
author determined that at value of +1F works best in his machine which is why you see that value in
the screenshot below.
This works in conjunction with the group temperature setting; i.e. the two settings are
additive. You must ensure that this Offset is properly calibrated and that, when combined with
the group temperature setting, the water exiting the group always remains well below boiling.

The Owner's Manual instructs that this value should only be changed by a
trained technician. Apparently this can correct for inaccuracies of the steam
boiler temperature sensor. However, the steam boiler temperature is only
selected in order to adjust for the desired steam pressure. Therefore,
knowledge of the absolute temperature of the boiler is not really required.
Only the lower number is adjustable. The top number is the current steam
boiler temperature. The lower number acts as an offset to the upper
number.
The range is:-8F to +8F or -5C-+5C
