Manual Adjustment Of The Brewing Pressure; First Use - ECM synchronika User Manual

Bedienungsanleitung / User Manual SYNCHRONIKA
Important
Please make sure that only your authorized ECM-dealer connects the machine to the water supply
and installs the pressure regulator and shut off valve.
To avoid calcification of the machine a water-softener is recommended.
The machine may only be descaled by your specialised dealer because a partial disassembly of the
boiler and the tubing may be necessary to prevent the system from being blocked by lime residues.
A late descaling can cause substantial damage to the machine.
The residual water is disposed off periodically by emptying out the water drip tray. Alternatively, you can hook the
machine directly up to a water drainage. Please proceed as follows: Remove the sealing screw in the drip tray and
fasten the drainage container to the rim below the drip tray. Connect a suitable hose (not included with delivery) to
the drip tray and to an already installed drainage syphon.

4.4 Manual adjustment of the brewing pressure

The brewing pressure of the machine can be adjusted manually, without opening the machine, through an adjusting
screw at the bottom of the machine. This adjustment must be carried out by expert specialists.

FIRST USE

5.1 First use
Read the instruction manual carefully prior to operating the machine.
Prior to starting the machine, check if:
• the steam and hot water valves are closed.
• the machine is switched off. (Power switch in the vertical position.)
• the power cord is disconnected.
• the drip tray is inserted accurately.
Now you can start up your machine:
Water tank machine or machine in use with water tank
1 Open the cup warming tray.
2 Take out the water tank and rinse it thoroughly.
3 Fill the water tank with fresh water deficient in lime, place it back into the water tank guides and close the cup
warming tray.
4 Plug the machine into an electrical outlet and position the brew lever upwards. Turn the machine on by placing
the metal switch in the upper position. The coffee boiler is now being heated and the green control lamp will
come on. In order to turn on the steam boiler as well, please make sure that the switch (Image 2) located under
the drip tray is in position '1'. The machine is now turned on. The pump is activated and is filling the steam
boiler with fresh water. Both boilers are being heated in succession.
5 As soon as water is released through the brew group, position the brew lever back downward. The coffee boiler
is now filled with water.
Since much water is used for the initial filling of the boilers, the water tank has to then be refilled with water.
6 As soon as the steam boiler is filled with water, the pump will become quiet and the PID-display will show the
current temperature of both boilers (reg. item 3.3). When the fresh water in the water tank drops to a certain
level, the machine shuts down and the PID-display turns off. You now have to refill fresh water. The machine
automatically heats up again.
7 Please wait until the boiler pressure gauge indicates a value of about 1.0 – 1.25 bars.
8 Manual boiler venting is not necessary because the Synchronika contains a professional Anti-Vacuum valve,
which automatically vents the boiler during the heat-up phase. This venting procedure is done by way of the
brew group, directly into the drip tray. Caution, steam forms!
9 The machine is now operational. In order to always have pre-heated cups, place them on the cup warming tray
and start enjoying your coffee.
Before preparing the first coffee, please clean the machine by extracting about 2L of hot water from
the brew group and the hot water wand.
