GENERAL WARNINGS read carefully the instructions and warnings contained in this manual and in the “INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THE INSTALLER”, since they provide important indications concerning the installation of the appliance. Attention! The electric system, water supply system, drainage system, mUST already be put in place by the customer in order to allow the proper installation of the machine.
Page 12
Danger! The electrical safety of the appliance is fully achieved only after it has been correctly connected to an earthing system as required by the laws in force. It is necessary to have the earthing connection checked by professionally qualified personnel. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage caused by the lack or inefficiency of the system’s earthing connection.
• The appliance has IPX2 protection against water and therefore, it cannot be installed in areas where it may be subject to jets of water. • The appliance has class I protection against electric shocks. • The noise emitted by the appliance during normal operation is less than 70 dB. Attention! Failure to comply with the above regulations could jeopardise the correct operation and safety of the appliance as well as its useful lifetime.
Page 14
• Between the water mains and the water inlet pipe of the appliance, there must be a tap to stop the water flow if necessary (2 - Pict.7). • Water mains pressure must be within the range of 1 and 6 bar. If this requirement is not met, please consult the manufacturer. • The appliance is supplied without a plug. It is supposed to be directly connected to the power supply and therefore, it is necessary to fit a multi-pole power switch with a switch-contact gap of at least 3mm or more beforehand, according to the regulations in force (1 - Pict.7).

Dispose of the packaging as per the norms in force of the country in which the machine is used.
3.2 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES (Supplied only on request of the customer) LEGEND I. Water softener L. Water line impurity filter M. Pressure reducer N. Detergent 4. STARTING ELECTRIC AND WATER SYSTEM a) Open the water supply tap as arranged in the preparation for installation (See Pict. 7 on page 11 - Rif. 2). b) Check for any water leaks from the pipes/connections.
5. SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE FILLING THE BOILER A. Open the water supply tap as arranged during the preparatory stages (see Pict. 7 on page 11 - Ref. 2). B. Verify that the water mains pressure (approx. 4 bar) is visualized on the water mains pressure gauge (14). C.
D. Wait for the machine to reach the operating temperature, which can be visualized on the boiler pressure gauge (11) positioned on the appliance on Compact series machine; on 2-3-4 groups machines check on the lED light display (5) for the operating temperature (expressed in °C) pre set at the moment of the installation, to be attained.
5.2 TAKING HOT WATER FOR INFUSIONS A. Place the pitcher underneath the hot water spout. B. Open the valve (3) by moving the lever upwards until the desired amount of water is withdrawn. C. In order to stop the withdrawal close the valve by bringing back the knob or the lever to the initial position. Attention! Do not use the knob to deliver hot water before placing the pitcher below the hot water spout, to prevent possible burns.
5.4 STEAM DELIVERY FOR HOT DRINK PREPARATION A. Insert the steam wand (8-15) into the pitcher containing the drink to be heated up. B. move the knob upward. C. At the end of the heating of the drink, shut the steam delivery by moving the knob downward. Attention! Do not turn the knob (2) to deliver steam before inserting the steam wand (8-15) into the pitcher in order to prevent possible burns.
5.6 TEMPORARY TEMPERATURE INCREASE FUNCTION (not available in the Compact line) When the machine is operated in conditions which may considerably reduce its temperature, the boiler temperature can be increased by 2°C by pressing the (i) button for approximately 2 seconds; by doing this, the programmed SET temperature keeps blinking and at the same time the temperature symbol, 2°C higher with respect to the programmed SET, starts blinking as well (e.g.
Attention! When adjusting the milk foaming level, make sure not to touch the steam wand with temperature sensor (21) or wear protective gloves, to prevent possible burns. 5.8 CHRONO FUNCTION (optional) Chrono function allows to visualize on a display the delivery time of each coffee de- livery group.
In the event of simultaneous deliveries on different groups the display shows the de- livery time of the last activated group. Fig. 12 Push the button to visualize the delivery times of the groups that had been previ- ously activated. 5.9 COUNTER FUNCTION (optional) COUnTEr function allows to record the number of cups of coffee that have been delivered by the machine.

Once the machine is switched on, the display shows for a few seconds the date and then the partial and total counters. By pushing the “one short coffee” and “one long coffee” buttons, the counters are in- creased of one unit. By pushing the “two short coffee” and “two long coffee” buttons, the counters are increased of two units.
Then the display shows the counters again. Take note! It’s not possible to reset the total counter.
