Now you can start up your machine:
1 Remove the cup warming tray, take out the water tank and rinse it thoroughly.
2 Fill the water tank with fresh water deficient in lime, place it back into the water tank guides and close
the cup warming tray.
3 Insert the plug into the wall socket. Move the power switch into the upper position. The machine is
now on.
4 The green control lamp lights up.
5 The pump will fill the boiler of the machine with fresh water.
6 As soon as the boiler is filled, there will be no more pump noise; the orange control lamp is now on. As
soon as the fresh water sinks down to a certain level in the water tank, the machine is switched off
and the light of the orange control lamp switches off. In this case refill fresh water. The machine heats
up automatically.
7 Because a large amount of water is required for the first filling of the boiler, the water tank has to be
refilled with fresh water.
8 Wait until the boiler pressure gauge indicates approx. 1.0-1.25 bar or until 120°C have been reached.
9
depression valve that ventilates the boiler automatically during the heat-phase.
10 Move the brew group lever into the upper position and dispense approx. 500 ml of water. This way, the
heat exchanger will be filled with water and the circulation of the water in the thermosyphon system
begins.
11 Move the brew group lever into the lower position. Refill the water tank.
12 The machine is now ready for use. Put the cups on the cup heater tray in order to preheat them and
enjoy your coffee.
The PRO 500 has a fuse to prevent the machine from overfilling.
It is possible that the machine does not heat up when using it for the first time or when
dispensing large quantities of water over the hot water valve. In this case, please switch
the machine off and on.

6. USE OF THE MACHINE

6.1 Preparation of the machine

The switched off machine is to be placed into operation as follows:
1 Fill water into the water tank if necessary.
2 Turn the machine on (power switch in upper position).
3 Wait until the pressure gauge indicates approx. 1.0-1.25 bar or until the preset temperature on the PID
is reached.
4 Depending on the ambient temperature, the heat-up phase is approx. 15 minutes.
5 The machine is now ready for use.
6 Insert the portafilter and move the brew group lever into the upper position. Release some hot water.
This way the portafilter will be completely heated.
It is recommended to leave the portafilter in the brew group, keeping it warm for optimum
coffee dispension temperature.

6.2 PID-display functions

The following explains the different programming options of PID control.
6.2.1

Programming the temperature

The PID control allows you to program the steam temperature and thus the pressure inside the boiler for
steaming milk and to modify the extraction temperature of the coffee from the brew group.
Please note that after modifying the steam temperature via the display it may take a while
until the brew group temperature has been reached.
