In case of doubt, do not use the appliance, and contact La San Marco S.p.A. • All of the packaging must be carefully conserved in case the machine needs to be transported in the future.
• In case of malfunctions or failure of any machine component, contact the authorized service centre and request original La San Marco spare parts. The use of any other than original spare parts voids the con- formity certifications and the warranty that accompany the machine. • Any changes carried out on the machine and/or failure to carry out the scheduled maintenance will release the Manufacturer from any liability for any resulting damages and voids the conformity declara- tion and the warranty.

3.4 Installation of water system INTERNAl PUMP Use the pipe a (900 mm, provided with the machine) to connect the cut-off valve of the mains to the tap 1 for water inlet to the water softener (figure 3). Connect the pipe b for internal pump suction to the tap 2 of the water softener (figure 4). figure 3 figure 4 ExTERNAl PUMP (OPTIONAl)

In models100 Practical, when water reaches the level probe, filling stops and the green “MAx” lED of the electronic level control comes on. In other models of the 100 series, when water reaches the level probe, filling stops and the blue “OK” lED of the electronic level control comes on.
The steam pressure in the boiler is shown on the upper graduated scale of the pressure gauge. The calibra- tion of the steam in the boiler is set by lA SAN MARCO SPA at 1.0 bar. If you wish to modify this value, you will need to turn the pressure switch adjustment screw on the inside of the machine, which can be accessed directly from the work zone (figure 13-14).
(2, 3, 4, 5) for each serving group (figure 16). The valve is normally set to number 3 (this is the default setting provided by lA SAN MARCO SPA). If you want to change the serving temperature, you will need to use the valve (flow variator) of the group.

Operating instructions During the flow of espresso coffee, tea or steam, these substances can cause burns due to acci- dental skin contact. 6.1 Serving of espresso coffee Remove the filter-holding cup from the serving unit and fill it with a dose of ground coffee (filter cup with one spout) or with two doses of ground coffee (filter cup with two spouts).
6.3 Drawing hot water Hot water is drawn by the appropriate spout and can be used to prepare infusions, tea, camomile tea, to heat cups, to add water to an espresso and to obtain American-style coffee, and so on. Modelli 100 S Use the hot water drawing lever (lowering it, raising it or moving it to the side) to dispense hot water from the spout.
• Do not use harsh or harmful detergents such as alcohol, petrol or solvents to clean the coffee machine; use water and neutral detergents. Note: The daily cleaning operations must be carried out in order to maintain the efficiency of the machine and to guarantee the safety of the user and of the persons around it. 8.1 Cleaning the serving units and the filter holder To clean the dispensing unit use the filter-cup with blind filter supplied. Nota: For cleaning of the dispensing unit use only the cup with blind filter supplied.
9. idle periods If the machine is to remain idle for long periods (weekly closing days, holidays, etc.), take the following precautions: Turn the main switch to 0 (zero) and as necessary disconnect the power cord or the main switch of the electrical mains.
