5.1
Machine in use with water tank
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.
Plug the machine into the power outlet and press the power switch (LED ring lights up). The machine
is now turned on. The display shows "Fill". For more information, see chapter 7.2
4.
Ensure that the "Flow Control" regulator is open with at least one full turn. For more information, see
chapter 7.2.
Fill mode "Fill"
Place a small container (e.g. a milk jug) under the brew group. Lift the brew lever up and the pump
will start to fill the brew boiler. Rinse the machine for at least 30 seconds until water flows out of the
brew group. When you move the brew lever down "Fill" message should have disappeared from the
display.
5.
After filling the brew boiler, the steam boiler is automatically filled with fresh water.
6.
The initial filling requires a significant amount of water. If the freshwater level in the tank drops below
a certain point, the machine will shut off electrically. In this case, you need to refill with fresh water.
7.
As soon as the filling of the steam boiler is finished, you no longer hear any pump noise.
8.
The machine starts heating up the boiler. The PID display shows "Heating Up".
You can find out more about this in chapter 8.7.
9.
As soon as the boiler temperature is shown on the display, the machine is ready for use. Place the
cups on the cup tray so that they are always preheated.
Ensure that the machine is placed on a level stable, and water resistance surface.
If the first filling does not work, connect the machine to the fixed water supply (see
chapter 5.2). After the first filling, you can switch the machine back to the water tank
i
and continue to operate the machine with it. Follow the instructions in chapter 9.1.
Rinse the machine with 2 - 3 water tank fillings before making the first coffee. To do
this, allow the water run out of the brew group and the hot water pipe. More hot water
can be drawn when the machine is switched off (see chapter 9.4).
