MACHINE INSTALLATION

Preparation for installation

information
  • Place the machine on an even and stable surface.
  • Ensure that the machine is on a water-resistant surface in case of water spillage or leakage.
  • Do not place the machine on hot surfaces.

Electrical connection

caution
information
  • Ensure that the local main voltage supply corresponds to the information on the machine label on the front panel of the espresso machine.
  • Ensure that you use the correct power plug for your country.
  • Plug the machine into a grounded socket only and do not leave it unattended.
  • Do not roll or bend the power cord.
  • Do not use a power extension cord or a multiple socket.

FIRST USE

Read the instruction manual carefully prior to operating the machine.

information Prior to starting the machine, check if:
  • the steam and hot water valves are closed.
  • the machine is switched off. (Power switch in lower position.)
  • the power cord is disconnected.
  • the drip tray is inserted correctly.
  • the machine is placed on a water resistant surface.

Now you can start up your machine:

  1. Open the cup warmer tray.
  2. Remove the water tank and rinse thoroughly.
  3. Fill the water tank with fresh water low in lime, place it back and close the cup warmer tray. PRO 400: Set the metal toggle switch to "ON" (indicated by the green LED lighting up).
    JUMP: Press the on/off switch to turn on the machine (indicated by the LED ring lighting up). The machine is now on.
  4. The pump will start up and fill the machine's boiler with fresh water.
    JUMP: The display shows the current settings for preinfusion (Pi), ECO mode (Eco) and temperature unit (°C or °F) and then switches to regular operation.
  5. As soon as the boiler has finished filling, you will no longer hear any pump noise. As soon as the fresh water drops below a certain level in the fresh water tank,
    PRO 400: the machine switches off electrically and the green LED flashes.
    JUMP: The display shows "tAn".
    You now need to top up with fresh water. The machine heats up automatically.
  6. As a large amount of water is required when first filling the boiler, the water tank will need to be refilled with fresh water.
  7. Wait until the boiler pressure (indicated on the upper part of the gauge) shows 1.0-1.5 bar.
  8. A manual "boiler ventilation" is not necessary because the PRO 400 and the JUMP is equipped with a professional depression valve that ventilates the boiler during the heating phase.
  9. Move the brew group lever into the upper position and dispense approx. 250 ml of water. The heat exchanger will be filled with water and the circulation of the water in the thermosyphon system begins.
  10. Move the brew group lever into the lower position. Refill the water tank if necessary.
  11. The machine is now ready for use. Place the cups on the cup heater tray to preheat them and enjoy your coffee.
information Before making the first coffee, please rinse the machine by extracting about 2-3 water tanks worth from the brew group and the hot water wand. See also chapter Dispensing of hot water
information The PRO 400 / JUMP 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 through the hot water valve. In this case please switch the machine off and on again.
information Please note that the portafilter, drip tray and water tank are not dishwasher safe.

USE OF THE MACHINE

Preparation of the machine

The switched off machine is to be placed into operation as follows:

  1. Fill the water tank, if necessary.
  2. PRO 400: Set the metal toggle switch to "ON" to turn on the machine (indicated by the green LED lighting up).
    JUMP: Press the on/off switch to turn on the machine (indicated by the LED ring lighting up). The machine is now on.
  3. Wait until the boiler pressure (indicated on the upper part of the gauge) shows 1.0-1.5 bar.
  4. Depending on the ambient temperature, the heat-up phase is approx. 25 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 to heat up the portafilter.
information It is recommended to leave the portafilter in the brew group, keeping it warm for optimum temperature for coffee extraction.
information JUMP:
Upon startup, the machine sequentially displays the version number, current preinfusion and eco mode settings, and the temperature settings in either °C or °F.
When the switch on the underside of the machine is pressed, the corresponding temperature (120°C, 124°C or 128°C or 248°F, 255°F or 262°F) is displayed.
information JUMP:
Shot counter: During extraction process, the throughput time is shown on the display until the Brew lever is moved back to the lower position. If pre-infusion is activated, a countdown of 5 seconds followed by a 3-second pause is displayed first. The shot counter then starts.

Manual adjustment of the brewing pressure

You can adjust the brewing pressure by turning the adjusting screw individually, between approx. 8.5 and 12 bar.
To adjust the brewing pressure, follow these steps:

  1. Open the cup warmer tray.
  2. Insert the portafilter with the blind filter into the brew group.
  3. Operate the brew group lever and note the brewing pressure on the lower section of the gauge.
  4. Use a flat screwdriver or similar tool to adjust the brewing pressure by turning the adjusting screw.
    Turn the screw anti-clockwise to reduce the brewing pressure and clockwise to increase it.
  5. Check the pump pressure (on the lower part of the gauge) to see the adjusted brewing pressure.
  6. Return the brew group lever to the lower position. Remove the portafilter from the brew group, then remove the blind filter and insert a coffee filter again.
  7. The machine is ready for use again.

Selecting the boiler temperature

You can set the boiler temperature of your Pro 400 / JUMP before starting or while using your machine.
The preset temperatures are selected via the 3-position switch (see below).
Selecting the boiler temperature - Step 1

120°C (248°F) (Pos. I) 124°C (255.2°F) (Pos. II) 128°C (262.4°F) (Pos. III)
JUMP
The display showing "°C" or "°F" confirms the temperature values being displayed in either degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit.

The preset values for the PRO 400 / JUMP are 120°C/248°F (switch position I), 124°C/255.2°F (switch position II), and 128°C/262.4°F (switch position III). For different coffee roasts or compositions, it is advisable to adjust the temperature of the boiler.
The PRO 400 / JUMP is a two-circuit or heat exchanger espresso machine. In a heat exchanger, the brewing water is heated indirectly by the boiler.
After heat-up phase and a short flush*, the specified boiler temperatures of the PRO 400/JUMP are approx. 90°C for switch position I, approx. 94°C for switch position II and approx. 98°C for switch position III. The measured temperatures may vary as they depend on the operating time, the ambient temperature and other factors.
* During a flush, the portafilter is removed from the brew group and a so-called "empty draw" is performed to clean the shower screen from any coffee residue and to remove excessively hot brewing water (this can occur in a heat exchanger machine due to its design) from the heat exchanger. In our measurements, the duration of the flush was two seconds in each case, to ensure comparability between the different brews. It is recommended to adjust the flush duration based on what is seen and heard such as bubbling or hissing. Changing the flush duration affects the brewing temperature.
For different coffee roasts or compositions, it is advisable to adjust the temperature of the boiler.
For optimal flavor balance, adjusting the brewing temperature according to the roast depth is advisable. The darker the roast, the cooler the extraction temperature should be selected for the most balanced flavor impression. This helps to reduce unwanted bitterness in the cup. If, on the other hand, the coffee tastes too acidic, a balance can be achieved by selecting a higher extraction temperature.
For the following description, we used 16.5g of a dark espresso roast and obtained it in a ratio of 1:2.5 with a reference quantity of 45g. The water was blended with a filter to a total hardness of 4°dH.
Selecting the boiler temperature - Step 2

Taste (0-5) Switch position I 120°C Switch position II 124°C Switch position III 128°C
Sweet 1.50 0.50 1.00
Acidity 2.00 0.50 0.50
Saltiness 1.00 1.00 1.00
Bitterness 2.50 3.50 4.00
Body 2.50 3.00 3.00
Aftertaste 2.00 2.50 3.00
Corresponds approx. to a brewing temperature of 90°C 94°C 98°C

informationWe recommend switch positions I and 0 for espresso and position II for the focus on more steam output.

Preinfusion

Preinfusion is a process where the coffee grounds in the portafilter are moistened before the brewing begins. This allows the grounds to evenly expand and seal any channels, ensuring consistent resistance throughout the filter. This results in a more uniform extraction of flavors from the coffee. By default, preinfusion is deactivated.

6.9 Preparing coffee

Use the portafilter with 1 spout and the corresponding filter (1 cup) for the preparation of 1 cup. Use the portafilter with 2 spouts and the big filter (2 cups) for the preparation of 2 cups. Make sure that the filter is securely locked into the portafilter.
Fill the filter with ground coffee. (The marking inside the filter basket can help you find the right amount of coffee.)
Compress the ground coffee with the tamper. A tamping pressure of approx. 20 kg is recommended for even compaction. Securely clamp the portafilter into the brew group.
Place the cup under the spout of the portafilter (for the preparation of 2 cups, put 1 cup under each spout).
Now move the brew group lever into the upper position to start the brewing process. The volume for a single espresso is approx. 20 to 30 ml. Place the brew group lever back into the original position once the desired volume is reached.
The remaining pressure/water will be discharged into the drip tray through the lower part of the infusion cylinder.
The pump pressure can be read in the lower section of the gauge. If the ground coffee is too coarse, a brewing pressure of over 9 bars is not possible.
Note: After the brewing process, the gauge still indicates a certain pressure. Only when preparing another cup of coffee will the build-up of pressure be visible again.

caution
If the brew group lever is not moved into the lower position properly, hot water and grounds will squirt out of the brew group while taking out the portafilter. This may cause injuries.
information
Only freshly ground coffee allows for an optimal coffee result. Therefore, use a professional coffee grinder. In our assortment you will find several professional and compact coffee grinders.
information We recommend using the Profitec stainless steel tamper with a diameter of 58.4 mm for optimum tamping.

Dispensing of hot water and steam

information
PRO 400: To protect the steam gasket and hot water valve, please ensure that both valves are not closed completely. The valve is closed even when not completely tightened.

Dispensing of hot water

  1. Place a suitable water container (with a heat-insulated handle) under the hot water wand. After moving the power switch into the lower position, you can dispense water (e. g. for tea) by opening the hot water valve.
  2. After dispensing water, switch the machine on again. The boiler will be filled with water automatically.
information When the machine is switched off, it is possible to dispense.
However, one does not necessarily have to switch off the machine for dispensing hot water.
caution
To prevent injuries from hot water, always place the nozzle of the wand into the water container.

Dispensing of steam
The PRO 400 / JUMP is equipped to produce significant amounts of steam for heating or frothing beverages such as milk or punch. It is a professional and compact espresso coffee machine with a large steam volume, allowing you to prepare milk froth within a few seconds. Do not bring the milk to a boil, otherwise it will not be possible to froth the milk.


  1. To get the best result when frothing milk, open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds to release the condensation water in the pipe.
  2. Immerse the steam nozzle (at the end of the steam dispenser) in the liquid.
  3. Re-open the steam valve.
  4. Heat and/or froth the liquid.
  5. After frothing or heating, release the steam into the drip tray to keep the holes of the steam nozzle clean.
caution Risk of injury
Always keep the steam nozzle underneath the surface of the liquid while heating or frothing to avoid being sprayed by steam.
information
After every application, clean the steam nozzle and wand with a non-abrasive, damp cloth to remove possible liquid residue.
caution Risk of injury
Avoid skin contact with the steam nozzle and wand while cleaning!

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Regular and accurate care is very important for the performance, longevity, and safety of your machine.

caution
Always switch off the machine (power switch in lower position), disconnect the power cord and let the machine cool down to room temperature (for at least 30 minutes) before cleaning.
Never submerse the machine in water; there is a danger of an electric shock.

General cleaning

Daily cleaning:
The portafilters, filters, water tank, drip tray, drip plate of the drip tray and tamper require daily cleaning. Clean with warm water and/or with a food safe detergent.
Clean the shower screen and the group gasket in the lower part of the group and remove visible dirt without disassembling the parts.

information Please note: the portafilters, drip tray, water tank and tamper are not dish washer safe.

Cleaning as necessary:
Clean the steam and hot water wands after every use.
Clean the machine when it has been switched off and cooled down.
Depending on usage, please refresh the boiler water every 2 – 3 weeks by discharging about 0.8L of hot water from either the hot water wand or brew group.

information Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.
Never use abrasive or chloric detergents!

Empty the drip tray regularly before it is full to avoid spillage.

Brew group cleaning

Brew group cleaner is available at your specialized dealer allowing you to clean and degrease the brew group very easily with the included blind filter. Brew group cleaning should be carried out after approx. every 90 - 140 cups.
Follow the instructions carefully:

  1. Heat up the machine until the operating pressure has been reached (1.0-1.2 bar).
  2. Clean the brew group using the brew group brush.
  3. Place the blind filter into the portafilter.
  4. Fill the blind filter with group cleaner according to the package instructions.
  5. Clamp the portafilter into the brew group.
  6. Operate the brew group lever. The blind filter will fill with water.
  7. Let the detergent react, moving the group lever into the middle position, approx. 45°. (Do not move it into the lower position.)
  8. Move the lever into the lower position after approx. 20-60 seconds to allow the fats and oils to be discharged by the infusion cylinder.
  9. Repeat steps 5-7 up to 10 times, until only clear water is discharged out of the infusion cylinder.
  10. Rinse the portafilter and the blind filter with fresh water. Then replace it.
  11. Operate the brew group lever for approx. 40 seconds. Then move it back into the lower position.
  12. Remove the portafilter and repeat step 10. After this, the brew group is ready for use.
  13. Replace the blind filter with the coffee sieve again for normal operation.
caution
Beware of hot water while cleaning the group.
information If you clean the brew group to often with cleaner, it may start squeaking. Do not clean it too often with cleaner, as it can degrease all the moving parts and risk wearing them out prematurely. It is recommended to clean the brew group from time to time without cleaner.

Empty the water drip tray regularly and do not wait until it is full.

The water tank is not inserted properly. Insert the water tank properly.
The coffee extraction (pump) starts for a few seconds, stops and starts again. Preinfusion mode is activated. Deactivate the preinfusion.
JUMP: The display shows a negative countdown followed by three dashes ("- - -"). Perform a reset of the machines.

If the machine is not to be used for a long period of time, it is recommended to:
.. clean the brew group. Afterwards, please do not clamp the portafilter back into the group.
.. empty the boiler. Switch the machine off (power switch in position "OFF") and open the hot water dispenser. Due to the boiler pressure, the boiler water is now discharged by the hot water dispenser. Close the hot water valve again after emptying the boiler. To restart the machine, see chapter "First use".

How to froth milk like a "barista"

  • If possible, use cold milk, so you have longer time to froth the milk. The fat content of the milk is not relevant, the protein content is important. Even homogenized milk is suitable - if you prefer.
  • Use a metal frothing container with a minimum volume of 350 ml. The container should not be too wide. A narrow, high container is recommended.
  • Open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds to release the water condensation and to create dry steam.
  • Fill 1/3 of the frothing container with milk and place it under the steam nozzle. The nozzle should be immersed in the middle of the frothing container, just below the surface.
  • Slowly open the steam valve, steaming the milk.
  • Keep the frothing container still.
  • After a few seconds you will notice a light suction in the milk jug as frothing begins. Lower the milk jug as the milk level increases. The steam nozzle must be kept under the surface of the frothed milk.
  • warningAttention: When the desired amount of milk froth has been reached, immerse the entire steam nozzle in the frothing container for a short time and close the steam valve.
    information Milk proteins "froth" at temperatures up to 77°C.
    Once this temperature is exceeded, the milk will not froth any further.
  • Advice: When milk frothing is finished, just shake the frothing container a little bit to make the milk bubbles ascend to the surface and to get a more compact milk froth.
  • After frothing the milk, release the steam into the drip tray to remove milk residue and avoid any blockage of the steam nozzle.

For a perfect coffee result a professional grinder is as important as a good coffee bean.

information
You should use water with a max. hardness of 4° dH in order to protect your machine from lime scale damage. When necessary, make use of a water softener / water filter cartridge to reach an adequate degree of hardness. If these measures are insufficient, a prophylactic descaling of the machine may be necessary. Contact your specialized dealer before undertaking this measure.
An already calcified machine may only be descaled by your specialized 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.
