First Time Operation
For first time "out of the box" operation we recommend you clean the inside of your la Pavoni machine.
Follow the simple procedures below:
1.
FILL THE BOILER (9) WITH WATER UNTIL THE WATER LEVEL REACHES THE TOP OF
THE SIGHT GLASS (5). FOR THIS CLEANING PROCEDURE YOU MAY ADD ANOTHER 1/2
CUP (5OZ.) OF WATER TO THE BOILER.
2.
ADD A COFFEE DESCALER OR IF NOT AVAILABLE ADD 2 TABLESPOONS OF SODIUM
CARBONATE.
3.
CLOSE THE BOILER CAP (3) AND STEAM KNOB (4).
4.
TURN THE MACHINE ON AND ALLOW IT TO REACH OPERATING TEMPERATURE (THE
PRESSURE GAUGE (7) IN THE GREEN ZONE.) LEAVE THE MACHINE ON FOR 10 FULL
MINUTES. WATER WILL EXIT FROM THE SAFETY VALVE, THIS IS NORMAL. PLACE A
PAPER TOWEL OVER THE BASE OR LET THE WATER DRIP INTO THE BASIN.
5.
AFTER 10 MINUTES PLACE A CONTAINER UNDER THE GROUP (11) AND SLOWLY RAISE
THE LEVER (1).
6.
DISCHARGE WATER UNTIL THE SIGHT GLASS SHOWS A 1/4 TANK OF WATER
REMAINING.
7.
LOWER THE LEVER (1) AND SWITCH THE POWER OFF (6). YOU MAY THEN RAISE THE
LEVER (1) AGAIN AND ALLOW THE REMAINING WATER TO EXIT.
WHEN ALL WATER AND STEAM HAS EXITED, REPEAT STEPS
1, 3, 4, 5, 6 & -7 AGAIN TO FLUSH OUT ALL THE SOLUTION.
There are currently many coffee descalers available on the market, such as "Urnex" coffee
descaler. These are usually made of all natural citric powders. Your favorite coffee store can
advise you where to purchase these cleaners, or call us at 800/927-0277 for additional
information on where to purchase Urnex Coffee descaler.
This cleaning procedure should be repeated 4 to 5 times a year depending on usage.
Your machine may show moisture in the sight glass, this is normal. ALL la Pavoni machines
are tested prior to packing and shipping to insure their reliability.
Owners of copper/brass machines should be aware that the boiler (9) is made of solid copper
which is polished and then coated with lacquer. These units require NO maintenance. Never
use any copper cleaner or abrasives to clean. Use a damp cloth to clean.
Since copper is a natural material it will gradually turn a darker amber color with use, this is
normal. This natural " aging" process will enhance the beauty of your machine.

The art of making good , consistent espresso is just that, an art.

Water is also an important ingredient, if your tap water tastes like chlorine, switch to bottled water. The la Pavoni works best when the water level is in the middle to high range of the sight glass. At one inch from the bottom you should turn off your machine and add water. If you are not going to make more espresso for 30 minutes or so, turn the power off -- it will reheat fairly quickly. -
