8.4 Preparing tea, camomile, etc.
Place the receptacle under the hot water spout and
use the dispensing control according to the model
(Fig.9). When the desired quantity has been obtained
turn off the switch.
Add the beverage desired.
When purified water is used, these beverages often
assume a darker color.
If you would prefer a lighter colored drink, draw fresh
water from an ordinary tap and proceed with the
heating phase as described in point 8.3.
9. ADJUSTMENT AND SETTING OF THE
DOSE (DE model)
It is possible to adjust the dose of coffee and hot
water dispensed by electronically controlled models.
9.1. Adjusting the dose
The quantity of coffee and hot water dispensed can
be adjusted using the button panel or the hot water
controls.
1. Press the E button on any button panel and
hold it down for 8-10 seconds until water stops
flowing from the dispensing unit and the LED of
the continuous flow button on the first button
panel on the left begins flashing.
2. It is necessary to make 1 or 2 trial cups in order
to make adjustments to dispense the correct
amount of coffee in the cup.
3. Put the filter-holder(with ground coffee) on the
left unit and the cup under the spout.
4. Operate the selected button(i.e. button A for
one small cup).
5. Once the required coffee amount in the cup has
been reached, press the stop button A. Coffee
will stop pouring and the microprocessor will
store the dose.
6. Press the continuous button E again. The LED
will go out and the machine will store the new
quantity.
7. Make the coffee and check the cup amount in
order to check that programming is correct.
If some doses have to be changed(A-B-C-D), once
at point 5 repeat the instructions in points 3-4-5 for
each dose, remembering to use the filter-holder with
the appropriate dose filter and freshly ground coffee.
Then carry out point 6 and repeat point 7 to check all
changed doses.
If all units are to be programmed with the same
doses, you are finished. If the dosage of another
group is to be changed, proceed as indicated in the
above mentioned points 1-7, using only the button
panel of the selected group.
10. MAINTENANCE
Maintenance operations have to be carried out
when the machine is off and cold and the plug
is disconnected. Some weekly cleaning
operations must be performed while the machine
is operating.
Do not clean the machine by using metal or
abrasive devices, such as steel wool, metal
brushes, needles, etc., or general detergents
(alcohol, solvents, etc.).
When necessary, use special detergents for
coffee machines that can be bought in
specialized service centers.
10.1. Daily
Use a clean sponge or cloth that does not leave lint
or fluff(preferably cotton or linen).
Carefully clean the outside surface, following the
grain of the satin finish on the parts in stainless steel.
Clean the steam and hot waterspouts. Check that
the nozzles are not encrusted. If they become
encrusted, be careful not to scratch or damage them
by scraping too hard while cleaning.
Clean the spray units and the seals under the casing
of the group heads using the special brush supplied.
Remove the filter-holders of the machine and remove
the filters and the clamp which secures the filter. Use
a brush to remove any coffee deposits and rinse with
hot water in order to dissolve any oily deposits.
