3. installation • Installation must be carried out by skilled authorised LA SAN MARCO SPA technical personnel. • The coffee machine is delivered in suitable packaging. The packaging contains the machine and its accessories, the user manual and the conformity declaration. After opening the packaging, make sure the coffee machine and its components are intact. In case of doubt, do not use the appliance, and contact the manufacturer.
Note: The water softener is considered an essential device to guarantee a proper operation of the espresso coffee machine. A water softening system should be provided in order to guarantee the efficiency, performance and duration of the components in the machine. 3.4 Installation of water system INTERNAl PUMP Use the tube a (900 mm, supplied with the appliance) to connect the cut-off valve of the water mains to the tap 1 for water inlet to the water softener (figure 3). Connect the tube b for internal pump suction to the tap 2 of the water softener (figure 4).

• If it is necessary to use adapters, multiple plugs and extensions, only products meeting applicable safety standards must be used. • To avoid any overheating of the power cable, unwind it completely.

4. start-up • The espresso coffee machine must be started by qualified technical personnel author- ised by LA SAN MARCO SPA. • Once the electric and hydraulic connections are completed, the user is advised to start the espresso coffee machine with the following procedure in order to avoid damaging the appliance. 4.1 Filling the boiler with water Check that the main switch of the appliance 1 (figure 1) is set to position 0 (zero). Remove the tray and the cup support grill and make sure that: a) The boiler drain valve a is closed (figure 8).
Note: An external pump can be installed on the coffee machine upon request. The pump operating pressure is calibrated by lA SAN MARCO SPA at a value of 9 bar. Should you wish to change this value, proceed as follows: The standard location for the pump is the right side of the machine (looking at it from the work zone). To access it, the right side must be removed (figure 11).
(2, 3, 4, 5) for each dispensing unit (figure 16). The valve is normally set to number 3 (this is the default setting factory set by lA SAN MARCO SPA). If you wish to change the dispensing tempera- ture, you will need to use the valve (flow variator) on the dispensing unit.
The mixer can be calibrated by turning the adjustment screw, which is accessed from the upper tray (figure 17). The mixer calibration is factory set by lA SAN MARCO SPA. If you want to increase the temperature of the hot water drawn, turn the screw clockwise. On the contrary, if you want to decrease the temperature of the water, turn the screw anti-clockwise.
The steamer must be used with care: contact of the skin with the steam spout or with the jet of steam itself can cause serious burns. Grip the burn protection sheath to change the position of the steam drawing spout. Never aim the jet of steam at persons or at objects which are not con- nected to the use described in this manual. Note: Before using the steam drawing spout, drain any condensation which may have formed within it into the tray. After using the spout, wipe it clean with a damp cloth, and if necessary drain any residue remaining inside it into the tray. 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. 6.4 Cup heater (optional) The cup heater is used to increase the heating of the upper cup support surface (by means of an electrical heating element).

To interrupt dispensing in continuous mode, stop the dosage by pressing the same key K5GRx . This de- energises the solenoid valve and the pump, and the signal lED is consequently turned off. Dispensing in continuous mode stops automatically (if it is not stopped) when the maximum product quantity is achieved;...

Thanks to a temperature probe suitably positioned on the steam spout and connected to the STlVAP input, the temperature of the liquid heated by the steam is measured. So by pressing the AUTOSTEAM key in position K6GRx key the EVVAP is activated until the temperature set in the Programming for Simulation is reached (see paragraph below).
On commissioning the water level in the boiler, the system waits for the level probe to be covered before activating the ON/OFF relay. The sensitivity of the level probes can be varied using a parameter in the TECHNICAl lEVEl Programming, in the following cases: ->...

bOIlER TEMPERATURE PRObE SHORT-CIRCUITED / OVERHEATED If the boiler temperature probe is short-circuited or if the temperature exceeds a given value for 5 seconds consecutively, an alarm is signalled through all the lEDs flashing. The alarm threshold is 140°C. All the main functions of the dosage are overridden. The keyboards are disabled, and all the actuators for all operations are overridden.

NO PUlSES FROM VOlUMETRIC METER (5 SECONDS) When the display shows Alarm Flow Meter Gr.X this means no pulses are arriving from the volumetric meter corresponding to the activated unit (x). Indeed, after starting up every volumetric dose (EVx + PUMP both in dispensing and in programming mode), the dosage function checks the correct functioning of the volumetric meter by detecting the pulses it has sent to the micro-controller.

8. Routine maintenance • No panel or fixed guard of the appliance body may be removed from the it to carry out the routine maintenance. • Do not use harsh or harmful detergents such as alcohol, petrol or solvents to clean the coffee machine; use water and neutral detergents. Note: Daily cleaning operations must be carried out in order to maintain the efficiency of the appliance and to guar- antee the safety of the user and of people. 8.1 Cleaning the dispensing units and the filter cup Detach the filter cup from the serving unit, remove the coffee grounds and replace the filter present with the blind filter (without holes) provided with the machine.
Open a steam drawing valve to facilitate the draining of the water until the end of the operation. When water no longer comes out of the boiler, close the boiler drain and the steam drawing tap. Fill the coffee machine with water as instructed in the paragraph entitled “Filling the boiler with water”. 9.
The heating elements no longer heat the water in the boiler and it will not be possible to use the appliance correctly. Call the lA SAN MARCO SPA technical service centre for assistance.
