SETTING UP THE MACHINE

Note: if the sequence indicated below does not take place, see the chapter entitled "TROUBLESHOOTING".

After having completed the preliminary operations:

1. Make certain that the steam valve (8) is closed.
2. Press the main switch (1) to turn on the unit; the machine automatically feeds water into the boiler (initial time: approximately 3 min), once the water has reached the set level, the units starts heating and the heating light goes on.
   Note: the machine has an electronic level valve so it automatically feeds in water to the boiler as needed to restore the level.
   N.B.: the machine safety system shuts down the machine after the pump has been running steadily for approximately 2 minutes (this prevents the pump from overheating). In this case, turn off the machine by pressing the main switch and then turn it on again.
   While the unit is operating, the ON light (2) and the heating light (7) are both lit.
3. Wait until the heating light (7) goes off, indicating that the water has reached the desired temperature.
4. Note: if the water light (6) goes on, it means that the water reservoir (12) is empty or nearly empty.
5. Note: remember that to obtain a good drink it is best to use the cup warming shelf (14) to keep the cups warm.
6. At this point the machine has been set up and is ready to make coffee or produce steam.

3. Make certain that the spout of the nozzle is within the grill (15).
4. Gradually open the steam knob (8) carefully and keep it open until any drops of hot water that may be inside the nozzle come out and...
5. When only steam comes out of the nozzle, move it with the insulating holder (10a) and insert it into the liquid you want to heat.
6. Use knob 8 to adjust the steam as needed. Keep the nozzle in the liquid while regulating the steam.
7. Once the liquid has been heated, close the steam knob (8) and remove the nozzle from the heated liquid.
8. Use a cloth dipped in hot water to clean any residues of the heated liquid from the steam nozzle spout (21).
