GENERAL INSTRUCTIONSInstructions for installingthe “PREMIER”Make sure nothing is missing in thepacking. Position the machine in the placeprovided, make sure it is leveled and adjustthe feet if necessary.Place the water softener in the space provided.Remember that in all the PREMIERmodels the pump is built into the machineand this simplifies hook-up operations considerably.Before hooking up the water to themachine, let the water run from thewater softener to eliminate impuritiesand greasy deposits.Then connect the water and electricity asshown in Fig. 3.Make sure there are no narrowings in thepiping and that drainage is efficient. If theelectric wire supplied is not sufficient, useone with the same cross section and makesure the system is equipped with efficientearthing and connect it to the machineusing the yellow-green wire.THE MACHINE MUST ALWAYS BE PRO-TECTED WITH AN ADEQUATELY POWE-RED AUTOMATIC SWITCH.The Company shall not be liable for anydamage to persons or things because offailure to observe safety standards.For proper operation, the machine requiresa water pressure not higher than 4 bar. Ifhigher, install a pressure reducer upstreamof the softener.The water inlet pipe must have an internaldiameter of not less than 8 mm.N.B.: Before conneting the machine to the18electric main check that the machine voltageand the net voltage are compatible (Figs.12-13-14), if not, modify as necessary.Setting up the machinefor operationBefore supplying electricity to the machine,make sure the water level is sufficient in theboiler by checking the height in the glasssight level (No. 2 - Figs. 1-2).Even though all the machines are equippedwith an automatic level system, during theinitial phase it is a good rule to fill the boilermanually to prevent any possible damageto the heating element and to make surethe electronic protection device (in modelPREMIER/V only) doesn't switch on whichstops the machine if the automatic level isconnected for more than 60 seconds.Should this happen, simply switch themachine off and on so it can start up againnormally.To fill manually the boiler. Pull torward thevalve to fill manually the boiler, as for pictures1-2 n. 7.At this point the machine cam be turned onby working the general switch (No. 1 - Figs.1-2) and the pilot lamp will light up.During the heating phase, always leave thesteam tap open to normalize the pressureinside the boiler and to keep the liquid to beheated from being sucked into the boiler.After being on for about 20 minutes, themachine reaches working pressure. Thiscan be read on the two-scale pressuregauge (No. 3 - Figs. 1-2).To change the working pressure (and consequentlythe temperature) according to thevarious requests or the characteristics ofthe coffee used, simply raise the top andwork the pressure-switch screw (No. 7 Fig.4), turning it clockwise to lower the pressureand counter clockwise to raise it (normallythe standard rested machine is set at about1.1 -1.2 bar).The pump is adjusted during testing to aworking pressure of 9 atm. This pressure isshown on the pressure gauge (No. 3 - Figs.1-2, lower sector) during the delivery phase.Whenever the pressure has to be changed,raise the top as for the other adjustmentsand turn the pumping element screw (No. 6- Fig. 5) as necessary to reach the desiredpump motor pressure. Should the desiderresult not be achieved even when turningthe adjustment screw all the way, the pumpingelement must be replaced.For a new one, contact the nearest authorizedservice centre.To use the steamand the hot waterTo use the steam and the hot water simplypull forward the appropriate levers (No. 4,Fig. 1) which are in an extremely practicaland accessible position.These levers make it possible to regulate thesteam and the water from the various nozzlesgradually and can also stop the steamwhen steam pressure is at a maximum.The steam nozzles can be moved in theusual manner.To froth the milk during heating, push thesteam nozzle to the bottom of the container(preferably a conical container) for 3-4seconds. When the milk begins to heat

move the steam nozzle to the surface,skimming the milk with short vertical movementsin order to obtain the creamy texturedesired.Remember to clean the steam nozzle thoroughlywith a damp cloth afther each operation.N . B . The Premier 3 groups version isequipped with:- two steam pipes (No. 5 - Pict. 2);- one hot water pipe (No. 6 - Pict. 2).Steam can be obtained by acting on lever(No. 4 - Pict. 2), hot water can be obtainedby acting on lever (No. 13 - Pict. 2).Preparation of espresso coffee1) Unhook the filter holder from the unit andadd one or two measures of coffee dependingon the filter used press down the coffeewith the tool provided and before connectingthe filter holder to the unit, with thepalm of your hand clean the filter ring toremove any excess coffee which in the longterm could interfere with the perfect sealbetween the unit and the filter holder.2) In the PREMIER/S version press the coffeedelivery switch and when the desireddose is obtained, press it again.In the PREMlER/V-version, to have the coffee,press the pushbutton relative to thedesired dose as shown on diagram:There are 4 measure possibilities: 1 normalcoffee, 2 normal coffees, 1 long coffee, 2long coffees. These 4 possibilities for eachunit can naturally be preset during thenstallation phase by programming theamount of coffee for each single cup andfor each unit as needed. To programmethese amounts, proceed as follows: Pressthe key of the unit in which thedoses are to be programmed and then,without releasing the STOP, presskey for the same unit.Entrance into the programming state issignalled by the flashing of theLEDand the LEDS fo the doses on the pushbuttonpanel of the unit used.Now press the key for pouring one measure.Only the LED for the programmed dose willremain on. When the coffee has reachedthe desired level in the cup, pressand the dose will be memorized in a protectedmemory zone.At this point the LEDs will start flashingagain to the exclusion of the LED for thedose that has just been programmed.Proceed similarly for the other doses of theunit and to return to working condition,presstwice consecutively.In addition to the 4 measure possibilities, itis also possible in any case to stop pouringat any time by pressing the , buttonor to continue pouring by pressing thebutton.Pouring of the preset dose is completed inany case independently of the fineness ofthe grind since the amount of coffee and notthe pouring time is measured electronically.3) After pouring the coffee and even ifanother is not to be poured immediately,leave the filter holder hooked to the unit soit remains warm. The delivery units arethermocompensated with total circulation ofhot water so the units remain at constanttemperature in every working condition.General cleaning instructionsThe machine should be cleaned very thoroughlyin order to maintain its maximalperformance.All the steel and chromed parts includingthe steam and hot water nozzles should becleaned with a damp cloth.The stainless shower inside the groupshould be disassembled every week andcleaned carefully so that all the holes areperfectly free. To do this, simply uncrew thecentral screw of the group with a normalscrewdriver.To clean the groupwith the blind filterReplace the normal filter in the filter-holderwith the blind filter provided, place 2 teaspoonsof detergent in the filter, reconnectthe filter-holder to the group and push thedistribution push-button. After approx. 30seconds stop distribution and repeat thisoperation three times.Finally, replace the normal filter and make acoffee which is to be thrown away in orderto remove all remaining soap residues.To clean the filtersand filter-holdersPlace 2 teaspoons of specific detergent inhalf a litre of boiling water and leave the filtersand filter-holders to soak for approx,half an hour.19

Rinse thoroughly under running water.Remember to use glass or stainless steelcontainers and keep the handles of the filter-holdersout of the soapy liquid.RegenerationIn order to prevent the formation of limedeposits inside the boiler and the heatexchangers, the water softener shouldalways be perfectly efficient. The cationicresins should therefore be regularly regeneratedat the established dates.The regenerating times depend on thequantity of coffee distributed daily and thehardness of the water in the area.The following graph gives an approximateindication of regeneration times for the typeD/8 softener for machines with up to 2groups and type D/12 for machines with 3or 4 groups.to the left (Fig. 10C) - allow the salt water todrain from the pipe F until fresh water isrunning (1/2 hour), taste to be sure.
