4
Insert the plug into the wall socket. Turn the power switch to "1". The machine is now on.
5
The green signal lamp lights up.
6
The pump will fill the boiler of the machine with fresh water.
7
As soon as the boiler is filled, there will be no more pump noise; the orange signal lamp is now on. As soon as
the fresh water sinks down to a certain level in the fresh water tank, the machine switches off and the light of the
orange signal lamp goes off. Refill with fresh water and the machine will restart and heat up automatically.
8
A large amount of water is required for the first filling of the boiler, so the water tank will have to be refilled with
fresh water.
9
Wait until the boiler pressure gauge indicates approx. 1.0-1.25 bar.
10 A manual "boiler ventilation" is not necessary because the MECHANIKA /TECHNIKA is equipped with a
professional depression valve that ventilates the boiler during the heating-up phase.
11 Move the group lever into the upper position and dispense approx. 250 ml of water. This way, the heat exchanger
will be filled with water and the circulation of the water in the thermosyphon system begins.
12 Move the group lever into the lower position. Refill the water tank.
13 The machine is now ready for use. Put the cups on the cup heater tray in order to preheat them and enjoy your
coffee.
Machine in use with direct water connection
1

The machine is now ready for use. Put the cups on the cup heater tray in order to preheat them and enjoy your
coffee.
The MECHANIKA/TECHNIKA has a fuse to prevent the machine from overfilling.
It is possible that the machine does not heat up when using it for the first time or when dispensing
large quantities of water through the hot water valve. In this case please switch the machine off and
on again.

USE OF THE MACHINE
6.1 Preparation of the machine
The switched off machine is to be placed into operation as follows:
Water tank machine or machine in use with water tank
1
Fill water into the water tank.
2
Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
3
Turn the machine on (power switch in position "1").
4
Wait until the pressure gauge indicates approx. 1.0-1.25 bar.
5
Depending on the ambient temperature, the heat-up phase is approx. 15 minutes.
6
The machine is now ready for use.
7
Insert the portafilter and move the brew group lever into the upper position. Release some hot water. Thus, the
portafilter will be completely heated.
Machine in use with direct water connection
1
Make sure that there is enough pressure in the direct water supply connection.
2
Turn the machine on (power switch in position "1").
3
Wait until the pressure gauge indicates approx. 1.0-1.25 bar.
4
Depending on the ambient temperature, the heat-up phase is approx. 15 minutes.
