The instructions given below should be followed to regenerate the softener:
1) Put a container with a capacity of at least 2 litres under pipe E. Move levers C and D from left to right.
2) Remove the lid by unscrewing knob G and put salt (normal kitchen salt) into the softener (fig. 4): 1 kg. for the 8-litre softener and 2 kg. for the
12-litre softener. Then refit lid and move tap lever C from right to left (fig. 5) so that the salty water can flow through pipe F. When the water
is pure, reset lever D from right to left (fig. 6).
Important:
Regeneration must be done every 15 days for a daily coffee consumption of betwee 1 and 2 kg. If consumption is greater than this, regeneration
should be done every 7 days.
Attention:
It is very important to regenerate the softener. Failure to regenerate the resins in the softener causes calcification in the boiler, the solenoid
valves and the hydraulic circuit. These deposits have a negative influence on the machine's performance and reliability and can even cause
serious damage, which will lead to the intervention of the assistance service for cleaning the boiler. This type of intervention is not covered by
guarantee and therefore the relative costs are the responsibility of the owner of the machine.

Identifying problems :
- Always ensure that there is enough ground coffee for at least one dose in the grinder-doser's reservoir.
- In the coffee drops too slowly then grinding is probably too fine. Vice-versa, if it drops too fast, the grinding is too coarse.
- Remember that the machine's operating process forces the water over the coffee at high pressure. If contact between the water and the
ground coffee lasts more than 20/30 seconds, the coffee will taste unpleasant and bitter. This effect is called over-extraction.
- Always heat the cup by rinsing it in hot water. If the cup is cold, the abrupt temperature change of the espresso coffee will change its taste.
- Never load the filter holder without making an immediate delivery; the ground coffee would "burn" in the group and the espresso obtained would
be very bitter.
The following maintenance operations must be carried out by specialized personnel authorized by the manufacturer.
Do not perform makeshift or ad-hoc repairs, and never use non-original spare parts.
Attention: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE ELECTRICITY when carrying out maintenance checks or operations.
Problem: The group does not deliver water and the pump is noisy
- Cause 1:
the water mains tap or the softener taps are shut.
Cures:
open the taps
- Cause 2:
the water entry union filter is obstructed.
Cures:
dismantle and clean
Problem: The group does not deliver water
- Cause 1:
