1. SAFETY AND WARNING 

 

We, at 

BRASILIA

, are committed to manufacturing safe operating and serviceable equipment. The many built-in safety 

features that are part of all BRASILIA equipment are aimed at protecting operators and trained service technicians alike. 

 
• 

DO NOT 

operate machine without reading all information given in this manual. Failure to follow this instruction may result in equip-

ment damage, poor machine performance, health hazards, or personal injury. The manual is intended for the machine’s installer and/or 
maintenance technician and for the machine's user.  
In case of dismay or for further information, contact the local retailer or the manufacturer.  This manual reflects the state of the art at the 
current time and cannot be considered inadequate merely because it is updated later on the basis of new developments. The manufac-
turer also reserves the right to modify the manual without the duty of updating earlier issues, except in exceptional cases. 
The pictures, in this manual, are just explanatory and they could not reflect the aesthetics of all models described. 
• 

DO NOT 

operate the machine without complying with all local the safety regulations in force in your country of installation as well as 

all the rules dictated by common sense, and ensure that routine maintenance is carried out regularly and correctly. 
• 

DO NOT 

operate machine unless it is properly grounded. Failure to follow this instruction may result in electrocution. 

• 

DO NOT 

replace or remove safety instructions and technical data for proper and safe installation and operation, as affixed to ma-

chine. 

• DO NOT 

touch the groups, the coffee spouts or the water/steam pipes during the operation of machine (pipes must be handle only 

through special hand-grip); the liquids/steam delivered and the machine parts are very hot and could cause burns.  
• 

DO NOT 

touch the keys during brewing cycle.  

• 

DO NOT 

try to remove any mechanical parts from machine and NOT perform arbitrary modifications. Contact your local authorized 

service agent/technician. 
• 

DO NOT 

pull electric power cord to disconnect machine from the wall socket. 

• 

DO NOT 

allow machine to be used by children or incapable persons.  

• 

DO NOT 

expose machine to outdoor environment (sun, rain, snow, etc.). 

• 

DO NOT 

operate machine unless all service panels and access door are closed.

 

• DO NOT 

insert spoons, forks or any other utensil into the machine if it is switched on. 

• 

DO NOT 

operate machine without water supply. 

• 

DO NOT 

obstruct any air intake or exhaust openings: 4” (10 cm) minimum air space behind the machine and 2” (5 cm) space on ei-

ther side. 
• 

DO

 use

 

only ground coffee or coffee pods for models with special filter-holder. 

• 

DO

 use

 

only filtered and treated fresh water, or pure drinking water (Hardness approx. 7 french degrees). 

• 

DO

 use only original BRASILIA spare parts. Failure to follow this instruction will render any warranty, expressed or implied, or guaran-

tees by manufacturer or authorized service agent ass NULL and VOID. 
• Always

 PERFORM

 recommended daily and cleaning operations. 

 
• CLEANING: 
- DO NOT use water sprayers or pressurized water jets to clean machine. 

DO NOT 

use detergents containing perfumes, alcohol or ammonia either directly or indirectly (damp cloth) to clean machine. 

- USE

 only disinfecting detergents suitable for crockery. 

- Chemical-based detergents used for cleaning machine and/or the system should be used with care so as not to deteriorate any com-
ponents or cause damage to environment when discarded. 

CAUTION:

 Improper maintenance and cleaning, use of unfiltered water, or damage to internal parts may cause possible blockages in 

water flow leading to unexpected jets of hot liquid or steam. This may cause serious injury. Use CAUTION while washing and servicing 
machine! 

 
• SANITATIONS: 

Coffee and its ingredients (sugar, milk, etc.) are sensitive products and therefore the following basic hygiene processes need to be con-
sidered. The following are factors which can affect finished product quality served to the customer: 
• Wash hands past elbows. Periodically wash it also throughout the day. 
• Wear rubber gloves if cuts or skin conditions exist. 
• Clean all parts and components thoroughly. 
• Use approved sanitizing tablets.  
• Store sanitizer in a cool, dry place. Use in accordance to instructions. 
• Allow employee uninterrupted time to complete the cleaning procedure. 
• Do not neglect daily cleaning procedures: follow "CLEANING" instructions in the User Manual. 
• Rotate stock to use older date product first (FIFO). Observe product expiry date. Product must never be stacked outside or under di-
rect sunlight. Check the indications on the confection.  

 
• ADVISE FOR INSTALLER AND MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN: 
• BRASILIA S.p.A.

 and maintenance technician decline every responsibility in the following cases:  

  if the machine is used for any other than its intended purposes, as described in this manual. 
  if the recommended maintenance and cleaning procedures are NOT performed. 
  if original BRASILIA spare parts are not used.

 

  if the INSTALLER, or MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN, it is NOT authorized and specialized. 
  if, despite the INSTALLER has obviously taken every possible precaution to guarantee user safety, the different installation 

and/or transport conditions could give rise to uncontrollable or unpredictable situations.  

• Authorized service agent

 (installer or maintenance technician) must inform original manufacturer of POSSIBLE FAULT or wear 

which may affect the machine system’s original safety. 

• The appliance must be installed in a place where only authorized personnel could perform its use and maintenance.

 

• Check 

the condition of the components and, should defects or faults arise, 

stop the installation 

and ask for their replacement.

REV.4  01/2007

 

 
• 

Regularly perform the

 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

.

 

The 

ENVIRONMENT TEMPERATURE 

while performing maintenance op-

erations must be at least 5°C and not over 30°C. 

• Check that the shelf, on which the machine will come located, is not tilted. 
• Place the machine on a shelf high enough to allow the cup warmer to be located at least at 150 cm. over the floor.

 

• Aerial noise: in the machine operating place the loudness level does not normally overcome 70 dB.

 

• 

Do not install the machine in places where jets of water are normally used.

 

• If the machine is NOT used for a long time, disconnect the cable to the mains line switch and close the water mains tap. 

 
• ADVICES OF USE: 

- Always use heated cups: if this 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 ob-
tained would be very bitter.  
- Clean regularly the dosing grinder and check the wear of the grindstones. 
- The machine’s operating process forces the water over the coffee at high pressure. If contact between the water and the ground cof-
fee lasts more than 20/30 seconds, the coffee will taste unpleasant and bitter. This effect is called over-extraction. 
- Ground coffee dose, for ONE espresso, between 6 and 7 g. inclusive. 
- Checking the wear of the dosing grinder’s grindstones.

2.A. ROMA INTERNAL COMPONENTS 

 
• Boiler: 

Is used to contain the hot water and steam and is made of copper so that its properties do not deteriorate over the years. 

• Brewing group and heat exchanger: 

- The brewing group is the component which, when attached to the filter holder (containing the filter and the ground coffee), brews and 
delivers the beverages when supplied with hot water. 
- The heat exchangers, one for each group, are immersed in the water and are used for fast heating of the fresh water from the network 
to the optimal temperature and to prevent thermal imbalances within the system. 

• Heat source: 

This is normally provided by an electric heating element immersed in the boiler and/or by an external gas burner, which 

heat the water and provide the steam. 

• Rotary pump: 

This device is used to raise the pressure of the network, which is normally inadequate for the purpose, to a pressure of 

0,9 MPa (9 BAR) which is ideal for making the best coffee. 

• Steam tap: 

It allows steam to be delivered to give the indispensable “froth” to the milk used for preparing cappuccino, for heating wa-

ter and punches and for preparing chocolate drinks. 

• Water tap: 

It allows water to be delivered for preparing hot drinks, tea and tisanes. 

• Milk frothing device (Optional): 

This device is used to "froth" the milk to prepare cappuccino 

• Control instruments:

 

- Manometers: show the current pressure in the boiler and the pump’s operating pressure. 
- Pressure switches: control the pressure and the switching on of the heat sources to keep the boiler water temperature constant. 
- Level gauge: shows the water level in the boiler. 
- Thermostats: allow the temperature adjusting. 
- Warning lights: show the boiler filling and the switching on of the heat sources.

4. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

 

 

4.A. HOW TO REMOVE THE MACHINE FROM THE PACKAGE 

 

1 - Check possible damages to the package. IMMEDIATELY inform the transport agent of any possible damage. 
2 - Pull open upper flaps of box. Fold flaps out and downward. 
3 - Pull back cellophane wrapper. Lift machine from inside of box taking it FROM ITS BASE. 
Take out accessories: manuals and equipments. 
4 - Packing materials (cardboard, cellophane, metal staples, etc.) may cut or cause injury if not handled carefully or if used incorrectly; 
do not leave packaging materials accessible to children or incapable persons. Do not dispose of packing materials in the environment. 
5 - Place machine in final location and check that: 
a) the support cabinet is strong and stable enough, on account of the machine weight and check that is NOT tilted. 
b) there are 4” (10 cm) minimum air space behind the machine and 2” (5 cm) space on either side. 
6 - The water main outlet must be fitted with a siphon. 

 
 

4.B. GENERAL INFORMATION ON CONNECTIONS

 

 
HYDRAULIC:

 

Perform the hydraulic connections as shown in the picture above, taking care to comply with the hydraulic regulations in force in the 
country of installation. 
Before installing the machine it is advisable to check the efficiency of the water mains, 

the water mains pressure (max: 0,3 MPa - 3 

BAR), 

the efficiency of the electrical connections and of the gas mains (for gas-heated machines). 

• The water for coffee delivery comes directly from the water mains and is heated in the heat exchangers by the heat of the water con-
tained in the boiler. 
• Water supply must be filtered/treated water (~7 french degrees).

 

• Water inlet and drain:  
   Roma and Roma Plus 

 Inlet: 3/8F connector, Ø10/12mm pipe – Drain: Ø16/17mm pipe. 

   Roma Cappuccino 

 Inlet: 3/8F connector, Ø10/12mm pipe or water reservoir (manual filling) – Drain: Ø6/4mm pipe. 

 

ELECTRIC AND ELECTRONIC:

 

• In the machine there are two power circuits: 
- for operating electrical components (solenoid valves, pump, electronic control modules). 
- for operating boilers heating elements. 

 
• The main switch of Roma and Roma Plus

: the machine is fitted with a three-position 

power switch. 
Position OFF: no power supply to the internal components 
Position ON: power supply to the operational electric components 
Position            : power supply to the operational electric components and to the boiler 
heating element 

Position 1 of the main switch should also be used when the boiler is heated only 
using gas.

 

 

• The main switch of Roma Cappuccino

: the machine is fitted with a three-position 

power switch. 
Position 0: no power supply to the internal components 
Position 1: power supply to the operational electric components 
Position 2: power supply to the operational electric components and to the boiler heating 
element 
 
 

Notes: 

 

• The machine is equipped with electric power cord and 

WITHOUT PLUG

. If necessary, the 

PLUG 

will be installed, by the service 

agent, agreeing with rules of country in which machine will be installed. 

• 

If the 

SUPPLY CABLE is damaged

, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or authorized and specialized installer/maintenance, to 

prevent all risks. Failure to follow this instruction may result in equipment damage, poor machine performance, or electrocution. 

See CONNECTIONS diagrams in the SECTION “C” - Electric and water pressure system diagrams.

• Connect the softener to the tap (n. 9 fig.1) using the pipe "11" (IN). Connect the pipe "13" (OUT) to the softener and insert the oppo-
site extremity of pipe in a reservoir. Open the tap "9" and run the water through for a few minutes to clean the softener (cleaning of res-
ins). Close the tap and connect the pipe "13" to the water inlet connector (n. 5).  

2 - 

Connect the pipe "7" to the drain tray (n.6) and to the water main drain (n.8). 

3 -

 Check the efficiency of the main drain pipe (mandatory fitted with a siphon). 

 

4.D. ELECTRIC CONNECTION 

 
1 -

 Use only grounded electrical connection,

 

complying 

with local electrical and building code requirement, and 
safety laws conforming to your country of installation. 
The Installer/Manufacturer accepts NO responsibility for 
accidents due to non-compliance with local safety and 
building code regulations. 

2 - 

Ensure supply voltage is correct

 

(see rating plate on 

back of machine). 

3 -

 

DO NOT

 use extensions/extension cord or fly-over 

connections for machine installation. The working envi-
ronment may be exposed to water and dampness which 
may affect insulation of system. 

4 -

 Check security of power cord; it must be secure from 

physical damage. 

5 - 

Connect power cord (n.3) to the mains line switch 

(n.2).  

Note:

 The customer must provide for the machine’s 

power supply, 

protecting the line 

with a suitable safety 

cut-out (life-saver).

4.D.1. EQUIPOTENTIAL CONNECTION: 

 
An omnipolar switch with a contacts opening distance of 3 mm. or more and a 
protection device against the electric leakage with value 30mA are needed for the 
machine to be properly connected.

 

 
SOME REGULATIONS require this kind of connection, which avoids level differences of 
electrical potential between the grounds of the various devices installed in the same 
place. 
It’s composed by a terminal located on the frame, under the drain tray, in order to be 
connected with an external equipotential conductor. 
At the end of the machine installation it is NECESSARY

 

to perform this connection with 

a conductor rated for the regulations requirements.

5. OPERATING PROCEDURES 

 

OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS: 
• BOILER PRESSURE:

  

- Roma and Roma Plus: around 0,09/0,1 MPa (0,9/1,1 BAR) (see manometer on frontal panel). 
- Roma Cappuccino: around 0,14 MPa (1,4 BAR) (see manometer on frontal panel). 

The boiler pressure can be regulated acting on the pressure switch (see § "ADJUSTMENTS"). 

• DELIVERY PRESSURE:

 around 0,9 MPa 

(9 BAR)

 (see manometer on frontal panel). 

The delivery pressure can be regulated by using the screw located on the pump bypass (see § "ADJUSTMENTS"). 

• SAFETY VALVE OPENING PRESSURE: 

around 0,16 MPa 

(1,6 BAR)

• EXPANSION VALVE OPENING PRESSURE (Valves Group):  

 

- Roma and Roma Plus: 
  1° expansion valve: ca. 1,05 MPa (10,5 BAR) 
  2° expansion valve: ca. 1,1 MPa (11 BAR) (coffee circuit) 

 

- Roma Cappuccino: ca. 1,25 MPa (12,5 BAR) 

The opening pressure can be checked via the apposite filter holder (blind) with the manometer and delivering only water: when the ma-
nometer needle stops, the valve will start to drip. 

• COFFEE DELIVERY TEMPERATURE: 82/97°C

 

The temperature depends on the type of blend used; it can be checked with a precision thermometer during delivery. The pressure 
switch’s screw can be used for minor adjustments (see § "ADJUSTMENTS"). 

 
 

5.A. START UP 

 

ROMA AND ROMA PLUS: 

• Check that water mains tap is open and turn the switch knob (4) to position ON. 
• If the machine is fitted with water level control, the boiler will be filled automatically (green warning light turns off when filling is com-
pleted). 
  If, however, the machine does not have a water level control, filling with water must be done manually pushing “14” button, checking 
the water level in the boiler on the graduated visual level gauge which is provided with “minimum” and “maximum” references. Add wa-
ter when the level gauge approaches the “minimum” mark. 
• When the water in the boiler reaches the right level (“MAX” - see frontal panel, for ROMA model), set the main switch knob on the 
heating element symbol to switch it on. Check the boiler pressure. 
• Wait until the machine reaches working pressure (red indicator light near the switch turns off); open the steam tap for a few seconds 
and then close it again or press the steam button on the control holder band. 
• Perform a coffee delivery and check the delivery pressure. 

 
ROMA CAPPUCCINO: 

• Check that water mains tap is open or, for models with water mains connection, that reservoir contains softened water. 
• Turn the switch knob to position 1.  
• The boiler will be filled automatically; when the buzzer sounds, switch the machine off and on by turning the switch knob to position 1. 
• The boiler flling continues; when green warning light turns off turn the switch knob to position 2. 
• Perform a coffee delivery and check the delivery pressure. 

 
 

5.B. START UP - VERSION WITH GAS SYSTEM 

 
 
GAS SYSTEM WITH MANUAL LIGHTING: 

 
Turn the main switch to position 

and wait until the machine reaches work-

ing pressure (see “Operating procedures” - “Boiler pressure”). To light the 
burner, press the gas push-button (n°1) and keep it pressed and light the 
burner with a match. Release the gas push-button after about 8/10 seconds. 
Use the “minimum flame” (n°2) regulation screw to obtain the required flame 
height (1/1.5 cm. high), turning it clockwise to increase the flame and coun-
terclockwise to reduce it. At this point remove the protection cowl (det. A) af-
ter having slackened the “knurled” nut (det.B); use the regulation screw (det. 
C) until the required pressure is reached (clockwise for an increase in pres-
sure). To increase the gas flow, turn the gas jet ring-nut (det.D) in a clock-
wise direction. Greater combustion (blue flame) may be obtained by increas-
ing the air flow through the slot in the sleeve (det.E). On the other hand 
lesser combustion (red flame) is obtained by reducing the air flow.

8. MAINTENANCE 

 

ALWAYS UNPLUG THE ELECTRICITY when carrying out maintenance checks or operations.

 

 

8.A. BOILER WATER DRAINING - ROMA AND ROMA PLUS MODELS

 

 

Attention: 

For machines with a small capacity boiler (less than 5 litres) it is recommended to 

change the water frequently. Remove one litre of water every day, taking it from the hot water tap. 
 
• Remove drain tray and grate from the machine. 
• Open the tap fixed to the plastic drain tray and wait until the boiler is completely empty.  
• Then close the tap again and reposition tray and grate. 
 
 

 
 

8.B. INSTRUCTIONS FOR REGENERATING THE SOFTENER 

 

ROMA AND ROMA CAPPUCCINO MODELS: 

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 (pict.1): 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 (pict.2) so that the salty water can flow through pipe F. 
When the water is pure, reset lever D from right to left (pict.3). 

Important

Regeneration must be done every 15 days for a daily coffee consumption of between 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 so-
lenoid 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 interven-
tion is not covered by guarantee and therefore the relative costs are the responsibility of the owner of the machine.

9. BEVERAGES DELIVERY DESCRIPTION  

 
ADVICES OF USE: 

- Always use heated cups: if this 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 ob-
tained would be very bitter.  
- The machine’s operating process forces the water over the coffee at high pressure. If contact between the water and the ground cof-
fee lasts more than 20/30 seconds, the coffee will taste unpleasant and bitter. This effect is called over-extraction. 
- Ground coffee dose, for ONE espresso, between 6 and 7 g. inclusive. 
- Checking the wear of the dosing grinder’s grindstones. 
 
 

9.A. COFFEE DELIVERY 

 
1) Remove the filter holder from the group (A) and dispose of the grounds by hitting the edge of the filter holder against the bar in the 
apposite drawer. 
Do not hit the filter holder against an unprotected surface; the filter holder’s seal could be damaged. A smart blow should be enough. 
The small quantity of powder remaining will not have a negative effect on the taste of the coffee.  
2) Fill the filter holder with finely ground coffee, placing the filter holder in the housing provided at the bottom of the grinder-doser and 
pulling the lever once for a single coffee and twice for a double dose. 
Attention: always remember to pull the lever to its full extent; then let it return to its rest position on its own. Always ensure that there is 
enough ground coffee for at least one dose in the grinder-doser’s reservoir. 
3) When the filter holder is filled, press down the ground coffee with the special tamp, pushing the filter holder upwards.  
Clean the edge of the filter holder with the palm of the hand to get rid of excess coffee powder. This will ensure that the seal between 
the filter holder and the machine will be perfect. 
If a filter for mixed use is being utilized, you can put a coffee pod instead of ground coffee in it. 
4) Fit filter holder to the machine group, fixing it and turning it until it is fully in. Do not tighten too much, otherwise it will be difficult to 
remove after delivery. 
5) After having fitted the filter holder properly put a previously heated cup under the spout. Two cups are required if a double filter 
holder is used.

9.B. HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO

 

 

For making a “professional” cappuccino, fresh milk (±4°C) must be “frothed” to give a foam which will be poured over the 
espresso coffee previously delivered. 
1 - Switch the steam on for 1 or 2 seconds to clean away milk residues from the pipe. 
2 - For heating use a metallic jug, or in ceramics, filled at least for half with milk. 
3 - Approach the jug to the steam pipe so as to immerse the spout in the milk for ~ 1-2 cm.; don't put the pipe to the cen-
ter or directly to contact with the jug. 
4 - Push the steam button: when programmed temperature is reached, the steam automatically finishes (to set the tem-
perature, see cap. ADJUSTMENT). 
5 - If manual steam is used, slowly open the steam tap and move the jug in a circular fashion until the milk starts to froth. 
Then quickly close the steam. 
6 - Remove the jug from the pipe and pour the frothed milk over the espresso coffee. 

MODEL WITH MILK FROTHING DEVICE (OPTIONAL)

: introduce the milk aspiring pipe in a pitcher containing fresh milk (max. tem-

perature +4°C), then place a cup with 1 dose of espresso coffee under the milk frothing device: press the relevant switch button and 
wait until the requested quantity of frothed milk has been reached in the cup. Press again switch button to stop delivery and serve bev-
erage. 
 

 

9.C.  STEAM AND WATER DELIVERY 

 
• Open the water/steam tap to start the delivery. 
• Close the tap to stop it. 
 

ROMA PLUS MODEL: 

• To obtain hot water, you have to push relevant key

 "HOT WATER"

 on the touch key pad. 

• The volume is dosed, according to the programmed values, and delivery automatically finishes. 
 
 

Warning: The steam pipes are very hot and should not be touched until they have cooled. 
Handle the pipes only where protected, as indicated by the arrow "A" 

Clean the milk from the pipes as soon as possible to prevent it from drying and becoming difficult to remove. 

Inform the customer as soon as possible that the drink is hot. 
Keep extra frothed milk for the next cappuccino. 
DO NOT warm the same milk but always add COLD milk to the small quantity that remains in the jug. 
 

NOTE: 

The steam temperature is adjusted in accordance with a certain quantitative of milk in the jug. For not obtaining possible tem-

perature variations during the normal employ of the machine, the use of same quantity in a jug is recommends.

 

 

 

10. CLEANING 

 
- DO NOT use water sprayers or pressurized water jets to clean machine. 
- DO NOT use detergents containing perfumes, alcohol or ammonia either directly or indirectly (damp cloth) to clean machine. 
- USE only disinfecting detergents suitable for crockery. 
- Chemical-based detergents used for cleaning machine and/or the system should be used with care so as not to deteriorate any com-
ponents or cause damage to environment when discarded. 
CAUTION: Improper maintenance and cleaning, use of unfiltered water, or damage to internal parts may cause possible blockages in 
water flow leading to unexpected jets of hot liquid or steam. This may cause serious injury. Use CAUTION while washing and servicing 
machine!  
- Constant cleaning of the coffee dosing grinder. 
 

10.A. SANITATIONS 

 
Coffee and its ingredients (sugar, milk, etc.) are sensitive products and therefore the following basic hygiene processes need to be con-
sidered. The following are factors which can affect finished product quality served to the customer: 
• Wash hands past elbows. Periodically wash it also throughout the day. 
• Wear rubber gloves if cuts or skin conditions exist. 
• Clean all parts and components thoroughly. 
• Use approved sanitizing tablets.  
• Store sanitizer in a cool, dry place. Use in accordance to instructions. 
• Allow employee uninterrupted time to complete the cleaning procedure. 
• Do not neglect daily cleaning procedures: follow "CLEANING" instructions in the User Manual. 
• Rotate stock to use older date product first (FIFO). Observe product expiry date. Product must never be stacked outside or under di-
rect sunlight. Check the indications on the confection.

10.B. DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURES 

 

 

Carefully clean the steam pipes

 used for heating beverages immediately after use, so as to avoid the formation of deposits which 

could block the delivery nozzles and also to prevent different types of beverages heated previously from contaminating the taste of the 
beverage being heated. 

 

 

Clean the delivery groups’ sprays, underpan seals and filter holder guides

 with a sponge cloth. 

Rinse the filters

 and filter holders in hot water with the addition of a specific detergent, to dissolve the fatty coffee deposits. 

Fit and remove the filter holder to the group, after having installed the blind filter, and make several deliveries. 
 

 

Drip tray cleaning

: remove the cup support grid, slide out the drain water tray and clean it. Also check and, if necessary, clean the 

plastic drain tank removing possible coffee grounds with the help of a teaspoon. 
 
 

10.C. WEEKLY CLEANING PROCEDURES  

 
In addition to the daily cleaning operations perform the follow-
ing washings: 
 

 

Automatic washing cycle of the groups: 

• Prepare the group as follows: 
1) Unhook the filter holder from the group (part.A pict.1) and 
replace the brewing filter (part.B pict.1) with the blind filter 
(part.C pict.1). 
2) Put the recommended quantity of detergent into the blind fil-
ter (part.D pict.1). 
3) Hook the filter holder into the group (part.E pict.2). 
 
4) To access the cleaning status press the STOP-keys four 
times on all the key pads. 
5) At this stage the machine will begin the cleaning cycle, that 
lasts about 3 minutes. 
The cleaning cycle is split up as follows: 30 seconds running, 5 seconds pause, all repeated 5 
times. 
The whole length of the cleaning is signalized by the blinking of all the green LEDs together 
with the orange one (part.2-3-4-5-6 - see touch key pad picture). 
6) The cleaning cycle can be interrupted by pressing STOP. 
7) At the end of each cleaning cycle, one of the LEDs lights off; when all the LEDs are off, the 
cleaning is done. 
 
• The groups rinsing procedure is similar to the cleaning.  
8) Unhook the filter holders (part.F pict.3) and replace the blind filter (part.G pict.3) with the 
brewing filter (part H pict.3). 
9) Hook the filter holder (part.E pict.2) into the group. 
10) Press the CONT key (part.1); press STOP on all key -pads.
