Steam Wetness or Steam Pump Rate

Advanced Programming Options (continued)

The steam pump rate of this espresso machine has been pre-set. Modifying the steam pump rate enables you to make the steam wetter or dryer and aids in the delivery of a powerful, dry steam – ideal for texturing milk. The steam pump rate can be modified in flow rate increments up or down should it be desired.

To do this you need to follow the instructions below:

1.Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC power outlet and switch the power ‘ON’ at the mains only, so that no lights are illuminated on the espresso machine control panel (ie. the power outlet should be 'ON' but the espresso machine will be 'OFF').

2.Press and hold down the ‘HOT WATER’ button for 3 seconds.

3.While still holding down the ‘HOT WATER’ button briefly press the ‘POWER’ button and release.

4.Release the ‘HOT WATER’ button.

Note: This activates the programmability of the steam pump rate and to signal this the machine will output the current setting with a sequence of beeps. See chart below to determine what setting your machine is programmed to.

Beep Sequence	Setting
3 short beeps	+ 3
2 short beeps	+ 2
1 short beep	+ 1
1 short and 1 long beep	Factory Setting
1 long beep	- 1
2 long beeps	- 2
3 long beeps	- 3

Note: The lights behind the 'COFFEE' and 'STEAM' buttons will start flashing.

Down (-) Up (+)

5.Within 30 seconds press and release one of the flashing buttons depending on the required flow rate adjustment;

Up (+) a setting : Press 'STEAM'

Down (-) a setting : Press 'COFFEE'

Note: When you have selected a new pump rate setting the machine will sound a sequence of beeps to indicate the new pump rate setting.

6.To save your settings press and hold down the 'HOT WATER' button for 3 seconds. A single long beep will sound to indicate your settings have been saved.

Note: The espresso machine will then automatically power on and begin heating up.

Note: The machine will stay in programming mode for up to 30 seconds. If you do not select a new pump rate setting within 30 seconds the program will automatically return to the Factory Setting and the espresso machine will then power on and begin heating up.
