1-13 Use softened water to make coffee or tea. Well / municipal water should be softened to prevent scaling in the boiler, which will shorten the serviceable life of your machine. If a hard water source is used, the filter should be replaced every two weeks -- although long-life filters may remain serviceable up to eight weeks. Actual filter replacement scheduling will vary based on volume and quality of water used.
1-14 The machine refills water automatically (see Section 4-2 for initializing). An error code will appear if water flow into the machine exceeds two minutes (see Troubleshooting Section in this manual), and power will be cut off automatically to protect the system. To resume normal functions, restart the system after three or more seconds.
1-15 The heating element will not operate when water in the machine is less than the minimum required level. When starting the machine without any water in the tank, heating will be delayed for about 60 seconds.
1-16 Please ensure the water inside the piping will not be frozen while using the machine. The water temperature must maintain over the freezing point even during the power off period. The warranty does not cover any damages on piping and boiler cost by frozen water.
1-17 When turning off the machine for long-term, please be sure to evacuate the water inside the piping completely. For this may freeze the water and lead to damaging the machine. To ensure the safety of your machine, please notify your service representative regarding any needs on operations in frigid zone or prepare to shut down the machine for long-term for complete water evacuation.
2.Operating Precautions
Do not use the machine and turn off the power when water intake has ceased.
When operating the machine for the first time or replacing the filter, remove the water inlet tube and allow it to drain for about one minute in order to discharge impurities from the water.
Please check and confirm normal water supply before turning on power.
Please check and confirm water level registers within the green zone. Operating the machine outside the green zone may cause the electric heating element to overheat and burn out.
After installing the machine, please check to make sure that, during water intake, the steam pressure gauge indicator is within the green zone (1~1.4bar) and the water pressure gauge indicator is also within the green zone (8~10bar). Please adjust the system to the water supply pressure conditions in your area.
The water and steam taps are used to make coffee or tea. The nozzle at the hot water outlet and the steam outlet are very hot -- please do not touch.
