Pressure Switch/Pump Adjustment
To modify boiler working pressure (and
therefore, temperature), to meet diff e r e n t
requirements and the characteristics of the
c o ffee being used, it is sufficient to raise
the work top and turn the pressure switch
adjustment screw (Fig. 8, no. 1). Pressure
is increased by turning the screw in an
anticlockwise direction, (recommended
value: 1 bar).
Pump pressure is displayed on the lower
part of the pressure gauge (Figs. 1-2, no.
5). It is possible to vary pressure by turning
the pump adjustment screw (Fig. 9, no. 1).
Pressure is increased by turning the screw
in a clockwise direction (recommended
value: 9 bars).
Note: pump pressure is indicated on gauge
only when pump is running.
Using Steam
To use the steam it is sufficient to pull or
push the special lever (Figs. 1-2 no. 8-11).
By pulling the lever all the way it will remain
locked in the position for maximum steam
delivery; while pushing the lever will cause
it to return automatically into place. The two
steam tubes are articulated to make them
easier to use.
Preparing Cappuccino
First release steam from wand to prepare
machine for 1-2 seconds.
To obtain the typical frothy milk, immerse
the steam nozzle to the bottom of a 3/4 full
container (preferably with a cut-off cone
shape). Release the steam and when the
milk has boiled, lower the container. Using
small, vertical movements, bring the steam
nozzle into contact with the surface of the
milk. At the end of this operation, always
clean the steam tube using a soft cloth.
Display Functions
Please Note: the Program Vip Plus Model is
equipped with a system of machine keys for
staff (nos. 1-14) and for management U
(no. 15). For this reason, different keys cor -
respond to different functions (see the fol -
lowing sections).
