Normal Operation, Continued
Pump
The machine is equipped with a 52W vibratory pump. Vibratory pumps can be loud
by nature and their tone may change during the course of a shot which is normal.
The pump (brew) pressure is regulated by the expansion valve. To learn how to set
the pump pressure please refer to the maintenance section*of*the*owner’s*manual.
The pump is equipped with a klixon thermal fuse. Should the pump run for an
extended period of time the klixon will kill power to the pump until it has cooled off.
Water Reservoir
The water reservoir can be accessed by opening the hinged reservoir door on the
top of the machine. It is recommended that the reservoir be removed prior to filling to
prevent the spilling of water inside the machine which can cause damage to
sensitive electrical components. Should water accidently get spilled inside the
machine then immediately turn the power switch to the off position and unplug the
machine from the electrical outlet. Do not plug the machine back in until it has had at
least 1 full day to dry out. If it does not operate after that time then unplug the
machine*and*refer*to*the*troubleshooting*section*of*the*owner’s*manual.
The reservoir must be installed properly for the machine to function. The float inside
the reservoir must be on the left side of the machine. Also be sure the reservoir is
seated as far down as possible and the silicone hoses are not pushing the float
down or the heater will not function.
The machine is equipped with a float in the water reservoir to detect the water level.
When the water level gets low the heating light will go out and the heater and pump
will no longer function until the reservoir has been refilled with water.
The reservoir should be cleaned at least once a week with mild dish detergent and
rinsed thoroughly before use. DO NOT PUT IN DISHWASHER!!!
