MACHINE OPERATION
1. Install the portalter by inserting it into the group head and
rotate the portalter handle from left to right. The portalter is
inserted properly once it is rmly inside the group head and the
portalter handle is sitting at 90 degrees from the face of the
machine (Fig G).
2. You can now turn the group control paddle to start the water
owing through the portalter.
3. It is important to leave the portalter installed in the group
head when not in use. The portalter must remain heated for a
successful brew process. It will also prevent the head seal inside
the group head from drying out prematurely.
4. Single (with one spout) and double (with two spouts) portalter
handles come ready assembled with single and double baskets

boiler it is recommended that you purge the steam wand after
heating milk. Purge by releasing steam for a few seconds into the
atmosphere.
