6. For an MVP Hydra machine, set up the 4 stage pressure ramping by following the instrucons on page 19.
For an MVP machine, adjust the pump pressure by rst shiing the brew group handle momentarily le two
mes while in M mode to acvate the pump/motor. Locate and read the pump pressure on the brew gauge
located to the right of the rightmost group. Then set the pump pressure to 9 bar with the following proce-
dures:
• Locate the pump adjusng screw on the right side of the brass pump housing.
• Loosen the lock nut and turn the screw with a screwdriver:
Clockwise to INCREASE pressure
Counterclockwise to DECREASE pressure
• Once the desired pressure is reached, reghten the lock nut and turn o the group.
7. Please allow at least 30 minutes of “warm up” me before using your Synesso™ espresso machine to brew
shots or steam milk. The steam gauge (the le hand gauge) should read a minimum of 1.1 bar before the
steam tank is at an operaonal pressure. The factory set temperatures are 250°F for the steam tank and
203°F for each brew tank. Temperature readings for the steam and brew tanks are displayed on the handheld
controller. Temperature set points can be adjusted by following the instrucons on pages 40 and 41. Once
the readings are at the set temperature, the machine is fully operaonal and ready for use.
Note: As the brew groups heat, the needle of the brew pressure gauge(s) may rise above 11 bar. There is an
expansion valve used to control the maximum pressure achieved. MVP Hydra machines have a separate ex-
pansion valve and pressure gauge for each group present. MVP machines have one expansion valve for the
enre brew system. Each expansion valve is factory set to bleed o pressure at 11-12 bar. If the needle rises
above 12 bar on the pressure gauge, the expansion valve should be adjusted to bleed o pressure near 11-12
bar so that the maximum pressure reading of the brew gauge cannot exceed 12 bar. The expansion valve re-
quires periodic adjustment throughout the lifeme of the machine to ensure that the pressure in the brew
system is not able to increase above 12 bar.
8. Before brewing your rst espresso shot or using the steam wands, it is a good idea to purge the groups and
the steam wands.
• To purge the groups, shi each group head handle le to acvate the group. Let the group run for several
seconds. Then turn the group o by shiing the handle to the right.
• To purge the steam wands, posion the wand p into the drain tray. Acvate the steam wand by pulling
the steam wand handle toward you. Cauon that the steam expelled as well as the area of the wand at or
near the p can be hot enough to cause burns. Aer allowing steam to escape for several seconds, turn
the steam o by moving the handle away from you into the o posion.
Note: The steam wands should be purged before and aer each use. Failure to purge the wands may
allow the steamed liquid to travel back through the wand and cause steam valve failure and spoiled, scalded
milk avor. These issues are fully preventable by habitually purging the wands, as described above, and keep-
ing the machine up-to-date on preventave maintenance.
