START UP
First Time Start-Up Instrucons
1. Connect the water lines and the drain hose. Turn the water ON. Water will begin to ow into the brew
groups.
2. Ensure the heang element breaker switch is in the OFF posion. Then switch the red electronics On/O
switch to the ON posion. The machine’s auto-ll feature will acvate and the steam tank will begin lling.
3. Bleed the air from the group heads by running each group unl water ows without spuering.
4. When the steam tank has stopped lling, set the heang element breaker to the ON posion. The machine
will begin heang to the set temperatures.

5. To set the pump pressure to 9 bar, 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). Make adjustments while running the shot programs to see the
current pump pressure. Once the desired pressure is reached, reghten the lock nut.
6. 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 be-
fore the steam tank is at an operaonal pressure and will stop at 1.3 bar when the factory set tempera-
ture of 250°F is reached. The factory set temperatures for each brew tank is 203°F. 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 19 and 20. 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 may rise above 11 bar. There is an ex-
pansion valve used to control the maximum pressure achieved. This valve is posioned to bleed into the
drain tray of the machine and is accessible for adjustment from the front of the machine without having to
remove machine panels. The 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 requires 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.
7. Once the steam pressure gauge reads at or above 1.1 bar, you may purge the steam wands. To purge the
steam wands, rst posion the wand p into the drain tray. Acvate the steam wand by pulling the steam
wand handle toward you. Aer allowing steam to escape for several seconds, turn the steam o by returning
the handle to the resng posion.
