Measuring flow rate
Procedure:
1. Fill water tank.
2. Insert pressure plug in capsule inlet.
3. Press down closing handle lightly till
pressure plug fits in capsule cage.
4. Pull off holding device. The pressure plug
clamps itself to the capsule cage.
5. Position measuring beaker underneath
exit tube of pressure plug.
6. Switch on machine.
7. Press button "large cup" after heating-up.
8. Open valve fully till water begins to flow.
9. Close valve until 12 bar are indicated.
)The manometer must be observed
continuously and the pressure
regulated using the valve if
necessary. With increasing
temperature the pressure also
increases, if necessary readjust the
pressure to 12 bar.
10. Perform measurement for approx. 30 sec.
11. There must be at least 60-120 ml water in
the measuring beaker.
Notice:
- With a flow of < 60 ml the pump is defective
or there is a leak in the system.
- Large fluctuations in the pressure gauge
readings (± 4 bar) during measurement are
indicative of a defective pump.

4. Pull off holding device. The pressure plug
clamps itself to the capsule cage.
5. Position pot underneath exit tube of
pressure plug.
6. Fill water tank.
7. Connect mains cable.
Dangerous voltage inside coffee

Checking for leaks and pump
pressure (2)
Procedure (continued):
8. Switch on machine.
9. Press button "large cup" after heating-up.
10. Open valve and leave water to run out for
approx. 10 s.
11. Fully close valve. The pressure will rise
rapidly initially and stabilise between
16 - 19 bar (check of pump pressure).
)The pressure will rise slowly due to
the temperature increase.
If the pressure exceeds 23 bar, the
machine has to be switched off and
pressure released through the
pressure valve.
12. Perform visual and acoustic checks on all
pressurized connections.
The pump must not be in operation
for longer than 50 s without water
flow.
13. Switch off machine.
14. Open valve to empty pressure gauge.
