the same time the lights from (14) to (21) turn on steadily for about a second
(indicating power on test mode).
3) The light corresponding to the set temperature starts flashing to indicate that the group
is heating and the automatic boiler refill starts until the water level preset by the
manufacturer is reached.

that the boiler is heating. However, after first switching on, the boiler doesn't work until
the group has reached the set temperature.
5) Fasten the portafilter handle (11) to the brewing group (10).
6) Wait until the set temperature is reached, by checking that the lights on the control
panel (9) gradually turn on as the temperature rises. The visualization starts as soon

machine has reached its operating temperature (light from flashing to fixed).
7) When the group has reached the set temperature, the boiler heating starts (BOILER
light (13) flashing), once it reaches the set temperature the light becomes fixed.

the respective light starts flashing (heating phase) until the set temperature is reached.
