 INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL NOTES
Thoroughly read the instructions contained in this booklet because it gives important information regarding safety for installation, use and maintenance.

Keep this booklet in a safe and accessible place for further consultation.

This machine must be used only for the purpose it was designed:
dispensing coffee, cappuccino, pouring hot water.
Any other use is to be considered inappropriate and therefore dangerous.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage caused by any improper, incorrect and unreasonable use of the machine.

The use of any electric appliance implies the observance of some fundamental rules.
More specifically:
 do not touch the appliance with your hands or feet wet or damp
 do not use the appliance with bare feet
 do not pull the power cord to disconnect the plug from the power socket
 dot not leave the appliance exposed to the weather (rain, sun, frost)
 do not let children or untrained persons use the appliance.

Before carrying out any cleaning and maintenance, disconnect the appliance from the power supply, pulling the plug from the power socket and turning off the
main switch.
In case of failure or malfunction turn the machine off and do not attempt to carry out any repairs or direct operations on the machine.
All repairs must be carried out in an authorised service centre, using original spare parts only.

Failure to comply with the above recommendations will compromise the safety of the machine and the warranty conditions.
If this machine is no longer used we recommend that it is made inoperative by disconnecting the cable from the power supply, and all potentially dangerous
parts are made harmless, especially to protect children who might use the machine for their games.

INSTALLATION NOTES
Installation must be carried out according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
An incorrect installation can cause damage to persons, animals or things; the manufacturer declines all responsibility for such situation.

After unpacking check that the machine is not damaged.

If in doubt, do not use the machine and contact an I.M.C. Spa. Authorised Service Centre.

All packing materials (plastic wrapping, polystyrene, nails, etc.) are potentially dangerous and must be kept out of children’s reach and disposed of in a safe
manner for the environment.

Before connecting the machine to the power supply make sure that the rating information of the machine correspond to that of the power supply: if the power
socket is not compatible with the plug of the machine (if supplied), replace the socket with a proper one, ensuring that the size of the cable is suitable for the
absorbed power of the machine.
Make sure that the voltage rating of the machine corresponds to that of the power supply, and that the power supply is adequate to additional power absorption
of the machine.
After installing the main switch and fuses, connect the power cord of the machine to the main switch according to the attached electrical diagram.

The use of adapters, multiple power boards and extension cords is not recommended.
If it is absolutely necessary, then use only single or multiple adapters and extension cords which comply with current safety regulations, ensuring also that the
electricity load capacity of the single adapters and extension cords and the maximum power rating of the multiple adapters is suitable.

The electrical safety of this machine can be guaranteed only if correctly connected to an efficient earth circuit as indicated by current electrical safety
regulations.
It is necessary to check this fundamental safety prerequisite, and in case of doubt, ask a professionally qualified technician to check the circuit.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused by failure to earth the equipment.

In order to avoid any dangerous overheating, we recommend that the power cord be fully unwound.
In case of damage to the cord, contact exclusively an authorised service centre to have it replaced.
The power cord of this machine must not be replaced by the customer.
Do not leave the machine connected unnecessarily.
Turn off the main switch of the machine when not in use.
Do not cover the ventilation openings of the machine.
Place the machine at an adequate distance from walls, objects, etc.
The machine must be connected to a system with a water pressure which is not greater than 5 bar (Kg/cm2).
If the pressure is greater, a pressure reducer must be installed.
The machine must be connected to a softener.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS TO USE THE MACHINE
Environmental temperature: 5 – 45 °C (empty the hydraulic system in case of freezing)
Maximum humidity: 80% relative humidity
Water hardness: 5° eh, 7° dH, 13° Fh

USE AND MAINTENANCE NOTES

For a correct functioning of the machine it is fundamental to comply with the manufacturer’s instructions, having qualified personnel to carry out special
maintenance and to check all safety devices.
Do not use the machine without water.
Avoid to expose hands or other parts of the body to the coffee dispensing spouts or to the steam or hot water nozzles.
The water and steam from the nozzles is very hot and can cause severe burns.
The water and steam nozzles and the filter holders are very hot and therefore must be handled with care, holding them in the appropriate points.
Do not leave the machine in rooms where the temperature is below 0°C or 32°F without having first drained the boiler and the hydraulic circuit.
Cups and coffee cups must be placed on the cup-warmer tray (if fitted) only after having been fully drained.
Only the crockery related to the machine should be placed on the cup-warmer tray.
Placing any other object on the tray is to be considered incorrect.

Failure to clean machines daily, especially for brewing unit and milk frother (optional), using approved cleaning products and following specified
cleaning procedure will result in void warranty and service contract.

 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS FOR MACHINE CALIBRATION

Only Assistance Service personnel authorised by I.M.C. Spa. are permitted to enable the use of these functions.

1) Calibrating the coffee dispensing pressure ( pump pressure)

To adjust the pump pressure insert the filter holder filled with properly ground, pressed coffee dose.
Press a coffee dose key and read the pressure in the pressure gauge.
N.B. The correct pressure is 8/9 bars.
If the gauge shows an incorrect pressure, remove the drip tray (1) then the front panel (2) and calibrate the pump by turning
the adjustment, clockwise to increase the pump pressure or anticlockwise to reduce pressure.
Once the adjustment is completed, test the pressure calibration by dispensing one or more coffees.

2) Calibrating the steam boiler temperature probe.

The working temperature of the steam boiler ( 117°C/242,60°F – 127°C/260,60°F ) is controlled by a probe, to adjust it
follow the instructions in SYSTEM MANAGER paragraph.

3) Foam setting.

The milk frother is equipped with a FOAM REGULATOR which sets the quantity of air needed for whisking milk.
Turn the ring nut clockwise for thicker foam (small bubbles), or turn it anticlockwise for more voluminous foam
(large bubbles).

Lb.00210.03 Pag. 23 11/01/11

4) Milk temperature setting

The milk frother is equipped with a MILK TEMPERATURE REGULATOR which reduces the quantity of sucked milk.

Turn the ring nut clockwise to increase temperature, or turn it anticlockwise to decrease temperature (see diagram).

5) Preset Machine configuration

With this function, all the set up values, machine counters dose setting and password take the default values set up by
factory.
Before starting the procedure, disconnect the boiler temperature probe. To do that disconnect either the connector CN1 on
master pcb (remove the left hand side panel of the machine), or the temperature probe placed on top of the boiler (remove
the cover of the machine).
To preset the machine switch it OFF by pressing I.G. main switch, then, according to the machine model, keep pressed the
keys by following the schedule and switch the machine ON by pressing the main switch ( I.G.)

 SECURITY AND ALARMS

1) Boiler filling alarm.

Causes: the stage of boiler fillings has exceeded the maximum time of 2 minutes; the level of the probe (SLC) has not been
reached.
Result: the machine is OFF, and an alarm message appears on the display
Solution: carry out the following controls.
1) Level probe (SLC) is dirty, so isolated from the water (the complete filling of the boiler is checked)
2) no water from mains
3) low water pressure
4) faulty motor pump
5) faulty filler solenoid valve
6) incorrect electrical connections (level probe (SLC) check cord ).

To reset the alarm switch the machine OFF and then ON again.
2) Boiler temperature alarm

First case: the temperature inside the boiler has reached the limit value of 129°C (264.2°F) or more.
Result: boiler heating is interrupted and all dose buttons are disabled.
Solution: turn OFF the machine. Replace the electromagnetic switch as its contacts might get stuck. Turn the machine ON.

Second case: the temperature probe is defective. The probe sends the following signal to the pcb: 0 Ohm (short circuit)..
Result: boiler heating is interrupted and all dose buttons are disabled.
Solution: turn OFF the machine. Replace the temperature probe. Turn the machine ON.

Third case: the temperature probe is defective. The probe sends the following signal to the pcb: 154 Ohm (open circuit)
Result: boiler heating is interrupted and all dose buttons are disabled.
Solution: turn OFF the machine. Replace the temperature probe. Turn the machine ON.

3) Turbine alarm.

Cause: the volume meter is not sending signals to the control unit within a time-out of 5 seconds.
Result: the keypads led start flashing, delivery continues up to a time-out of 240 seconds or until the selected key is pressed,
Solution: carry out the following controls.
1) No water from mains (coffee is not dispensed)
2) clogged group (coffee is not dispensed)
3) faulty group solenoid valve (coffee is not dispensed)
4) clogged entrance filters (coffee is not dispensed)
5) blocked or faulty flow meter (coffee dispensed continuously)
6) faulty electrical connection (coffee dispensed continuously).
Note: If the coffee is dispensed continuously, use the machine as if it were manual: press the required key to start up the
dose, then press the same key to stop the dose being dispensed, after checking the amount in the cup.
If dispensing continues until the above mentioned time-out of 120 seconds, the dispensing will be stopped and display
shows:

The message signals that a time-out problem of the flow meter occurred.
At the next dose the message will be cancelled if dispensing is carried out correctly.

4) Safety thermostat operation.
Cause: The water level in the boiler has dropped lower than the resistor thus the temperature inside the boiler read 169°C /
336,20°F or the machine has been stoked where the temperature has dropped below 0°C. – 32°F.
Result: the heating is disabled, the boiler pressure gauge indicates a falling pressure.
Solution: carry out the following controls.
1) Level probe (SLC) is earthed
2) Level probe (SLC) is earthed and resistor remote control switch has stuck contacts.
3) Check if non return valve and filling up solenoid valve is leaking back in case the water inlet pressure is lower then the
pressure inside the boiler.
5) Safety valve operation.
Cause: overpressure in steam boiler
Result: the 1.9 bar safety valve opens and releases steam in the upper part of the machine.
Solution: carry out the following controls:
1) Temperature probe of the boiler broken.
2) Contacts of the electromagnetic switch of the element may be stuck.
3) Replace the safety valve in case it releases steam at a pressure lower than 1.7 Bars.

6) Boiler anti-vacuum valve. ( Only COF version machine )

The anti-vacuum valve (see hydraulic diagram) is installed on the boiler and prevents any air remaining during the loading
phase and a vacuum being created during the cooling down phase.

7) Steam tap anti-suction valve

The anti-suction valve is installed on the steam taps and prevents milk from entering into the boiler when there is a vacuum.

8) Exchanger non - return valve

The non -return valve (see hydraulic diagram) is installed between the loading solenoid valve and the boiler, and has the
following function:
During the loading phase it opens by means of the water pressure, letting the water enter into the boiler.
Once the loading phase is over, it closes preventing the water in the steam boiler from returning to the water supply network.

9) Expansion valve ( pressure relief valve )

The expansion valve ( see hydraulic diagram )is self-operating valve installed between the pump and the loading solenoid
valve and protect the exchanger against over pressurization ( Max 12 -13 bars ).
Solution: carry out the following controls:
In this case the amount of coffee delivered is lower due to the expansion valve leaking check valve
10) Barista steam probe alarm

Cause: The Barista steam probe is not sending signals to the control unit
Result: The Barista steam wand works without probe control use it by pressing the push button and press it again to stop
the steam delivery
Solution: carry out the following controls.
1 Steam probe is earthen
2 Steam probe is disconnected
3 Faulty control unit

SPECIAL MAINTENANCE

Routine maintenance must be carried out daily by authorised staff as specified in the specific chapters for instructions of the
machine.
Cleaning of the coffee outlet by means of the specially provided brush is part of the daily maintenance.
Special maintenance must be carried out periodically by the I.M.C. authorised service centre in the following way:
Replace filter holder gasket every 3-6 months
