4. Pradinis skalavimas: Prieš pirmą kartą naudodami, atlikite pradinį skalavimo ciklą.
   • Ensure the machine is plugged into a grounded 120V outlet.
   • Turn on the main power switch. The PID display will show the current temperature.
   • Once the machine reaches operating temperature, place a cup under the group head.
   • Activate the brew switch to run water through the group head for approximately 30 seconds. Repeat this process 2-3 times.
   • Open the steam valve to release steam for 15-20 seconds to purge any air from the steam wand.

5. Operacija

5.1. Espreso virimas

1. Paruoškite portafiltrą: Grind fresh coffee beans to an espresso-fine consistency. Dose the appropriate amount into your chosen basket (e.g., 14g for a double shot). Distribute evenly and tamp tvirtai su pridedamu tampNuvalykite visus palaidus kavos tirščius nuo portafiltro krašto.
2. Įdėkite filtro portafiltrą: Pritvirtinkite portafiltrą prie filtro galvutės, įstatydami jį ir tvirtai pasukdami į dešinę, kol jis užsifiksuos.
3. Pre-infusion (if programmed): The machine can be programmed for pre-infusion. Refer to the PID settings section for adjustment.
4. Pradėti išgavimą: Place your espresso cup(s) under the portafilter spouts. Activate the brew switch. The machine will extract espresso according to your programmed volumetric settings or until manually stopped.
5. Sustabdyti ištraukimą: The machine will stop automatically if volumetric settings are used. Otherwise, deactivate the brew switch when the desired volume is reached.
6. Nuimkite portafiltrą: Carefully remove the portafilter by twisting it to the left. Discard the spent coffee puck.

5.2. Pieno garinimas

1. Paruoškite pieną: Pripildykite nerūdijančio plieno pieno ąsotį šaltu pienu (pieniniu arba ne pieno) iki pat snapelio ribos.
2. Suaktyvinti Steam: Turn on the steam switch. Wait for the machine to reach steaming temperature (indicated on the PID display).
3. Valymo garų lazdelė: Briefly open the steam valve to purge any condensed water from the wand. Close the valve.
4. Garų pienas: Immerse the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the milk. Open the steam valve fully. Position the wand to create a swirling motion in the milk. For aeration, keep the tip near the surface to introduce air. For heating, submerge the tip deeper.
5. Monitoriaus temperatūra: Continue steaming until the milk reaches the desired temperature (typically 140-150°F / 60-65°C).
6. Švarus garų vamzdelis: Iškart po garinimo uždarykite garų vožtuvą. Nuvalykite garų antgalį drėgnu rankšluosčiu.amp cloth to remove any milk residue. Briefly open the steam valve again to purge any milk from inside the wand.

5.3. PID and Volumetric Controls
