STRADIVARI MODEL
- Press the switch (6) which, by lighting up, will
indicate that the machine is on and that the hea-
ting element is activated, picture E1.
- Wait for the warning light (7) to switch on; turn
the steam tap knob (4) slowly, by turning it anti-
clockwise and discharge the "false pressure"
due to the air that is left in the boiler, then close
it again by turning it clockwise.The warning light
turn off and wait for it to switch on again. Now
the machine has reached the correct pressure
and is ready to deliver coffee and steam. When
the green lamp starts blinking alternatively it is
due to the normal functioning of the machine,
which automatically regulates the pressure in the
boiler.
STRADIVARI PROFESSIONAL MODEL
- Place the switch (6) on the on position; lighting
it up, will indicate that the machine is on, picture
E.
- When the pointer of the pressure gauge (13) will
have reached the green zone, turn slowly the
steam tap knob (4) by turning it anticlokwise,
to discharge the "false pressure" due to the air
left in the boiler; then close it again by turning it
clockwise and wait for the pointer of the pressure
gauge to reach the green zone. Now the machi-
ne has reached the correct pressure and is ready
to deliver coffee and steam. The pressure will be
automatically regulated and maintained by the
pressure switch which acts on the heating ele-
ment. The alternation of the warning light (6) is
normal because it means that the pressure switch
adjusts automatically the pressure in the boiler.

If during the operation the machine is left without water, the safety thermostat will intervene
by interrupting the machine power supply. In this case the thermostat will have to be reset (see
section 18 – Causes for Operating Failures).
8 – COFFEE DELIVERY
To obtain a good cup of coffee it's important to use a good quality coffee, well
roasted and correctly grinded.
The coffee espresso machine needs the use of a thin mixture grinded; if the
grinding is too coarse we will obtain light and pale coffees and without
cream. If the grinding is too thin we will obtain dark and strong coffees with
little cream.
The grinding is optimal when the espresso is black and "creamy". To obtain
a good cup of coffee you should follow these rules: with the machine under
pressure put the filter-basket (16), with grinded coffee, inside the filter-holder
(n. 10), and together under the group; pull up the lever (1) and after few
seconds the coffee starts dripping from the filter holder. The machine will be
in the best condition for coffee deliver.
We suggest to grind the coffee, with a coffee-grinder, at the moment of its use,
because once grinded, it looses its fragrance in a short time. Please do not use
a blade-type grinder because it makes too much coffee dust and produces an
irregular grind.
- Choose the correct filter (16 or 16a) and put it into the filter
15
holder (10). Use the small filter for 1 cup (or for pods use) and
16a
the big filter for 2 cups. Wait till the machine reach the correct
temperature with the filter holder fitted up. In the meantime
16
prepare cups, coffee, milk ect. Besides we suggest to warm
the cups.

- After the heating take away the filter holder (10) and fill the
foto F
filter (16 or 16a), with ground coffee using the measure of
the machine (15). Please consider a measure for each cup of
coffee. Photo F.

- Press the coffee using the coffee press (14) pro-
vided
and
from
any
N.B. One cup filter (16a) is suitable for pods use. The
pod must be put into the filter taking care that the
filter paper doesn't extend beyond the edge of the

filter holder. Photo R.
- Holding the machine firm by the lever handgrip (1), insert the
filter-holder (10) in the place provided in the unit (11) and fix it
in place through a brief rotation from right to left, picture H.
- Lift the lever (1) (with your left hand hold the filter-holder han-
dgrip, and make sure that the machine remains firm) and
hold it in this position for a few seconds; as the first drops
of coffee come through, pull it down as much as possible.
This operation will have to be repeated depending on the

desired amount of coffee, picture I.
