INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE MODEL:   PROFESSIONAL PC-16 PG-16 PB-16 First Time Operation For first time "out of the box" operation we recommend you clean the inside of your la Pavoni machine. Follow the simple procedures below: 1. FILL THE BOILER (9) WITH  WATER  UNTIL  THE  WATER  LEVEL  REACHES  THE  TOP  OF THE SIGHT GLASS (5). FOR THIS CLEANING PROCEDURE YOU MAY ADD ANOTHER 1/2 CUP (5OZ.) OF WATER TO THE BOILER. 2. ADD  A  COFFEE  DESCALER  OR  IF  NOT  AVAILABLE  ADD  2  TABLESPOONS  OF  SODIUM CARBONATE. 3. CLOSE THE BOILER CAP (3) AND STEAM KNOB (4). 4. TURN  THE  MACHINE  ON  AND  ALLOW  IT  TO  REACH  OPERATING  TEMPERATURE  (THE PRESSURE  GAUGE  (7)  IN  THE  GREEN  ZONE.)  LEAVE  THE  MACHINE  ON  FOR  10  FULL MINUTES.  WATER  WILL  EXIT  FROM  THE  SAFETY  VALVE,  THIS  IS  NORMAL.  PLACE  A PAPER TOWEL OVER THE BASE OR LET THE WATER DRIP INTO THE BASIN. 5. AFTER 10 MINUTES  PLACE A CONTAINER UNDER THE GROUP (11) AND SLOWLY RAISE THE LEVER (1). 6. DISCHARGE   WATER   UNTIL   THE   SIGHT   GLASS   SHOWS   A   1/4   TANK   OF   WATER REMAINING. 7. LOWER THE LEVER (1) AND SWITCH  THE  POWER  OFF  (6).  YOU  MAY  THEN  RAISE  THE LEVER (1) AGAIN AND ALLOW THE REMAINING WATER TO EXIT. WHEN ALL WATER AND STEAM HAS EXITED, REPEAT STEPS 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 & -7 AGAIN TO FLUSH OUT ALL THE SOLUTION. There  are  currently  many  coffee  descalers  available  on  the  market,  such  as  "Urnex"  coffee descaler. These are usually made of all natural citric powders. Your favorite coffee store can advise  you  where  to  purchase  these  cleaners,  or  call  us  at  800/927-0277  for  additional information on where to purchase Urnex Coffee descaler. This cleaning procedure should be repeated 4 to 5 times a year depending on usage. Your machine may show moisture in the sight glass, this is normal. ALL la Pavoni machines are tested prior to packing and shipping to insure their reliability. Owners of copper/brass machines should be aware that the boiler (9) is made of solid copper which is polished and then coated with lacquer.  These units require NO maintenance. Never use any copper cleaner or  abrasives to clean.  Use a damp cloth to clean. Since copper is a natural material it will gradually turn a darker amber color with use, this is normal.  This natural ” aging” process will enhance the beauty of your machine.
