Bought a used Faema Eurostar Combi. Don't have a

Have a used Faema Eurostar Combi. Don't have a manual and am wondering - to make coffee and steam there's a dial as well as a button pressed in for water or out for steam.

To make coffee, I presume the water button is in and the dial turned to coffee. Can anyone tell me that this is the case as I cannot find a manual out there at all.

If it's the same as the used one I just picked up, there is a dial position for coffee, with a little cup on it. The dial position for steam is the one that cares about the positoin of the steam/hot water button.
The coffee position will never use steam and you don't need worry about the position of the steam button if you're not frothing milk.

SOURCE: User Manual for Faema D92/A, doesn't dispense coffee, only water

This will take some time so bear with me.
The problem with the machine is most likely the solenoid valve(black or blue electrical box connected on the side of the group), for easier access remove the front panel there are about 5 screws holding it in place, 2 on the bottom and 3 on the top under-side. Disconnect or turn off the water supply. Then using a 14mm open end wrench remove the nut and the discharge pipe. Do Not remove the 4 small allen wrench screws on the brass piece connected to the machine. Now remove the electrical box over the silver pipe, and using a cressent remove the silver pipe from the brass rectangle square. Slowly open the water supply, if water shoots out then the head is clear, we will move on if not, use a pin and clean the middle hole. Check the silver pipe also there is a small plunger in there press it in if it moves freely then we are good, if not you can try soaking it in puro caff until it clears or just get a new solenoid coil. Remove the shower screen and screw in the group head, you can soak those also.
If you still cannot get water, then we will have to go deeper into the machine.

A backflow preventor is normally installed by your plumber on the inline for the machine.

Hey, Follow these instructions to reset the program on a Faema X30 coffee maker. Make sure the machine is turned off first. Next, simultaneously push and hold the "Stop" and "Steam" buttons. Press and hold these buttons to start the appliance. Hold the buttons down while waiting for the display to say "Reset." To finalize the reset, let go of the buttons and push the "Stop" button. The computer will restart, and the program's settings will be restored to their original values. Always refer to the user manual for detailed instructions tailored to your particular machine model.

I have a 2009 Faema Smart S-2, 2 group semi automatic coffee machine. Is it possible to convert it to an automatic coffee machine?

First, I am NOT a Faema repairman, Though I've worked on some Faemas, and similar espresso machines.
** Your question is a bit vague so I will try to provide info.
The 'semi-automatic' means you don't have to watch the brewing of the coffee. The machine will 'Dose' out a per-determined amount of water through the portafilter. Manual machines require to operator to turn water on and off to dose. Full automatic will grind the beans, measure and pack the coffee, then brew the coffee with water. Some have the option to froth and dispense milk directly into the cup. The industry usually refers these machines as 'Super-Automatics' They are very expensive and are designed for untrained personnel (not a Barista) to make coffee. There are a number of Home use machines now that provide a similar function but can only produce a cup for personal use and not multiple cups.
** I have come across automatic milk steamer and frother. This can be a simple cappuccino attachment to your steam tip. More updated version have an auto-frother that replaces the steam wand and will do a fair job (IF THEY ARE KEPT CLEAN!). Some machines have modified steam wands with sensor probe that will measure the milk temperature and shut off the steam when heated to set point. You will find all these features handy at first as it gets a novice worker quickly up to speed to produce product. But once they get the proper Barista training, most will not use these features as it's generally faster to produce orders the standard way. (also a good Barista will always present a professional looking cup!)
** I've noted that repeat customers appreciate the effort that goes into a properly brewed cup of coffee. Otherwise we would all go to a coffee vending machine (with instant coffee, Yuk!)

Where do I find a group head seal for my Faema Contessa (family)? In the USA? Shipping from Austrailia is $30.00 and I would like to avoid that kind of charge if possible. I don't know the size of...

You ca get one from espressopartsNw.com of from cafeparts.com, faema uses the same parts for all their machines why reinvent the wheel, so the machine likely uses an 8mm gasket or the 8.5mm gasket.
