Dispensing Of Hot Water And Steam; Dispensing Of Hot Water; Dispensing Of Steam - Profitec PRO 400 Bedienungsanleitung

Place the cup under the spout of the portafilter (for the preparation of 2 cups, put 1 cup under each spout).
Now move the brew group lever into the upper position to start the brewing process. The volume for a
single espresso is approx. 20 to 30 ml. Place the brew group lever back into the original position once the
desired volume is reached.
The remaining pressure/water will be discharged into the drip tray through the lower part of the infusion
cylinder.
The pump pressure can be read in the lower section of the gauge. If the ground coffee is too coarse, a
brewing pressure of over 9 bars is not possible.
Note: After the brewing process, the gauge still indicates a certain pressure. Only when preparing another
cup of coffee will the build-up of pressure be visible again.
Caution!
If the brew group lever is not moved into the lower position properly, hot water and grounds
will squirt out of the brew group while taking out the portafilter. This may cause injuries.
Only freshly ground coffee allows for an optimal coffee result. Therefore, use a
professional coffee grinder. In our assortment you will find several professional and
compact coffee grinders.
We recommend using the Profitec stainless steel tamper with a diameter of 58.4 mm for
optimum tamping.

Important!
To protect the steam gasket and hot water valve, please ensure that both valves are not
closed completely. The valve is closed even when not completely tightened.
6.9.1

Dispensing of hot water

1 Place an adequate water container (with a heat-insulated handle) under the hot water wand. After
having moved the power switch into the lower position, you can dispense water (e. g. for tea) by opening
the hot water valve.
2 After dispensing water, switch the machine on again. The boiler will be filled with water automatically.
When the machine is switched off, more hot water can be dispensed.
However, one does not necessarily have to switch off the machine for dispensing hot
water.
Caution!
Place the nozzle of the wand into the water container to avoid injuries due to the hot water.
6.9.2

Dispensing of steam

The PRO 400 makes it possible to generate large amounts of steam in order to heat or froth beverages,
e. g. milk or punch. It is a professional and compact espresso coffee machine with an large steam volume,
allowing you to prepare milk froth within a few seconds.
Do not bring the milk to a boil, otherwise it will not be possible to froth the milk.
1 Important: To get the best result when frothing milk, open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds to
release the condensation water in the pipe.
2 Immerse the steam nozzle (at the end of the steam dispenser) in the liquid.
3 Re-open the steam valve.
4 Heat and/or froth the liquid.
5 After frothing or heating, release the steam into the drip tray to keep the holes of the steam nozzle
clean.
Risk of injury
Always keep the steam nozzle underneath the surface of the liquid while heating or
frothing to avoid being sprayed by steam.
