5.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Cup heating tray

The Nivola features a cup warming

tray for up to six cups.

Under normal use, the machine

would be left on during the day,

allowing the cup warming surface

to reach a suitable temperature.

Place cups upside down on the

tray, as shown.

Operating principle

When the coffee function is

selected, if the boiler water is at

the correct temperature, an elec-

tric pump inside the machine is

switched on, pumping water from

the reservoir into the bottom of

the boiler.

The pump operates at a high

pressure, so when cold water is

pumped into the boiler, the boiler

pressure rises. This causes the hot

water at the top of the boiler to

flow through the coffee grounds in

the filter basket, into the cup.

6.MAKING COFFEE

The main requirements for making

good coffee are:

•

freshly ground coffee.

•

filter basket filled with grounds

to correct level, and evenly

tamped.

Procedure

Ensure machine is warmed up,

in particular the coffee handle

and filter basket. This can be

done by placing the handle

(fitted with a filter basket) into

the machine, selecting the

coffee function and allowing

hot water to flow through the

handle for five seconds or so.

This procedure will also help

warm up the machine by

causing the boiler's heating

element to operate.

When the steam function is select-

ed, the boiler water temperature

needs to be high enough to pro-

duce steam, sometimes causing

the red stand-by light to come on

while the boiler temperature rises.

The steam is directed to the steam

wand with an electrically powered

solenoid valve that is operated

when the steam function is

selected, but only when the boiler

temperature is high enough to

produce steam. After using the

steam wand, the boiler is refilled

automatically by the pump, which

will come on briefly when the

control knob is returned to the

off position.
