yesterday they brought me a pallet with a box weighing 73 kg
I almost couldn't lift it with a friend to the 1st floor
Now I'm trying to launch a new IZZO Pompeii and my wife is really waiting for coffee from the new machine (I can't deceive her)
original instruction - there is rubbish

Nick111: and where are you doing this cable?

espressotime: before the first start-up, let water into the boiler with the button?

Put the steam tab down. Fill manually with button on the front right.At least 3/4 full on the glass.Then you can turn it on.Release sream tab.
I would rinse the boiler a few times.

I carried that machine on my own to the car.Must have been 100 yards or so.Lifting it on the counter sucked too. I should have asked a friend for help. :shock:

Nope. It was a demo from the dealer.Bought it 8 years ago.
Check the boiler pressure.Mine is set at 1.4 now and that's where I feel at has to be at. Setting from the factory probably is 1.5 bar. Try it and see if you like it.
Changing the presso is very easy.
Take of the two lids and the pressostat is located at the top left. Adjust when pressure is off.
Oh. The machine takes 50 minutes to heat up when cold .

I read the recommendations of 1.05-1.2 bar, is it worth trying 1.5 for a start?
maybe immediately lower? is there a screw? how much to twist?

Take off the yellow plastic cap. You'll see the directions - and + that show the direction you'll have to turn to increase and decrease boilerpressure.
Change pressure with 360 degrees turns. 360 is a half bar I think.

1. 2 bar to me is way to cold to me.
Can you show me a picture of that 1.05-1.2 recommendation?
