Use Of The Softener; Machine Demolition - La Pavoni Bar Mode D'emploi

15 – USE OF THE SOFTENER
Calcium and magnesium contained in the water circulating
inside the boiler and brewing unit circuits damage the machine.
The softener dissolves the calcium and magnesium, which settle on
the resins therein contained.
To prevent the build-up of deposits from saturating the resins, thus
limiting their functions, these need to be regenerated at regular
intervals according to the following criteria:
- 8 litre softener for 40 French degree HARDness water
• up to 400 cups of coffee/day, every 10 days
• up to 800 cups of coffee/day, every 5 days
• up to 1000 cups of coffee/day, every 3 days
- 12 litre softener, for 40 French degree HARDness water
• up to 500 cups of coffee/day, every 15 days
• up to 1000 cups of coffee/day, every 7 days
• up to 1500 cups of coffee/day, every 5 days
• up to 2000 cups of coffee/day, every 3 days.
Failure to comply with the above regeneration timings will preju-
dice the thermal and mechanical functions of the machine and the
taste of the coffee, owing to the formation of scale.
For regeneration, proceed as follows:
Place an empty container, having a capacity of at least two litres,
under pipe (e), turn the (c) and (d) handles to the right, unscrew the
(g) lid and wait for the water to fully flow out of pipe (e), Introduce
1.5 Kg. of cooking salt for the 8 litre model or 2 Kg. of salt for
the 12 litre model, place the lid back in place and move the (c)
handle from right to left; let the salted water flow out of the (f) pipe
and wait until the water has become fresh again (the cycle takes
approximately 90 minutes).

e - Vacuum pipe.
f - Regeneration pipe.
g - Lid knob.
Now move the (d) handle from right to left.
During regeneration, do not use the machine; for machines equip-
ped with automatic level indicator it is advisable to cut off the pump
power supply, to prevent no-load operation.
Before connecting the softener to the machine, wash the resins, by
establishing a connection to the water mains and letting water run
for five minutes.
N.B. The above mentioned directions relate to the softener shown
in the pictures; if your equipment differs, follows the directions
attached to softener in question.
16 – MACHINE DEMOLITION
Should you decide to no longer employ the machine, owing to
wear or to other reasons, we recommend that, once you have
removed the plug from the socket, you deactivate it by cutting off
the supply cable.
As regards the demolition procedure, we recommend you separate
the various parts of the machine, depending on their nature (pla-
stic, metal, etc.). Hence employ specialised firms for the disposal
of the various parts.
