STRADIVARI GRAN ROMANTICA MODEL
- Place the switch (5) on the on position; lighting
it up, will indicate that the machine is on, picture
C1.
- When the pointer of the pressure gauge (12)
will have reached the green zone, turn slowly
the steam tap knob (3) by turning it anticlokwise,
to discharge the "false pressure" due to the air
left in the boiler; then close it again by turning
it clockwise and wait for the pointer of the
pressure gauge to reach the green zone. Now
the machine has reached the correct pressure
and is ready to deliver coffee and steam. The
pressure will be automatically regulated and
maintained by the pressure switch which acts
on the heating element. The alternation of the
warning light (5) is normal because it means
that the pressure switch adjusts automatically
the pressure in the boiler.
- If during the operation the machine is left without
water, the safety thermostat will intervene by
interrupting the machine power supply. In this
case the thermostat will have to be reset (see
section 17 – Causes for Operating Failures).

8 – COFFEE DELIVERY
To obtain a good cup of coffee it's important to use a good quality coffee, well
roasted and correctly grinded.
The coffee espresso machine needs the use of a thin mixture grinded; if the
grinding is too coarse we will obtain light and pale coffees and without cream. If
the grinding is too thin we will obtain dark and strong coffees with little cream.
The grinding is optimal when the espresso is black and "creamy". To obtain
a good cup of coffee you should follow these rules: with the machine under
pressure put the filter-basket (16), with grinded coffee, inside the filter-holder
(n. 10), and together under the group; pull up the lever (1) and after few seconds
the coffee starts dripping from the filter holder. The machine will be in the best
condition for coffee deliver.
We suggest to grind the coffee, with a coffee-grinder, at the moment of its use, because
once grinded, it looses its fragrance in a short time. Please do not use a blade-type
grinder because it makes too much coffee dust and produces an irregular grind.
- Choose the correct filter (15 or 16) and put it into
14
the filter holder (9). Use the small filter for 1 cup (or
16a
for pods use) and the big filter for 2 cups. Wait till
16 the machine reach the correct temperature with the
filter holder fitted up. In the meantime prepare cups,
9
coffee, milk ect. Besides we suggest to warm the cups.

After the heating take away the filter holder (9) and fill the
filter (15 or 16), with ground coffee using the measure of
the machine (14). Please consider a measure for each cup
13
of coffee. Photo D
- Press the coffee using the coffee press (13) provided and
clean the edge of the filter basket from any coffee powder
left, picture E.
N.B. One cup filter (16) is suitable for pods use.

The pod must be put into the filter taking care that
the filter paper doesn't extend beyond the edge
of the filter holder. Photo E1.
- Holding the machine firm by the lever handgrip (1), insert the
filter-holder (9) in the place provided in the unit (10) and fix
it in place through a brief rotation from right to left, picture F.
- Lift the lever (1) (with your left hand hold the filter-holder
handgrip, and make sure that the machine remains firm) and
picture E1 hold it in this position for a few seconds; as the first drops
of coffee come through, pull it down as much as possible.
This operation will have to be repeated depending on the
desired amount of coffee, picture G.
