Notes:
- Warranty Note: Please note that it is very
important to use 'softened water' in these machines, as well as
all espresso machines. Hard water will cause these machines to
malfunction, and Elektra will not cover the parts warranty due
to hard water. In addition, it is extremely important to run the
a leva and Semiautomatica machines with water at least 25% full
in the sight glass. Running these models with a water level lower
than this can cause heating element damage which will not be covered
under warranty as this is not a manufacturer's defect. If you
return the unit with a damaged heating element, you will be charged
for the repair, and the repair charge will be deducted from the
credit.
- The water in the boiler is not used to make coffee. The water
to make coffee comes directly from the reservoir and passes through
a pipe in the bottom boiler for flash heating. If cold water passes
through this pipe, the change in temperature will cause the boiler
water (sight glass) to fluctuate. The only time the water level
in the sight glass should change is when
a) the steamer is used and the water level drops, or
b) the red button on the left hand side of the base is depressed
and held to refill the boiler.
- There is a safety feature on this machine when water is not
pumped into the boiler on initial startup. If this isn't done
the safety kicks off and the machine will have to be reset. On
the bottom of the machine underneath the yellow cap there is a
reset button for the safety thermostat. If you purchased the machine
from us and are still having issues, you can email us for instructions.
