  • Elektra ART.SXC Micro Casa SemiAutomatica Espresso Machine - Chrome

     

    The Elektra SemiAutomatica machine marries convenience and quality espresso. From assembly to espresso extraction, expect each step to be seamless. The attachment of the steam wand is the only required assembly. Three red switches are delegated to the power, coffee brew, and boiler refill functions. Crafting the most flavorful espresso beverages is made easier through the heat exchanger system with proper temperature. The machine is also built with an automatic pressure and temperature regulator as well as a knob-controlled steam valve for utmost user-friendliness.

    Notes:

    1. 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 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.
    2. The exterior color, which includes a clear coat finish, will naturally change as each Elektra machine ages. The inside of the water reservoir will discolor with the use of hard water (high in magnesium and/or calcium) or distilled/purified water. These items would not be covered under warranty as they are not considered manufacturer's defects.
    3. 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.
    4. There is a safety feature on this machine when water is not pumped into the boiler on initial startup. If this isn't performed correctly, 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.
    5. Paint remover can be used to remove the paint from copper and brass parts. Elektra uses varnish to paint the parts.
    6. To learn more about this espresso machine, read Home-Barista.com's Buyer's Guide to the Elektra Microcasa Semiautomatica.
    7. This machine is for home use only.
    8. CAUTION: ALL SURFACES ARE HOT AND CAN CAUSE BURNS
    9. Assembly Required: Eagle needs to be attached to dome by owner
    • Warning: Before plugging the machine's electrical cord into the electrical outlet, please make sure the power switch is in the 'O" (visible) for off position. Fill the top water reservoir before powering on the machine via the power switch. It is important to depress and hold the boiler refill switch on the left side of the machine immediately after powering up the first time. The sight glass needs to fill up to the 75% full mark before releasing the boiler refill switch. The sight glass needs to be filled a minimum of 25% at all times during the operation to avoid damage to the machine.
