| Low pressure out of your steam
wand? Make
sure the first thing you do, prior to adjusting your steam valve, is check that
your steam wand tip(s) are not clogged.
Remove the tip(s) – using a wrench to unscrew them –
and
make sure the holes are clear.
- Remove all trays from top of espresso machine.
- Locate adjustment nut directly behind front
panel, behind steam lever.
- Locate brass lock nut behind adjustment nut.
- Loosen lock nut by using crescent wrench to turn
it clockwise.
It
is wise to use 2 wrenches if possible (using one as a “Vice-grip”, the other to
turn the nut). This will prevent you
from damaging the housing or bending the copper pipes.
- Turn adjustment nut clock wise to increase steam
pressure.
Turn
it to point where steam begins to come out tip of steam wand, then turn back
counter clockwise ¼ to ½ turn.
- Turn adjustment nut counter clockwise to stop a
steam leak.
Turn
it to point where steam stops coming out of steam tip, then continue counter
clockwise ¼ to ½ turn.
