Powering Up Mini Vivaldi II at the Beginning of the Day

Post by a312 »

I've had my new machine for a little over a week now. When I turn on the machine at the beginning of each day, is the pump supposed to always come on and refill the boiler? With my other Vivaldi II, I seem to remember that when I turned the machine on, the pump would always run for a little but I don't remember for sure. The only thing that I can think of is that the boiler doesn't need refilling from the previous day, or perhaps something is a little different with the newer models. Can someone confirm this for me? Any comments appreciated.

Thanks

The answer is yes if you did steaming the previous day. When boiler is hot, the machine makes sure it is always filled to the right level. Next morning, when the machine is cold, water level is less as water contracted over night so the machine will do a top up immediately.
