Setting up Mini S1 after sitting idle for 1 year
Posted: Sun Mar 11, 2012 2:20 pm
I have a La Spaziale Vivaldi II Mini S1, about 2.5 years old. It has always worked fine; I simply used it and occasionally cleaned and descaled, there were no problems. 1 year ago I stopped living at the same address as my S1 (long story...), and from that time until now it just sat there; it was never emptied or prepared for 'storage' in any way.
I have the S1 back in my possession now. My question is, what is the best way (for the safety of the machine) of getting it up and running again? Will it be OK to just run a few tanks of water through both boilers, do a descale cycle or two, and clean the portafilter etc.? Should I do something more, such as open up, empty , and check the boiler(s)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated... Cheers!
