Hi I am new so I am not sure if this is where I need to post my question.
I have just inherited a Brasilia Portafino Compact single group that has sat in storage for 2 yrs now. It a 1997 vintage. I plugged the machine to see if it works, The pump appears to work & the boiler works but I could not get the water to come out of the group head. The machine was not plumbed into main water just in a 20L container.
So does it need to be plumbed in or can I use the 20L container? Is there a way to prime the pump without plumbing it.
Who can service this machine (Sydney) or can I do it myself as I see I can readily get all the parts I need?
How do I go about descaling the boiler and the heat exchanger?
Any advice is most welcomed. ;D
