Hi
Ive just purchased a used Cimbali M30 Bistro2, and like everyone else who has done this before me, I am without the manual. Ive done the requisite research (browsed forums, contacted the service company in my area, contacted the company directly, search the Internet, etc) but to no avail. Heres the deal:
Machine is of unknown vintage (though I know they introduced this particular model in 1989), and I was told that it worked when they disconnected it but it has been sitting for over a year in a backroom. The outside is very clean, but the insdie is very dirty. I have removed all access panels and though the guts look dirty, they do not look damaged. I have a water softener tank that connects directly to the machine, and I need to get a new plug for it. Once the electrician comes to install a 220 circuit, Ill plug her in and go from there.
Does anyone out there have any advice for me in terms of cleaning the machine, operating it, and getting it back restored to working order? I am happy to document my journey from purchse to refirbish to making the perfect (ha ha) cup.
Thanks a mil!!
