Hello,
I have recently got hold of a Ambrogina Caffe, from what I can tell its works on a similar principal to an Atomic style. From a bit of googling I assume at some point it may have had an Electric Heat source however I don’t and instructions (which were still with it) say Gas on Low heat so not sure if some were electric and others just stove but should be OK. It’s in decent condition except it had water inside for several years so needs a monumental descaling, it would appear to aluminium throughout.
I searched the site but there is little on these machine, hoping somebody has or has owned to answer a few questions
1) I assume that any Atomic Descaling method should suffice as I assume some of the older ones may have similar scale build up. I am thinking I should descale the Reservoir as much as possible then when I am happy it’s clean run descale though the whole machine inc steam wand
The Shower screen has no direct screws so assume I may have to remove top and bottom screws to get to shower and Seal. This would I assume open up the entire top so before I do I would like to know if I need to be careful of anything
Apart from a Descale and Clean of Shower Screen is there any other maintenance I can/should do?
For steam only (which I would use) it mentions to remove filter and add a disk, I am thinking this is some sort of Blind Filter that I don’t have. If somebody has one can you link a picture?
Any tips on using? I’ve checked out a few Atomic/Otto videos and it mentions the amount of water is important so I guess I just need to play around.
Sorry I tried to attach pictures but couldn't figure it out
Thanks
Brad
