REQUEST:Brasilia Lady/Club - Help/Documentation/Manual

[javahood]

If anyone has any form of documentation on this machine, or is willing
to describe how to operate a Brasilia Lady/Club - I would sincerely
appreciate it as I am purchasing one of these machines tomorrow, with
no Manual however... and do not want to risk doing anything stupid to
such a great machine!

I'm upgrading from a Krups Vivo/Gusto (which by the way can pull one
damned good espresso with good technique) so you can imagine my awe of
such a machine.

Also, any advice on backflushing - I hear this machine has a solenoid
valve so you can backflush it? How safe is this, is cleaner required
and how often do you have to perform such tasks?

Thanks in advance people!

Rosito Bisani in L.A. sells Brasilia and should be your 1st source.

rg will help you with backflushing.

has it, please send it to dmmaestre at gmail.com

[daveb]

AFAIK, none of this is on the web.

BUT


call Rosito Bisani in LA:

323 - 937-1888 -- that is their phone number.

I'd rather not make a call to USA from New Zealand, I'm going to ring
the local importer tomorrow however and see if they can be of any help.
If I do attain a manual, I will endevour to scan and upload the thing -
there's a serious void of information missing for this machine, someone
has to do something to fill it.

If you can't find email contacts you'll probably have to make a call
to somewhere outside of New Zealand anyway - either Europe or the US.
Do you have Skype? If so, Skypeout is reasonable - just over 1p per
minute (€ 0.017 or $ 0.021).

If not, and you are on broadband, get Skype anyway - it's free and
worth every penny :)

I'd rather not make a toll call to USA from New Zealand... I am going
to chase up the local importer here in Auckland tomorrow however, and
if I do manage to attain a manual through them - I will endevour to
scan and have it hosted online for all to benefit.

Provided you are not breaking any copyright by doing so, I hope.
Always best to get permission anyway.

It works much like any other mid range espresso machine -- like the
Gaggias or Silvia, et al. operational advice is generic. as regards
cleaning descaling etc, etc.

left to right -
1 Power on off -- 2 Pump on off (coffee) -- 3 Water dispense (hold
down) -- 4 Steam (hold down)

Hold the steam button for 15 or 20 seconds -- the 1200 watt element
will get you to steam pronto! then open the black steam valve -- be
ready!

I know this cuz I just finished a repair -- pid controller mod. for a
doctor in Virginia.

I do not backflush machines of this type, period..

I owned a Club and once had this stuff faxed to me from Brasilia
Italy. Send them a fax/email requesting the schematic ad they will
fax/email to you no problem.

It is made by G. Rossi, and is the same machine as the Reneka Duo; Reneka
used to have some info for it (like cleaning procedures) on their website
(reneka.fr)

Well, after being ignored by Bisani, brasilia.it, Reneka and ... well I
think that's about it. It turns out the local agent here DID have the
manual.

So here it is folks, freshly scanned and available to all!

Enjoy.

If you have any questions about the operation, maintenance, etc. I will be happy to tell you what I know. I have owned three Club models over the last 15+ years. The Lady and Club are the same machine except for the design of the exterior (and positioning of controls for valves).
