Preparing the ES.1 For Storage or Shipping

  • Updated

Drain and Prep the ES.1 for shipping.

These instructions assume you are starting with a machine powered up and connected to a water source (plumbed or water reservoir). The pump could be damaged if the ES.1 tries to power up and fill without a water source. To mitigate any danger to the pump, put the ES.1 into safe mode when you turn on the ES.1. If the ES.1 is already off, it will try to fill and heat up when you turn it on during the boot-up process.

  1. Put ES.1 into safe mode.
  2. If ES.1 is attached to a plumbed water source, turn off the water supply so there is no more incoming water pressure.
  3. Remove the Knurled-Head Thumb Screw and Cup Rail (numbers 1 and 3 on the diagram below).
  4. Unscrew and remove the Steam Actuator handle (number 4 on the diagram below).
  5. Loosen and remove the 4 screws on the top and side of the right panel (numbers 2 and 5 on the diagram below).
  6. Remove Right Side Panel.

  7. Locate Ball Valves.

  8. On the Home Screen, press the Settings Button (gear shape). Enter the Advanced User Password: 4444
  9. Within settings screen, tap “diagnostics”.

  10. Within diagnostics screen, choose “Tests” from the three options across the top.
  11. Tap "View Test" next to Depressurize and Drain.

    • A warning message will prompt you to wait until the steam take has dropped in pressure down to 212° F and to disconnect the plumbed connections if the ES.1 is plumbed.
      • When you are ready to proceed, press "OK". The ES.1 will automatically be put into "safe mode" preventing the pump from running.
    • The ES.1 will start to cool down and depressurize.
  12. Wait for the ES.1 to cool down. We recommend waiting until the temperature reads 212° F / 100°C or below.
  13. Open Steam Pressure Valve / Steam Wand by twisting the steam actuator knob towards the front of the ES.1. Allow steam to dispense until there is no more steam coming out of the Steam Wand (you can continue several other steps below while steam is running).

  14. Press the Open Brew System Valves. This will open the valves without running the pump so the ES.1 can continue to depressurize.
  15. After there is no more steam coming out of the Steam Valve / Steam Wand, the machine has depressurized enough to proceed and begin draining the ES.1.
    • Open mechanical ball valves (2 total) for the Low-Temperature tank drain and Steam Tank drain.

    • Let water drain.

  16. Once machine is completely drained:
    • Turn machine off.
    • Close mechanical ball valves on steam tank and LT tank.
    • Replace panels as needed.
    Warning: Do NOT leave the settings->diagnostics screen in the middle of this process, or machine will try to refill and/or re-heat unexpectedly!
