Hi All
Just looking for some general info for manual fill 2 grp Lanna 2006 model. The tank is 14 litres. The machine is up and running I bought it cheap with a supposed boiler fault but tbh the only thing wrong was a leaky pressure valve. I'm not familiar with how a manual fill works so I began by filling until the spy glass was full implying boiler up to correct level. The heat element is controlled by the boiler pressure which activates between approx. 1 to 1.3. so everythings going well until the level of water drops below level indicator and I push the refill button. As then because the mains pressure is 2.the pressure in the tank goes to 2 and the element cant kick in without me releasing the pressure through the steam wand, (which sometimes is water as the tank is no longer up to temp). If I remove from mains water and put the inlet pipe into a bucket when I use group the pump draws water from the bucket. So just want to get familiar with technique Thanks
