Installation Instructions
- Power Off: Ensure your coffee machine is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet before beginning installation.
- Locate Existing Knob: Identify the steam or water dispensing knob on your coffee machine that you intend to replace.
- Remove Existing Knob: Depending on your machine model, the existing knob may be pulled off directly or secured with a small screw. If a screw is present, use an appropriate tool (often a small screwdriver or hex key) to loosen and remove it. Carefully detach the old knob.
- Install Replacement Lever: Align the RUMDS Replacement Lever with the shaft on your coffee machine. Gently push it into place. If a screw was removed from the original knob, use the provided hex key to secure the new lever by tightening the screw into the lever's base. Ensure it is firmly attached but do not overtighten.
- Test Functionality: Once installed, plug in and power on your coffee machine. Carefully test the new lever's movement to ensure it rotates smoothly and engages properly with the machine's internal mechanism.

Operating Instructions

- Turning On/Off: Rotate the lever to the desired position to activate or deactivate the steam/hot water function, as per your coffee machine's specific operation.
- Adjusting Flow: For machines with variable flow control, the lever allows for smooth adjustments to the intensity of steam or hot water.
