7.1.Controls (Fig.7)

1Main switch Two-position switch with led.

Turn on the switch (led on) the machine is turned (apart from the boiler) and the pump is turned on to fill the boiler;

2Boiler resistance switch Two-position switch with led.

On activating the switch (the led comes on) and power is supplied to the resistance for the boiler water.

3Cup heating resistance switch Two-phase switch with luminous led.

By turning on the switch (led on), the cup heating resistance is power supplied.

4A Coffee dispensing switch (Mod.S) Two-position switch:

With switch ON, coffee is dispensed;

With switch OFF, dispensing of coffee is interrup- ted.

4B Coffee Dispensing Electronic Panel (Mod. DE) This panel features 5 buttons for each dispenser (max 4) and 5 LEDs consisting of the following:

4 (A-B-C-D) buttons for start/stop dispensing the programmed coffee dose

1 (E) button for:

-Stop dispensing any dose

-Start in continuous mode

-Initialize dose programming for self-learning if pressed for about 8 sec.(If the function is ena- bled)

Each time a coffee is dispensed, the LED of the relative button lights up.

During dose programming, the LED of the 5th button flashes rapidly.

If the dose is supplied irregularly or the volumetric counter is malfunctioning, the LED of the pressed button flashes dispensing the dose on a time ba- sis.

5A Hot water button (picking up directly from the boiler) with two positions (Mod.S):

With switch ON, the LED flashes and hot water is dispensed directly from the boiler.

With switch OFF, the LED switches off and dispen- sing stops.

5B Hot water button (Mod.DE)

When the button is pressed, hot water is dispensed directly from the boiler for the set time or until the button is pressed again.

If you press the button for 2 seconds, dispensing is continuous and only stops when the button is pressed again.

Dispensing is discontinued automatically after 30 seconds, respectively.

6 Steam TSC (Optional)

When the button is pressed, the steam dispensing solenoid valve is excited until the set temperature is reached or until the button is pressed again.

6.1 Emulsion steam TSC (Optional)

Press the button to excite the steam and emulsion delivery electromagnetic valves until the program- med temperature and froth level are reached or until the function is switched off.

Safety Devices

Dispensing cannot be carried out if the machine has not reached the operating pressure or tempe- rature at least once, and each time that the boiler pressure drops too much.

7Steam supply handwheel.

Tap: turn in an anticlockwise direction to open and clockwise to close.

8Supplementary manual water filling button positioned under the discharge basin.

Press down to fill the boiler.

7.2. Control instruments (Fig.7)
