USING THE VENDING MACHINES OF HOT
DRINKS IN OPEN CONTAINERS
(Ex.: plastic cups, ceramic cups, jugs)
Thevendingmachinesofdrinksinopencontainersshould
be used only to sell and dispense drinks obtained by:
- brewing products like coffee and tea;
- reconstituting instant and lyophilized products;
These products should be declared by the manufacturer
as "suitable for automatic vending" in open containers.
The dispensed products should be consumed imme-
diately. Under no circumstances should they be pre-
served and/or packed for later consumption.
Any other use is unsuitable and thus potentially danger-
ous.
POSITIONING THE VENDING MACHINE
The vending machine is not suitable for outdoor installa-
tion.It mustbe installedin adry roomwhere thetempera-
ture is between 2° C and 32° C, and not where water jets
are used for cleaning (e.g. in large kitchens, etc.).

OPERATION OF THE COFFEE UNIT
COFFEE DISPENSING CYCLE
When selecting coffee, the grinder is started and will
continueuntilthecoffeedoserchamberisfull(seefig.15).
When the doser unit is full, the ground coffee dose is
released into the coffee unit.
Thecoffeefallsintotheverticalbrewchamber(1)(seeFig.
12).
The ratiomotor handle engaged with the disk (2) located
outside of the unit rotates by 180°, causing the brew
chamber to swing and lowering the upper piston (3) (see
Fig. 13).
Duetothewaterpressure,thepre-brewingspring(5)sinks
and the lower piston (4) goes down 4 mm, thus forming a
watercushionwhichallowsanevenuseofthecoffeedose.
Attheend of thedispensingcycle and duringa pause of3
seconds, the pre-brewing spring (5) will discharge the
water through the third way of the dispensing solenoid
valve, lightly pressing the used coffee dose.
Bycompletingitsrotation,theratiomotormakestheswing-
ing lever (6) lift the pistons and the coffee dose.
At the same time, when the brew chamber returns to its
vertical position, the scraper on the coffee hopper stops
the used coffee dose and drops it. The lower piston now
returns to the bottom dead centre.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
THE MACHINE SETTINGS
Togetthebestresultsfromtheproductused,thefollowing
should be checked:
for coffee
Thattheusedcoffeedoseislightlycompressedanddamp.
The grade of grinding of coffee.
The weight of the ground coffee.
The dispensing temperature.
The water dose.
For instant products
The weight of the instant products.
The drink temperature.
The water dose.
Should the standard settings be varied, proceed as indi-
cated in the next sections of this manual.
The weight of the instant products, the water dose and
temperaturearedirectlycontrolledbythemicroprocessor.
To adjust them it is therefore necessary to follow the
programming procedures.

STANDARD SETTINGS
The vending machine is supplied with the following set-
tings:
- coffee temperature (at the spout) approx. 85÷89° C;
-instantproducttemperature(atthespout)approx.75°C;
The machine standard settings assign the same price,
expressed in number of basic units, to all selections

ADJUSTING THE SETTING OF THE
COFFEE UNIT PISTON STROKE
When the upper piston is correctly positioned, the coffee
unit can operate with coffee doses of 5.5 to 7.5 g.
To change the piston position (see Fig. 14):
- remove the snap ring from its seat;
- place the piston in the proper adjusting notches:
.less deep notches for 5.5 to 6.5 g doses;
.deeper notches for 6.5 to 7.5 g doses.
1 - Snap ring
2 - Upper piston
3 - Reference fins

WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
If the boiler temperature is to be changed, adjust the
special trimmer (see Fig. 20) keeping in mind that:
- tightening will increase the temperature;
- loosening will decrease the temperature;
- the temperature varies by approx. 1° C every 2 turns.
ADJUSTING THE GRADE OF GRINDING
When a variation in the grade of grinding is desired, turn
therelevantadjustingknobonthegrinder(seeFig.15)and
more specifically:
- turn the knob anticlockwise for coarser grinding;
- turn the knob clockwise for finer grinding.
For optimum results, it is good practice to vary the grade
of grinding with the coffee grinder motor running.
N.B.:Afteradjustmentofthegradeofgrinding,atleast
2 test selections must be performed in order to check
the new grade of the ground coffee:
the finer the grade of grinding the longer the time neces-
sary for dispensing the coffee and vice versa.

ADJUSTING THE COFFEE DOSE
Thedose adjusting levercan bepositioned in oneof the6
reference notches bearing in mind that:
- the dose is increased by lifting the lever:
- the dose is reduced by lowering the lever:
- every notch changes the dose by approx. 0.25 g.
In addition, when the lever is fully rotated upwards, the
ratchet can be released from the groove in the dose
regulator(seeFig.15)andreplacedintoadifferentgroove
to change the average dose setting to:
- low 6 g. ± 0.5
- medium 7 g. ± 0.5
- high 8 g. ± 0.5
To take the dose just remove the coffee unit and press
button "2" from of the "maintenance" menu (see relevant
section).
Important notice!!!
To refit the coffee unit, pay special attention to the
piston position. Reference notches on the external
disk and on the unit case should match (see Fig. 18).
CUP SENSOR
The cup sensor is adjusted as to detect the presence of
objects(redLEDglowing)placedbetweenthesensorlens
and the reflector.
Thegreen LED glowswhen the reading from the reflector
is correct.
The sensor's depth of reading is adjusted by turning the
trimmer (preset at the factory); the correct setting is ap-
proximately 30°, anticlockwise, from the maximum.
For correct operation, the infrared transmitter and the
reflector must be kept clean.
