- a splash guard ring is also fitted in the fresh coffee and
milk mixers; this must be cleaned and then replaced in
the same mixers;
- in order to remove the wheels, block the disk fitted on the
mixer shaft with a finger (fig. 7);
- wash all parts with detergent being sure that all visible
residue and product layers are mechanically removed,
using a brush if necessary;
Disinfection should be carried out using chlorine-based
detergents;
-soak allcomponents for approx.20 minutesina container
filled with the previously prepared chlorine-based deter-
gent;
- reinstall the feeders and the water funnels;
- reinstall the powder deposit drawers and the powder
funnels after thoroughly drying them.
After reinstalling all parts the following is however
required:
- enter into "Filler" mode to clean the mixers (see relevant
paragraph) and add a few drops of the chlorine-based
detergent in the various funnels
- After disinfection thoroughly rinse all components to
ensure that all residue of the detergent solution is re-
moved.

CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY
The vending machine is designed to operate under a
single-phase 230 V~ voltage and is protected by 15 A
fuses.
Before making the connection, ensure that the rating
corresponds to that of the power grid, and more specifi-
cally:
- the supply voltage rating must be within the range
recommended for the connection points;
- the main switch should be capable of withstanding the
peak load required, and at the same time ensure proper
omnipolar disconnection from the power grid with an
opening gap of the contacts of at least 3 mm.
The switch, the power outlet and the plug must be
located in an easily accessible position.
The electrical safety of the machine is ensured only when
it is correctly earthed according to the safety standards
in force.
This fundamental safety requirement must be duly
verified, and if in doubt the system must be carefully
tested by qualified technicians.
The power supply cable is of the type with a fixed plug. Any
replacement should be carried out by qualified personnel
only, using exclusively cables of the type HO5 RN - F or
HO5 V V-F or H07 RN-F with a section of 3x1-1.5 mm2.
Do not use adapters, multiple sockets and/or exten-
sions.
Before switching the machine on, be sure it is correctly
connected to the water mains and the cut-off valve is open.
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSI-
BILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY NON-COM-
PLIANCE WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED PRECAU-
TIONS.
DOOR SWITCH
When opening the door a special microswitch disconnects
the power from the machine electrical system.
To energize the system with the open door, simply insert
the special key into the slot (see Fig. 2).
With the door open there is no access to energised
parts. Inside the machine, the only parts that stay
energised are those protected by covers and carrying
a plate with the warning “Disconnect the power before
removing the protective cover”.
Beforeremoving suchcoversdisconnect themachine
from the power grid.
The door can be closed only after removing the key from
the door switch.
CONNECTING THE MACHINE
TO THE WATER MAINS
The machine must be connected to the drinking water
mains. The water pressure must be 5 to 85 N/cm2.
Run some water from the mains until it is clear and without
impurities.
Use a hose capable of withstanding the water mains
pressure and suitable for use with foodstuff (min. inside
diameter of 6 mm) to connect the water supply to the fitting
(1/4" gas) of the water inlet solenoid valve (see Figure 14).
1 - Water inlet fitting (1/4" gas)
2 - Water supply hose
3 - Overflow hose
4 - Inlet hose fitting
Fig. 14
A good practice is to install the water supply tap
outside the machine in an easily accessible position.
OVERFLOW DEVICE
The water inlet solenoid valve (see Fig. 14) is equipped
with an overflow device which mechanically stops the
water inlet if there is a malfunction in the solenoid valve
or in the boiler water level control device.
To restore normal operation, proceed as follows:
- drain the water contained in the overflow hose;
- shut off the water supply using the tap outside the
machine;
- loosen the nut which secures the solenoid valve supply
hose to relieve the water mains residual pressure and
then tighten again (see Fig. 14);
- open the tap and switch the machine on.

INSTALLING THE PAYMENT SYSTEM
The machine is sold without payment system, there-
fore the installer of such a system is responsible for
any damage to the machine or to things and persons
caused by faulty installation.
- Install the desired coin mechanism according to the
appropriate instructions and make sure that the relevant
parameters are programmed correctly.
- adjust the selector opening lever bracket to allow
complete opening of the selector;
- adjust the coin chute according to the type of coin
mechanism installed.
FILLING THE WATER SYSTEM
If the air-break device indicates the no-water condition for
more than 10 seconds after the machine has been
switched on, an installation cycle will automatically be
started, and namely:
- the display will show “OUT OF SERVICE” for the entire
duration of the cycle;
- the air-break and the boiler are filled;
N.B.: If there is no water flow from the mains during
theinstallation cycle,themachine willbeblocked until
the water is resumed or the machine is switched off.
This operation must be carried out by hand after any
maintenancerequiring theboiler tobeemptied butnot
the air-break.
BREWER UNIT OPERATION
The unit is designed to brew ground coffee (suitable for
vending machines).
Ensure that the powder funnel is cleaned thoroughly
at the end of the dispensing cycle.
DISPENSING CYCLE
When a selection is made, the Brewer unit motor (15-1)
will lift the sliding filter holder (15-2) against the cylinder
ofthe brewingchamber(15-3)until propersealis achieved.
At the same time, the brewing piston (15-4) is raised to let
the water and the product mixture into the chamber.
Water dispensing starts one second after the unit motor
starts.

Brewing will continue for a preset period of time, which can
be programmed via software, then the piston is lowered
to dispense the brewed drink and dry the dose of grounds.
At the end of drink dispensing, the filter holder will be
lowered, the filter holder motor (15-5) moves back the
sliding filter holder, thus enabling the grounds to be
removed by the scraper (15-6).
It is also possible to program a pause for drying the product
dose to further improve the drink quality.
To improve the product aspect, a special dispensing spout
is used on some models (see Fig. 8), for the purpose of
preventing the pressure generated by the brewing piston
from being discharged directly into the cup.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE MA-
CHINE SETTINGS
To get the best results from the product used, the following
should be checked:
- The dose weight of the instant products;
- The water dose;
- The drink temperature.
The weight of instant products and the water dose are
directly controlled by the microprocessor.
To adjust them it is therefore necessary to follow the
programming procedures.
STANDARDSETTINGS
The vending machine is supplied with the following set-
tings:
- Brew temperature (at the spout) approx. 85-89°C;
- Instant product temperature (at the spout) approx. 75°C.
CUP SENSOR
The cup sensor (fig. 16) is adjusted in such as way as to
detect objects (red LED glowing) placed between the
sensor lens and the reflector.
The green LED glows when the reflector is read correctly.
By means of the trimmer (preset at the factory) the
sensing depth can be varied; the correct setting is
approximately 30°, clockwise, from the maximum.
For a correct operation, the infrared transmitter and the
reflector must be kept clean.
