CHAPTER 2. INSTALLATION AND STARTING UP
2.1.- Electrical Installation
The electrical installation voltage must be the voltage indicated on the characteristics plate and
must not exceed the limits established in each country.
Maximum power consumed: in accordance with the characteristics plate.
2.2.- Water inlet
Prepare a water inlet in accordance with the indications of the general characteristics table,
in the place in which the machine is to be situated. The distance between this water inlet and
any electric socket must be at least 1 m. In any event, observe the European Directives.
2.3.- Levelling
Level the machine by screwing the legs and put the base of the
machine in place.
2.4.- Starting up
Once the water hose is connected to the supply and
the machine plugged in, turn on the power switch (1,
Fig. 6).
2.5.- Installation of the payment systems
Fit the payment and return systems following the instructions
supplied with each part.
If the element to be installed uses the EXECUTIVE protocol,
connect it to the two points indicated in the photo (1). If the
protocol is MDB, use the No. 2connector.
Once properly connected, the machine will automatically detect
the coin box installed on it.
If you have fitted a banknote or card reader, or similar payment
element, then you must activate it in the machine programming.

2.6.- Changing the product and price sign
Remove the cups container and remove the plastic nut that fastens the top of the buttons.
Pull back the cover to remove the selections menu. Press on the side of the label holder to
release the row of labels you want to change. Replace it with the desired label and press down
on the label holder until the selections menu is fastened in place.
Once the necessary operations have been made, restore the cover and the cups container
back to their correct position.
2.7. Installation of optional kits at the base of the
machine.
Various optional kits may be installed at the base of the machine, kits
such as autonomy equipment (batteries), filters for softening water,
coolers, etc. This equipment must not exceed 450 mm in height from the
base.
Also can be installed, on the door, different types of payment
mechanism. Consult your dealer about approved mechanisms for your
machine.

CHAPTER 3. FILLING THE MACHINE
3.1.- Initial filling with soluble product.
Lift the cover of the hopper to be filled and fill with
product. Be careful that the product filled corresponds
to product for that hopper (each hopper has a label
that indicates the product to be filled).
Recommendation: The ramp on which the product
falls from the hopper should be turned upwards to
prevent unwanted product spillage.
When the product has been loaded, close the hopper
lid, position the ramp suitably and proceed to load the
next hopper.
Filling sugar in the door module
Lift the cover of the sugar hopper on the door as shown in the
photograph and fill with product.
3.2.- Filling with coffee beans
Remove the hopper cover and dump the content of the coffee package inside until the desired
measure is reached.
If you prefer to take the hopper out of the machine in order to fill it more comfortably,
remember that the hopper flow gate (2, Fig. 2) must be closed in order to prevent the content
of the hopper from spilling.

3.3.- Filling with cups
Remove the cover of the container and (T) load a column of
cups through the top opening of the tube.
For a proper extraction of the cups, these must comply with
the following dimensions:
Cup type Øe Øi ØL e d g
003 ± 34 ÷4542 ÷113 18 ÷24≤38g
On your machine, on a label over the extractor, you will find identified the cup type that you
can fill.
-14 -
Load stir sticks.
Do not remove the seal on the pack of stir sticks until they are in the
channel. Make sure that the stir sticks are the right size.
If loading for the first time, remove the transport seal from the extractor
mechanism.
The length of the stir sticks to extract depends on the type of extractor
installed (90 mm or 105 mm) and they should be between 1.25-mm and
1.35-mm thick.
3.4.- Filling the returner tubes.
See the start-up manual of the payout unit installed.
3.5.- Initial filling with water
All of the machines automatically fill the boiler when the machine is started
3.6.- Initial programming
The machine will be sent with the programming predefined byOne-Touch Drinks. In order to
modify any of the values of the functions, enter the basic menu (see 5.6) and program
the new functions.
Recommendation: It is a good idea to identify each machine in order to record
accounting, consumption, incidents, etc. Function 470 is available to programme said
code.
ATTENTION: THE ACTIONS DESCRIBED IN POINTS 3.4, 3.5 AND 3.6 MUST BE
PERFORMED WITH THE MACHINE “ON” AND THE DOOR OPEN. THEY MAY ONLY
BE PERFORMED BY TECHNICAL PERSONNEL AUTHORISED BY One-Touch Drinks.
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE, ENSURE THAT THE MACHINE HAS A WATER
SUPPLY FOR FILLING THE BOILER (check the connection to the water supply
system or verify that the water tank is filled)

The machine has a portable keypad with four keys with which it is possible to
control the machine during both normal operation and while programming the
functions.
4.2.- Programming control unit

4.5.- Service programming.
4.5.1.- What is a service?
Aservice is the act that the machine performs every time that a customer presses a selection.
When programming a service, each step that the machine needs to take to complete the selected
operation must be programmed.
For example, to prepare instant coffee with milk, several actions must be performed:
1 - Pour hot water into the cup.
2 - Add coffee and stir
3 - Add sugar.
4 - Add milk.
5 - Mix.
It is also a good idea for the actions to overlap each other in order to shorten the service time
and to get the optimum mixture.
The service sequence of coffee with milk in the machine could thus be stated as follows:
4.5.2.- Function 315 PROG. SERVICE.
The complete configuration of each service can be programmed at function 315.
Select the service to be programmed by pressing the corresponding selection button or using
the A and B keys to locate the service.
The following may subsequently be performed:
MODIFY an already-programmed step.
ADD a new step to a service, or
DELETE a step from a service.
If the option, MODIFY A STEP, is selected, the machine will display the CONFIGURATION
SCREEN of the step:

Change the values using the programming control keys. The functions of the keys are as
follows:
A or B - Go up or down the "steps"
C or D - Increase or decrease the amounts (move the bar forward or backward in the figure)
The water volumes are measured in seconds.
To Delete a step or to Create a new one, simply select the desired option using the B key and
press D.
Also if the machine detects that a product has been programmed without water after a step
has been recorded, you will be notified with a message. If there is an error, you will need to
reprogram the step.
WARNING!
AFTER CHANGING THE COFFEE DOSAGE, OR AFTER ADJUSTING THE COFFEE
GRIND, CHECK TO SEE IF THE SERVICES ARE CORRECT, INCLUDING THE "EXTRA
COFFEE" PRESELECTION COMBINATIONS.
DO NOT EXCEED THE DOSAGE OF 8 GRAMS OF COFFEE IN THE SERVICES USING
THIS PRESELECTION.
