Sezione 5 Part 5. Basic Operating Principles
The powered machine is normally in the stand-by mode. When a button is pressed, a vend cycle
starts. If a sale price is pre-set (i.e. the machine is not pre-set for the free vend mode), before
selection the required amount of money must be inserted by means of coins, bank notes or other.
According to the selection required and to the model of the machine, the vend cycle is composed
by some of the following procedures.
5.1 Dispensing and positioning of the cups
If it is not disabled by pressing the special prebutton "Without cup" (if
available), this procedure is carried out before all vend operations are
started.
Through the action of the unclamping servomotor, the cup is detached
and falls in the appropriate support;
5.2 Dispensing of sugar
This supply is pre-set only for the models of machine equipped with the sugar dispensing group
(models E) in the event sugared beverages being selected. For the other models, always when the
beverage requires it, the sugar is dispensed simultaneously with the preparation of the instant
beverages and with the same procedure (see after).
1) The geared motor activates the screw
feeder in the sugar canister which
pours the correct quantity of sugar in
the dispensing unit;
2) The servomotor of the dispensing unit causes
the slide movement and the following pouring
of the sugar in the cup.
5.3 Preparation of hot beverages from soluble ingredients
This procedure is usually carried out after the cup is correctly positioned under the outlet pipes of
the beverage. More than one procedure of this sort can be carried out simultaneously or in
sequence during a vend cycle.
1) Only in Version Ethe pump which loads water inside the water refilling tank is activated;
9/9

Manual CE (SAGOMA _GB)
2) When the solenoid valve corresponding to the boiler is activated, the preset quantity of water is
poured to dissolve the ingredients;
3) If supplied, the mixer motor is activated;
4) The geared motor activates the screw feeder, in the canister of the corresponding ingredient,
which pours the correct quantity of ingredient in the mixing bowl. More than one canister of
ingredients can be activated simultaneously for the same mixing bowl;
5) If present, the motor of the mixing bowl is switched off;
6) The solenoid valve correspondingl is switched off.
5.4 Preparation of the espresso coffee
This procedure is carried out only in the models equipped with the espresso coffee group (Version
E) and after the cup is correctly positioned under the outlet pipes of the beverage. The execution
priority between this procedure and the procedure for the preparation of hot beverages from instant
ingredients is pre-set by the programme of the machine and varies according to the selection
chosen.
1) The coffee grounds are ejected (this can occour also after 10 minutes of rest of the micro
coffee group) and the group moves to receive the coffee dose;
2) The electromagnet of the coffee
throw dispensing unit is activated and
the canister is open. The correct
quantity of ground coffee flows by
gravity in the brewer of the espresso
coffee group; *
3) The coffee grinder is activated until the pre-
set quantity in the throw dispensing unit is

according to the selection chosen.
1) The geared motor activates a screw feeder, which pours the pre-set quantity of ground coffee
into the coffee group;
2) The coffee group moves to brewing position: this occurs when the group movement motor is
started. The upper filter moves upwards to close the brewer and press the pre-set quantity of
ground coffee;
3) The water coming from a water-refilling tank means of a pump. After the activation of a
solenoid valve, the same quantity of warmed up water is then conveyed to the coffee group.
4) The coffee grounds are ejected and the group returns to rest position: this occurs when the
group movement motor is started. The upper filter moves and opens the brewer. The coffee is
ejected by the combined action of the lower filter and the ejection blade.
5.6 Dispensing of the stirrer
This procedure is carried out only in models equipped with stirrer feeder (Version E), and it is
carried out when the cup is correctly positioned under the outlet pipes for the beverage vending.
The stirrer can be dispensed before or after the preparation of a beverage, according to the
machine programme and selection made. Furthermore, a programmable function allows the user
to pre-set selections for which the stirrer is to be dispensed.

- turn the bracket by 180° and fit it again to the machine by means of the appropriate screws
previously removed;
- move the machine near the wall until the bracket rests against the wall;
- regulate the feet placed under the machine for a correct levelling: there must be less than 2°
offset of the machine vertical axis with respect to the vertical axis of
the wall;
- drill the wall with a diameter 8 mm pin, using the bracket as drilling
template;
- fix the bracket to the wall by means of the screw anchors supplied in
the waste disposal bucket.
M.P.R. declines all responsibility for any shortcomings caused
by non compliance with installation instructions.
If the machine is installed on delicate or valuable floors, it is advised
to lay a carpet under the machine, about 80 cm larger than the
machine itself, made of rugged material, resistant to dirt and water
(e.g. synthetic laminate). This is to protect the floor and also prevent
it to get dirty for the accidental spilling of beverages.

Sezione 9 Part 9. Connection to the mains water supply and to the electrical supply
9.1 Connection to the mains water supply
Before proceeding to the connection carry out the following checks on the water to be used:
- Make sure that the water supply is of drinking quality possibly through certificate of a laboratory;
- Make sure that water mains pressure ranges from 1 to 8 bar;
- If the mains pressure is lower than 1 bar, a pump must be installed;
- If the mains pressure is higher than 8 bar, a pressure reducer must be mounted, calibrated at 3
bar, on the water connecting hose of the machine; in any case the mounting of a pressure reducer
is advisable in all installations where high pressure peaks occur.
If not already existing, install a 3/8" gas tap to exclude the machine from the mains source in case
of emergency.
Connection of the tap to the machine must be made with a copper or plastic hose, which has been
approved for food contact use and resistant to operating pressure not lower than 10 bar.
Make sure that the water is free of impurities and does not feature excessive hardness (higher than
20 French Degrees). This shortcoming can be solved using normal water softeners. The SAGOMA
machines, models Eand FB, are complete with a standard water-
softening filter. The models Hcan be provided with an optional filter.
Lime scale can be notably reduced by the use of the filter, ensuring a
longer life of all components in contact with water and reducing
maintenance.
Carry out the connection on the inlet coupling of the water softener
or, should the filter not be mounted, directly on the inlet coupling of
the water inlet solenoid valve.
The water softener and the water inlet solenoid valve are both
provided with a 3/8" gas male inlet coupling.
If a water softening filter is mounted, the water hardness must be
taken (special kits are available for sale) in order to define how often
the filter shall be regenerated. This depends on the rate of use of the
filter and on the grade of water hardness (see section "Regeneration
of the water softener filter").
9.2 Connection to the electrical supply
Make sure that the grounding of the electrical mains to which the machine
will be connected is in good conditions and in compliance with domestic
and European standards concerning electrical safety.
The machine is equipped with a power supply cord H50VV-F 3x1.5 mm2
with Shucko plug.
Make sure that the electrical mains voltage is the same as indicated on
the identification sticker of the machine and that the current rating of the
plug is suitable for the current absorbed by the machine. The identification
sticker is put inside the machine and can be seen opening the door. For
connection, an electric plug, single-phase, 230V 50 Hz, for a maximum
load of 15A is required.
Any type of plug, which is incompatible with the socket of the machine,
must be replaced.
Do not use adaptors or multiple plugs.
