Fig. 8
3.4 Safety devices
The vending machine is equipped with:
- a safety switch (Ref.17) which cuts out the voltage to
all the inside components any time the front door is
opened.
- a safety switch located on the dispensing outlet door,
which blocks the nozzle arm cycle whenever the door
is opened.
Maintenance Technician
In case of programming or setting up operations only the
Maintenance Technician can intervene by inserting the
relevant key into the safety switch (Fig. 7) and resetting the
voltage even if the door is open.
Warning
This operation, necessary for starting up the vending
machine, disables the safety system.
It must therefore be carried out by qualified personnel
(Maintenance Technician) aware of the risks resulting from
the presence of live or moving components.
3.5 Residual risks
The dispensing outlet is protected by the door interlocked
by the safety switch.
If it is opened during the brewing cycle, mechanical
movement is blocked, but if brewing has already started,
it continues up to the end of the cycle.
Warning
Risk of scalding if hands are placed inside the outlet during
brewing.
It is forbidden to open the door and take out the cup or put
hands inside the outlet during dispensing, before the brewing
cycle is complete (Fig. 8).
Before removing the cup from the outlet, please wait for the
message “REMOVE CUP” on display.
Important
If the outlet door is opened during the brewing cycle, the
message “CLOSE SERVICE DOOR” will be displayed;
the nozzle arm stops and will not restart until the door is
closed.
It is not possible to brew further beverages if the previous
cup is not taken out (see the “Dispensing outlet microswitch”
menu item).
Before brewing another beverage, check that the previous
one has been taken out and that the cup support is empty.
