tors, such as the temperature and ventilation of the room
where it is installed, the inlet water and boiler temperature,
etc.
Under average conditions, and namely:
- ambient temperature: 22° C
- boiler temperature: 93° C
- inlet water temperature: 18° C
- average water dose per selection: 93 cc
the following power consumption resulted:
- to reach operating temperature 53 Wh
- for each hour of stand-by 110 Wh
- for each selection (average) 7.65 Wh
The above power consumption calculated from average
data should only be taken as an indication.

INSTALLATION
Installation and the following maintenance operations
must be carried out by qualified personnel only, trained
in the correct use of the machine and informed on the
specific risks of such operations.
The machine must be installed in a dry room, where
the temperature stays always between 2° C and 32° C.
At installation it is necessary to completely sanitise
the hydraulic system and all parts in contact with food,
in order to eliminate any possible bacteria formed
during storage.
UNPACKING THE VENDING MACHINE
After removing the packing, check that the machine is not
damaged.
If in doubt do not use the machine.
No packing elements (i.e. plastic bags, polystyrene
foam, nails, etc.) should be left within the reach of
children, as they are potentially dangerous.
Packing materials must be disposed of in authorized areas
only, and all recyclable materials must be recovered by
specialised companies.
Important notice!!
The machine should be positioned with a maximum incli-
nation of 2°.
If necessary provide proper levelling by way of the adjust-
able feet included (see Fig. 3).
INSERTING THE LABELS
The menu and instruction labels, as well as the self-
adhesive labels to identify the product containers, are
supplied with the machine and must be inserted or at-
tached at the time of installation (see "selection dose"
table).
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 (0,5-8,5 bar).
Run some water from the mains until it is clear and without
impurities.
Use a hose (also available as a kit) capable of withstanding
the water mains pressure and suitable for use with food-
stuff (min. inside diameter of 6 mm) to connect the water
supply to the union (3/4" gas) of the water inlet solenoid
valve (see Fig. 4).
It is good practice to install the water supply tap
outside the machine in an easily accessible position.
OVERFLOW DEVICE
The water inlet solenoid valve (see Fig. 4) is equipped with
an overflow device mechanically preventing the water from
flowing in, if there is a malfunction in the solenoid valve
itself or in the control device of the boiler water level.
To restore normal operation, proceed as follows:
- drain the water contained in the overflow pipe;
- shut off the water supply tap outside the machine;
- loosen the union which secures the solenoid valve supply
tube to relieve the water mains residual pressure and
then tighten again (see Fig. 4);
- open the tap and switch the machine on.

CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO
THE POWER SUPPLY
The machine is designed to operate under a single-phase
voltage - 120 V~ 60 Hz - and is protected by 15 A fuses.
Before making the connection make sure that the ratings
correspond to those of the power grid, and more specifi-
cally:
- the supply voltage rating should be within the limits
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 main switch, the power outlet and the plug should
be located within easy reach.
The electrical safety of the machine is ensured only when
it is correctly and efficiently 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 cable is of the type fitted with a fixed plug.
Any replacement (see Fig. 5) should be done by qualified
personnel only, using exclusively cables of the type UL
SJT 3x16 AWG.
CONTROLS AND INFORMATION
All user controls and information are located on the exter-
nal side of the door (see Fig. 6).
The labels with the selection menu and the instructions
supplied with the machine must be inserted at the time of
installation, referring to the selection dose table.

switch key inserted, and therefore by qualified per-
sonnel ONLY, informed about the specific risks of
such situation.
The door can be closed only after removing the key.
Do not leave the machine unattended with the key
inserted!
FILLING THE WATER SYSTEM
When switching the machine on, if the air-break signals no
water for more than 10 seconds, the machine will automati-
cally start an installation cycle, and namely:
- the display will show "Installation" for the entire duration
of the cycle;
- the water mains solenoid valve is opened or the water
supply pump is started;
- the air-break is filled;
- an instant product solenoid valve is opened so that air
may be bled from the boiler and 600 cc. of water is filled.
N.B.: If there is no water flow during the installation cycle,
the machine will lock until the water is resumed or the
machine is switched off.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!
This operation must be carried out manually in ALL
VERSIONS after any maintenance requiring the boiler
to be emptied but not the air-break.

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.
The machine has all electrical prearrangements for the
installation of MDB payment systems, and namely:
- coin accepter or "validator"
- change-giver coin mechanism or "changer"
- bill accepter or "bill validator"
- key/magnetic card reader or "cashless"
that can be used in various combinations.
Compatibility for the housing of the payment systems
must be checked by the installer under his own re-
sponsibility.
When switched on, the machine goes through a routine
check to determine which payment systems are actually
installed and that consequently will be configured.
MAINTENANCE AND DISINFECTION
According to current safety rules and health regulations,
the operator of automatic vending machines is responsible
for the hygiene and the maintenance of the foodstuff
circuits, to prevent formation of bacteria.
At installation the hydraulic circuits and the parts in
contact with foodstuff should be fully sanitised to
remove any bacteria which might have formed during
storage.
It is advisable that specific sanitising agents (such as
chlorine-based detergents or similar) are used for cleaning
also the surfaces which are not directly in contact with
foodstuff.
Some parts of the machine can be damaged by strong
detergents.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any dam-
age resulting from non-compliance with the above instruc-
tions or caused by the use of strong or toxic chemicals.
Always disconnect the machine from the power sup-
ply before starting any maintenance operations re-
quiring parts of the unit to be removed.
SANITISING THE MIXERS
AND FOODSTUFF CIRCUITS
When installing the machine, and then at least once a week
or even more frequently according to the use of the
machine and the quality of the inlet water, the mixers and
the instant drink dispensing conduits must be thoroughly
disinfected, to guarantee proper hygiene of the dispensed
products.
The parts to be cleaned are:
- powder deposit drawers, mixer and instant drink dispens-
ing conduit;
- coffee dispensing spout;
- sugar chute;
- dispensing compartment.

OPERATION OF THE COFFEE UNIT
COFFEE DISPENSING CYCLE
When selecting coffee, the grinder is started and will
continue until the coffee doser chamber is full (see Fig. 18).
When the doser unit is full, the ground coffee dose is
released into the coffee unit.
The coffee falls into the vertical brew chamber (1) (see Fig.
15).
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. 16).
Due to the water pressure, the pre-brewing spring (5) sinks
and the lower piston (4) goes down 4 mm, thus forming a
water cushion which allows an even use of the coffee dose.
At the end of the dispensing cycle and during a pause of 3
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.
By completing its rotation, the ratiomotor makes the swing-
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
To get the best results from the product used, the following
should be checked:
For coffee
That the used coffee dose is lightly compressed and damp.
The grade of grinding of coffee.
The dose in weight of ground coffee.
The dispensing temperature.
The water dose.
For instant products
The dose in 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
temperature are directly controlled by the microprocessor.
To adjust them it is therefore necessary to follow the
programming procedures.

STANDARD SETTINGS
The vending machine is supplied with the following set-
tings:
- tea temperature (at the spout) approx. 85÷89° C;
- instant product temperature (at the spout) approx. 75° C;
- operating pressure 4 bar max.
ADJUSTING THE BREWING
CHAMBER VOLUME
When the upper piston is correctly positioned, the coffee
unit can operate with coffee doses of 5.5 to 8.5 g.
To change the piston position (see Fig. 17) do as follows:
- remove the snap ring from its seat;
- place the piston in the appropriate adjusting notches:
.less deep notches for 5.5 to 7.5 g doses;
.deeper notches for 6.5 to 8.5 g doses.
ADJUSTING THE GRADE OF GRINDING
When a variation in the grade of grinding is desired, turn
the relevant adjusting knob on the grinder (see Fig. 18)
and more specifically:
- turn the knob anticlockwise for coarser grinding;
- turn the knob clockwise for finer grinding.
For optimum results, it is advisable to vary the grade of
grinding with the coffee grinder motor running.

5 - Reference notches
N.B.: After adjustment of the grade of grinding, at least
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
The dose adjusting lever can be positioned in one of the 6
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 (see Fig. 15) and replaced into a different groove
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. 19).
WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
If requiring to change the boiler temperature, adjust the
special trimmer (see Fig. 22) keeping in mind that:
- tightening will increase the temperature;
- loosening will decrease the temperature;
- the temperature varies by approx. 1° C every 2 turns.

MAINTENANCE
Important notice!!
Access to the machine interior for maintenance and/or
repairs is via the back panel.
Therefore, provisions must be made for the machine to be
rotated, thus allowing removal of the back panel.
The integrity of the vending machine and its conform-
ity with the rules and regulations in force for its
relevant systems must be checked by qualified per-
sonnel at least once a year.
Switch the machine off before any maintenance op-
erations which require removal of components.
The following operations must be carried out only by
personnel who have the specific knowledge of the
machine functioning from a point of view of electrical
safety and health regulations.
INTRODUCTION
To ensure perfect operation for a long period, the machine
must be subjected to regular maintenance.
The following sections contain the procedures and the
maintenance schedule, which are only a general indica-
tion, as they greatly depend on the operating conditions
(e.g. water hardness, environmental humidity and tem-
perature, type of product used, etc.).
The procedures described in this chapter are not exhaus-
tive of all maintenance operations to be carried out.
More complex operations (e.g. boiler descaling) should be
carried out by qualified technicians only having specific
knowledge of the machine.
To prevent oxidation or the action of chemical agents, the
stainless steel and varnished surfaces should be kept
clean by using mild detergents (solvents must not be
used).
Never use water jets to clean the machine.
BREWER UNIT MAINTENANCE
Every 10,000 selections or every 6 months some mainte-
nance to the brewer unit must be carried out.
Maintenance is carried out as follows:
- remove the boiler teflon hose connection from the upper
piston, paying attention not to lose the seal (see Fig. 18);
- undo the knob securing the unit to the bracket;
- remove the brewer unit.
Removing the upper filter
- Take the snap ring out of its seat;
- remove the piston from the crosspiece;
- remove the filter and the piston seal.
Removing the lower filter
- Loosen screws A and B enough to release the coffee
funnel (see Fig. 18);
- remove the lower piston snap ring;
- take the piston out of brewing chamber and remove the
filter.
Soak all components removed from the unit in a solution of
boiling hot water and coffee machine detergent for approx.
20 minutes.
Thoroughly rinse and dry all parts, then reinstall them in the
reverse order of disassembly, taking particular care that:
- the piston is positioned in the correct notch for the coffee
dose used (see relevant section);
- the two reference notches match and that the coffee unit
is inserted.
Important notice!!!
Check that the handle pin of the ratiomotor is correctly
engaged in its seat.

ANNUAL SANITISING
At least once a year, or more frequently according to the
use of the machine and the quality of the inlet water, the
entire foodstuff circuit system must be cleaned and sani-
tised in the following way:
- all parts of the hydraulic system in contact with food,
including the hoses, must be removed from the unit and
fully disassembled;
- wash all components with detergents, ensuring that all
visible residue and product films are mechanically re-
moved using brushes or similar tools, if necessary;
- all components must be soaked in a sanitising solution for
at least 20 minutes;
- the machine internal surfaces are to be cleaned with the
same sanitising solution;
- Thoroughly rinse and then reinstall the parts.
Before restarting the unit, the same sanitising proce-
dure described in section "Sanitising the foodstuff
circuits and the mixers" should be repeated with the
components reassembled.
