OptiFresh (Bean) NG 2.4.2 Grinder (OptiFresh Bean) • There are two factors that affect the output of the coffee grinder. The set grinder duration (2.1 Quick recipe pro / Coffee) and the grinding fineness of the coffee grinder. • When the coffee grinder is set coarser, the volume of the grind increases. • When the coffee grinder is set finer, the volume of the grind decreases. • Only increase the coffee grinder fineness when the grinder is running! Adjustment from fine to coarse can be done when the grinder is stationary.
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 2.4.3 Coffee Waste Hand dry (ideal) When the coffee waste is wiped from the filter it must be hand dry. The wiper wipes the coffee residue easy from the filter into the waste bin. Too wet When the coffee residue is too wet the brewer must use high force to wipe the wet residue from the filter.
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 2.4.4 Troubleshooting Problem Probable cause Action OptiFresh: Prevent overdosing, use a ‘fresh brew’ coffee quality. This quality has coffee particles which are much smaller to shorten The used coffee is too the extraction time. course. Coffee does not taste strong enough.

OptiFresh (Bean) NG Component Image Model OptiFresh NG is executed with a fresh brew canister (pre-grinded coffee) Fresh brew canister [03400] The coffee canisters is powered by a 130RPM motor. The coffee is forced out of the canister by a coil and drops through the dispens-...
OptiFresh (Bean) NG Component Image Cup detection sensor [1003231] Reflection infrared sensor. This sensor can optionally build in the machine door. This sensor checks whether there is a cup / mug positioned under the (correct) spout. See chapter 3.3 Cup detection for operation. Ingredient and mixer system Each of the ingredient canisters is driven by a motor running at 130 rpm.
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.3 Cup detection (optional) The sensors detect the presence of a cup below the coffee outlet of the beverage dispenser. Coffee is only prepared when a cup has been placed. Also the outlet for hot water is equipped with a cup sensor.
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.4 Fresh brew group The fresh brew group consists of a fresh brew unit [ 4 ] and an drive unit [ 5 ]. The drive unit carries a DC gear motor with drives the fresh brew unit (Pre)grinded coffee [ 3 ] and hot water [ 4.1 ] are dispensed onto the permanent filter [ 4.4 ] and are drawn trough the filter by a piston [ 4.5 ] (vacuum).
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.4.1 Operation After making a fresh brew drink selection the following process starts: Position Action When the cycle is started, the piston starts moving upwards, while the brew chamber Start moves down (closing) to create a seal between the bottom of the chamber and the top of the cylinder.
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.4.2 Wiper tension adjustment If a leak occurs between the brewer chamber [ 2 ] and the permanent filter [ 4 ] the tensile force of the brewer needs to be increased. The tensile force of the brewer should be set so that no water is able to leak between the brewer chamber [ 2 ] and the permanent filter [ 4 ]. The tensile force also ensures that the wiper [ 5 ] completely pushes the coffee residue off of the...
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.4.3 Wiper adjustment tips Wiper tension correct (ideal) If the brewer is adjusted correctly, the wiper moves carefully over the upper side of the cylinder and pushes the coffee residue off of the permanent filter. The wiper bends slightly. When the wiper moves to the right the coffee residue is transported to the waste bin.
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.4.4 Removing the brewer group The brewer can be entirely removed for thorough cleaning and service. Removing the brewer: 1. Open the door of the machine and press the open/ close brewer button [1]. The brewer will turn into the ‘open’...
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.5 Drive unit The fresh brew unit [1] is driven by drive unit [2] with a 24Vdc motor 5 RPM [2.1]. On the output shaft is a plastic connector [2.3] which drives the fresh brew unit [1]. A micro switch [2.5] controls the position of the fresh brew unit.
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.5.1 Operation After making a fresh brew drink selection the following process starts: Position Brewer Switch unit contact The software always checks if the fresh brew unit is in its initial (start) position when the machine is switched ON. Start If the plastic connector is in position B, the drive unit will be powered until the micro switch falls into the plastic...
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.6 Grinder (OptiFresh Bean) The grinder is driven by a powerful DC motor [2.6]. The upper grinding disk [2.2] is fixed. The lower grinding disk [2.3] is driven by a drive belt [2.4]. The grind fineness can be set with an adjustment screw [2.5]. When the screw is turned clockwise, the distance from the upper grinding disk reduces; anti-clockwise it increases. The ground coffee leaves the grinder via the coffee outlet [2.1]. A rubber flap prevents the entry of moisture. Major parts Technical data Material 1. Bean canister Content 2.5 kg 2.
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.6.1 Basic adjustment The coffee grinder is factory set for an average grind fineness. WARNING • Keep your fingers away from the grinding mechanism when the machine is in operation. WARNING • If there is a sound of two stones rubbing against each other, make the grind coarser. • The grinding disks must never come into contact with one another. • The grind fineness and grind capacity depends on the type of coffee beans and the roasting.
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.6.2 Service life The service life of the ceramic grinding disks is approximately 3x longer than steel grinding disks. The service life depends on the type of coffee beans* and is approx. 3,000 kg of coffee beans. With an average measure of 7.5 g/sec.
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.6.5 Drive belt replacement Coffee grinder housing disassembly 1. Remove the bean- and instant canister [1] and remove the cover plate [2] behind it. 2. Disconnect the electrical connections to the small coffee grinder circuit board (via the rear wall). 3.
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.6.5 Cleaning Depending on the fineness of the grind and the intensity of use, coffee residue collects in the grinder housing and on the grinding disks (fine particles, coffee oil, cof- fee residue), which can affect the grinding capacity, the measuring accuracy and also the taste. 70gr Cleaning frequency To guarantee a constant grind quality, it is recommended to clean the coffee grinder at least every 6 months.
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.7 Instant group The instant product (ingredient) is pushed out of the canister [ 1 ] by a worm screw and falls via the dispensing nozzle into the mixer unit [ 3.4 ]. At the same time, hot water is dispensed into the mixer unit.

OptiFresh (Bean) NG level regulation When a drink is being dispensed the water level drops and the maximum level electrode [1.2] is released; the inlet valve [1.7] (2.5 litres/min.) opens and immediately refills the reservoir until the maximum level [1.2] is reached again. If the water level falls under the minimum level electrode [1.3] during operation, the operating panel display will show [ boiler filling ].
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.8.1 Dispensing valves After a drink has been selected one of the dispensing valves [DV] opens and lead the hot water to the brewer or mixer system. The flow rate of each valve is adjusted by means of the adjusting screw [2.5.3] on the valve. The outflow quantity is determined by the time that the valve is opened. If the valve closes, the output [2.5.2] aerated [2.5.1] so that the supply hose to the brewer and mixer are always completely emptied.
OptiFresh (Bean) NG 3.8.2 Removing / replacing The hot water dispensing valves are accessible by dismantling the cover behind the ingredients canisters. 1. Switch off the machine. 2.
