1.3.3 Position switches

When the machine is switched on, the software checks
the espresso group by running it through a complete
cycle.

the position of the espresso group.

espresso group is in the Brew position (brewing coffee).
Switch [2] checks (grey lever, left) whether the espresso
group is in the Load position (¿ lling ground coffee).
