Continuous/stop cycle key Existing functions: 1. Stop an infusion in progress 2. Start a continuous cycle (without dosing) manually 3. Extend a dose manually at the end of a cycle. 4. To have a 3 programmable cup volume (volumetric), when the cycle is started with the continuous key.
Page 27
For a machine with the Dosamat system, functions 4 (3rd dose) and 5 (Barista rinsing) will be compatible. The distinction will be made by the presence of the filter holder: With the filter holder engaged = 3 dose / without filter holder = Barista rinsing. Function 4 = 3rd dose: “Continuous key = 3 dose"...
In all events: The "continuous" key can stop a cycle that is running at any time, and should remain lighted during cycles, and also can be used at the end of the cycle to allow the dose to be extended. The 150 second safety limit is also maintained.
