1. INTRODUCTION The information provided in this manual is intended to assist in the installation and maintenance of the Marco Mix Boiler range. Please read the instructions carefully to prevent accidents and ensure an efficient installation. This manual is not a substitute for any safety instructions or technical data affixed to the machine or its packaging.
4. INSTALLATION 4.1 Mix Boiler Installation Electrical Installation: • Electrical specification: 2.8kW-230VAC-50/60Hz • A moulded 13A IEC power cord is provided. This should be plugged into the IEC connection on the rear of the boiler and plugged into a suitable 13A power outlet. •...

5. BOILER SETUP 5.1 Operating Boiler for the First Time • Check that all installation procedures have been carried out. • Ensure water valve is on. • Plug boiler into suitable socket. • Turn on the power switch. • The “wait” progress circle will be visible on the screen and the machine will fill to a safe level, above the elements, before heating.
7. MENU NAVIGATION There are 3 menu ‘levels’ to the Mix Boiler settings. Level 1 – User Settings Level 2 – Advanced Settings Level 3 – Engineering Settings Enter by pressing all 3 Enter by pressing all 3 Enter by pressing all 3 buttons simultaneously buttons simultaneously buttons simultaneously...
7.2 Advanced Settings (Hold all 3 buttons simultaneously for >3 <6 seconds) Screen 1 Screen 2 Setting Options Descale Weeks OFF, 1-60 weeks – When set to a week period, a message will appear on screen to descale after that time period has elapsed. Filter Litres OFF, 500 –...

7.3 Engineering Settings (Hold all 3 buttons simultaneously for >6 seconds) The options available in the Engineering settings are usually only required during factory assembly and are mainly related to the functionality of the multi-temp software control. In the instance where some install locations differ wildly from normal (eg extremely hot or cold incoming mains water), or if a component such as a PCB or inlet solenoid has been changed, this set of options will allow for corrections to be made so that the control software functions properly.
7.4 Dispense Calibration Procedure (in Engineering Settings) The Dispense Calibration procedure should only be run if the machine has had major component change, such as PCB or inlet solenoid that requires calibration settings to be re-done. 1. Default settings for a PB3. Press Go! 2.
8. ROUTINE MAINTAINENCE/INTERNAL ACCESS Maintenance should be carried out by Marco approved technicians only. 8.1 Top Lid Removal: 1. Remove the screw in the top lid with a suitable slotted screwdriver. 2. Rotate lid from the front edge upwards and remove.
8.3 Draining the tank: 1. Turn off machine and disconnect from mains power. 2. Allow to cool sufficiently to avoid burn risk. 3. Place machine so that the rear of the machine is located next to a sink or a bucket large enough to hold the full contents of the tank.
8.4 PCB replacement: 1. Remove Top Lid & Side panels as per sections 8.1 and 8.2. 2. Disconnect all wiring connected to the PCB. 3. Remove two cross headed screws with a suitable screwdriver shown in the picture below. 4. Pull Upper front Fascia Panel upwards to remove from the machine. 5.
8.5 Dispense Solenoid or Pump replacement: 1. Remove Upper Fascia Panel as per section 8.4. 2. Undo 4 retaining screws as shown in picture below. 3. Then pull the plastic panel directly outwards from the machine. (For PB versions, push the silicone dispense nozzle through the hole –...
To disconnect a pump in a UC version: (CAUTION - make sure tank is drained fully first as per section 8.3!) 1. Disconnect all wires connected to the pump 2. Pull the silicone hose off the outlet side of the pump. 3.
8.7 Tank Lid Sub-Assembly Removal To remove the Tank Lid sub-assembly (with element, thermistor & level probes attached): 1. Disconnect machine from mains power and allow to cool! 2. Remove Outer Lid as per section 8.1 and right hand side panel as per section 8.2. 3.

6. Once the heater element is just over half way out of the tank, start to angle the sub-assembly towards the rear of the machine, and begin to pull the forward bent section of the heating element out of the tank opening. 7.
8.8. Heater Element Removal 1. Remove Tank Lid sub-assembly as per section 8.6 2. Undo the two 18mm lock nuts and slide the heater element tabs through the holes in the lid. 8.9 Thermistor & Level Probes - Cleaning & replacement There are 3 probes (low level, high level and descale/overflow) on the Mix Boiler range.
8.10 Triac Replacement 1. Disconnect the machine from mains power. 2. Remove the left hand side panel as per section 8.2. 3. Disconnect all wires to the Triac – making note of the correct wiring terminal connections 4. Undo two retaining screws as located in the picture below. Correct triac wiring (as per wiring diagrams): 1000870,871,875,878,879,880,887 MIX Service Manual.b Page 34 of 69...
8.11 Inlet solenoid Replacement 1. Disconnect machine from mains power and allow to cool completely. 2. Drain tank fully as per section 8.3. 3. Remove right hand side panel as per section 8.2 4. Disconnect all wires and hoses to the inlet solenoid. 5.
8.12 Pump Power Supply (UC versions only) The power supply for the pump is mounted underneath the Tank Support. There are two possible versions of power supply fitted in slightly different locations. Power supply 1 is fitted to UC3’s with serial number <0517xxxxxx. Power supply 2 is fitted to UC3’s with serial number >0517xxxxxx.
8.13 De-scaling the tank: Descaling the tank in the Mix range is a little different to other water boilers as the boiler now includes a collapsible funnel for pouring in the pre-mixed descale solution. 1. Disconnect machine from mains power supply and water supply. 2.
