Starting Up the Automatic Feeder 4 Starting Up the Automatic Feeder 4.1 Filling the Boiler with Water Warning: Before switching the heating on, fill up the boiler with water, otherwise the boi- ler will be damaged. There will be no guarantee for a reliable functioning of the automa- tic feeder.
Starting Up the Automatic Feeder Do not put paper or other foreign matter into the powder hopper. For those models being equipped with a lid protection, check the following: - - The lid of the powder hopper has to keep the fuse switch pressed. - - In case the lid should not be mounted properly, the milk powder will not be dispen- sed.
Starting Up the Automatic Feeder The thermostat for minimum operating temperature is activated as soon as the water tempe- rature in the boiler falls below the preset temperature. The minimum operating temperature has always to be 3 C below the boiler heating tempe- rature, in order to avoid overlapping in the adjustment range.
Functionality 5 Functionality 5.1 Program Switch Positions 1 = Option 2 = Mixer ON 3 = Water conveyance When the pressure tube is located outside the mixer, the water will flow incessantly. 4 = Automatic mode The powder, the water and the mixer are activated simultaneously. The water tank or the pressure reducer are intended to ensure constant flow velocity.
