SWITCHES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS

Coffee groups general switch (ON/OFF) (A): When the switch is moved to ON, this switches on the coffee group. If the Coffee Group Light (C) is off, the coffee group is ready for delivery; if it is on, the temperature is not optimum and it is preferable to wait a few seconds until the light switches off before the next delivery.

Coffee brewing switch (B): Pressing it will deliver the coffee; pressing it again will stop the delivery.

Stand-by light (D): The machine has been designed to respect the environment and reduce energy consumption when not in use. After 15 minutes of inactivity the machine will automatically shut off and the standby light flashes. To restore normal operation of the machine turn the ON / OFF switch (A) and turn it back on after 3 seconds.
