Microswitch
When the machine is switched on, the gear motor repositions itself as follows:
- It acts on microswitch 1 (see following chapter).
- The gear motor changes its rotation direction and moves upwards again by approx. 1-2 mm.
- The boiler begins to heat the water for approx. 45 sec., at full power, in order to reach the
optimal temperature. The temperature will then remain at a constant level.
1. The coffee grinder starts the grinding process (controlled by pulses generated by a sensor).
2. The gear motor (brewing unit) moves to the brewing position.
3. Preliminary dispensing phase (short pump activity, short pause).
4. Product dispensing (the pump operation period is defi ned by the amount of product dis-
pensed).
5. The gear motor moves to its home position (the dregs are expelled automatically).
