Reference Drawings
1
Step2 - Pause
Once the piston has reached its top point, it pauses to allow the
coffee to brew to the appropriate strength. At the end of the pause
time, a shot of water is dispensed to clean the brew chamber.
3
Step1 - Rise of the Piston
The ground coffee and the water are dispensed into the
brew chamber during the rising of the piston. This action
compresses the air in the cylinder and forces it through the
coffee mixture in the brew chamber, thereby agitating the
brewing coffee.
Step3 - Descent of the Piston
2
12
The descent of the piston creates a vacuum allowing to extract
the coffee from the grounds through the filter paper and into
the cylinder. The piston makes another pause time allowing
all the coffee to drain from the brew chamber.
4
Step4 - Coffee Delivery
The piston follows its course, heading to its lowest point. Distribution
of coffee through the spout begins once the piston has lowered below
the coffee spillway. Meanwhile, the brew chamber lifts to allow the
filter paper to move and discard the spent grounds into the internal
waste bin or coffee chute.

3.6 Hot Water Tank
Access the water tank by removing the back panel.
Make sure the equipment is unplugged when servicing.
If the error message ''Low Water Level in Tank'' is frequently displayed or if the
heating element power supply has been cut out by the water tank safety part (it
happens when the heating element turns ON while there is no water in the tank), the
water tank needs to be opened to detect any damaged or defective part. Check the
following parts: motors behind the water tank, wires around the water tank, water
inlet and water tank parts (inside the tank).

3.8 Water Temperature
This equipment has a water temperature setpoint of 200°F to ensure a consistent beverage
quality. There is a +/- 2°F tolerance.
This data represents an average and will not correspond to the temperature of a manual
measurement. The actual water temperature fluctuates because cold water is added to the
tank after every beverage delivery and time is needed to heat the new incoming water up to the
setpoint.
Water’s brewing temperature can also be taken manually by ordering a cup of hot water and
measuring its temperature with a thermometer. There may be a slight difference from the tank
reading. This is normal.
If the temperature measurements show a large temperature differential, verify that the tank is clean
and not obstructed by mineral deposits and scale.
The electronic thermostat is managed by the main board.
Reference Drawings
Unit Safety Measures
In the event of a temperature probe failure, water in the tank might start to boil, causing it to
overflow into the overflow drip tray. The machine will be automatically shut off, but the screen will
remain ON.
If the heating element goes ON and there is no water in the tank, the heating element power
supply is cut out by the water tank safety part. The water tank needs to be opened to detect any
damaged or defective part. Check the following parts: motors behind the water tank, wires around
the water tank, water inlet and water tank parts (inside the tank).

7.3 Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions
It is important to clean and sanitize the machine on a regular basis. In order to maintain the
highest beverage quality and to ensure the customers’ safety, all parts in contact with food must
be cleaned and sanitized regularly. Hands must be washed before handling any parts or other
commodities such as cups and stirrers.
Cleaning and sanitizing should be done in separate phases as prescribed by health regulations and
hygiene standards of the industry.
Cleaning: Remove any visible soil, stains or impurities, including food soils, oil or mineral deposits
that could alter the beverage taste and quality.
Sanitizing: Sanitizing ensures the customers’ health safety by killing bacteria remaining on the
surfaces after cleaning.
There are two (2) sanitation methods:
1. Chemical antibacterial treatment.
2. Hot water treatment (between 170°F and 212°F).
Cleaning and Sanitizing
Always unplug the unit before cleaning the machine. DO NOT spray water on
electrical parts.
For the sanitation process to work effectively, the parts must be cleaned and free of visible soil
before sanitizing them. The sanitized parts must then be completely rinsed and air dried. Wiping
the parts with towels or cloths might lead to recontamination of sanitized food-contact surfaces.
Frequency
Two (2) important variables need to be considered when evaluating the cleaning and sanitizing
frequency:
- Product consumption.
- Water quality.
The expected customer usage varies from one location to another. It is therefore
recommended to follow the cycle counts in order to prevent omissions. It is also
recommended to verify each part listed in this section upon each service visit and
clean them as needed.
ENCORE 29 Rev. 3 09-2017
55
Page 56
7.4 Recommended Cleaning Tools
In order to perform the cleaning procedure effectively, Cafection recommends having at least the
following tools on hands:
- Bucket.
- Small brush for tubes and nozzles, suitable for food-contact surfaces and hot water.
- Brush for coffee grounds, suitable for food-contact surfaces.
- Disposable towels, wet-strength and lint-free.
- Mild non-abrasive detergent for exterior cleaning.
- Urn cleaner for brew groups and grinders.
- Spare parts to swap with the ones that need to be sent to Cafection for extensive cleaning.
7.5 Cleaning and Sanitizing Schedule
The cleaning schedule and instructions outlined in this manual must be followed to honor the
warranty, ensure consistent product quality and maintain a high level of health safety.
SERVICE & INSTALLATION MANUAL - Encore 29

7.7.3 Waste Bin
Frequency: daily or every 200cycles
After each coffee cycle, the spent
grounds and used filter paper are
automatically discarded into the waste
bin. To prevent the bin from overflowing,
an automatic function disables coffeebased beverages and displays a
message on the screen (see image).
When using the internal waste bin provided with the unit, Cafection recommends
setting the counter to a maximum of 40cycles using standard 8, 10 and 12oz cups.
If the setting is too high, the wasted filter paper could jam in the brew group and
damages may occur.
Cleaning and Sanitizing
Setting the maximum counter to zero (0) disables the automatic function and may
cause an overflow issue if the waste bin is full.
The equipment will not dispense coffee beverages until the bin is emptied and the counter
is reset. The counter settings can be adjusted in accordance to the size of the waste bin in
the System1 sub tab, under the System tab in Service mode (see section 6.6.1).
How to empty the cabinet’s waste bin
1. Open the cabinet’s door, below the brewer.
2. Open the brewer’s door and remove the front panel.
3. Cut the filter paper4" below the brew group with scissors or tear gently. DO NOT
YANK ON THE PAPER!
4. Remove the filled garbage bag from the waste bin and replace it with a new one.
5. Reinstall the front panel and close the doors.
6. Access Service mode and press the "Reset Waste Bin" button.

10 TROUBLESHOOTING
There are two (2) types of service messages: Warnings and Errors. Warnings will temporarily disable some
features, while errors put the coffee brewer out of order.
10.1 Warning Messages List
Filter Paper Roll Empty
The unit is out of filter paper. All coffee-based recipes will be temporarily disabled on the selection
screen. Only hot water and soluble drinks will be available. Install a new filter paper roll (see
section4.9).
Advanced tech tip: the status of the filter paper sensor can be monitored using the
green LED DS34 and 35 on the main board of the machine (see annex3).
Rinse Required Soon
The number of drinks served has reached the "Rinse at" parameter set in Service mode (see
section 6.6.1). All drinks will continue to be dispensed. The warning will be displayed on the screen
until a rinse cycle is performed on the machine (see section7.1).
Waste Bin Full
The number of coffee drinks served has reached the "Waste bin max" parameter set in Service
mode (see section 6.6.1). All coffee-based recipes will be temporarily disabled on the selection
screen. Only hot water and soluble drinks will be available. Empty the waste bin and reset its
counter (see section6.2).
Brew Group Starting Position Switch Error
The brew group failed to detect its starting position. The following parts might be defective:
- Brew group motor.
- Cam switch or pin of the dog drive wheel.
- Brew group starting position switch.
Remove the brew group assembly from the coffee machine. Press the "Activate Brew Group"
button on the error screen. The brew group motor will be activated and will stop when the brew
group starting position switch hits the hole in the cam switch. It will then be possible to verify if the
parts are working properly.

Troubleshooting
Water in the Overflow Tray.
Verify if there is water in the overflow tray and make sure no water is touching the two (2) water
probe wires.
Advanced tech tip: the status of the water probes can be monitored using the green
LEDDS30 (see annex3).
Low Water Level in the Tank.
The water tank failed to fill completely within the prescribed time. The water inlet valve is
deactivated for safety reasons.
- Maximum filling time is four (4) minutes when the power switch of the coffee brewer has been set
to the ON position.
- Maximum filling time is two (2) minutes after the first tank fill.

the machine uses a waterline filter, it might be worn out and needs to be replaced.
Press on the "Restart Filling" button on the error screen to restart the tank filling process.
Water Tank Not Full. Please Wait While Filling (1 to 3 minutes).
After setting the power switch of the machine to the ON position, this message will be displayed
until the water tank is full.
Water Temperature Not High Enough. Please Wait.
The machine will display this message and stop dispensing drinks if the water temperature of the
tank drops below the "Warming up (F)" temperature set in Service mode (see section 6.6.1). To
disable this feature, set the warming up temperature to 0.
