6.11 Programming of dispensing keys

All the dispensing keys and
are equipped with a self-learning memory.

Once they are programmed, they supply the same drink quantity
at every subsequent command.

6.12 Grinder adjustment

Grinding adjustment changes according to the Country in
which the machine is utilized and according to the coffee
blend utilized. It is a most important operation to obtain the
correct density and cream quantity in the drink dispensed.

Their programming is obtained as follows:

- machine on and ready for use;

- container positioned under the dispenser;

- press and hold down the key to be programmed (or re-pro­grammed) until the drink reaches the desired level;

- the display will show "PROGRAMMING";

N.B.: The message displaying is accompanied by the sound of
an, intermittent buzzer.

allows the dispensing of the programmed dose.

The programming of the keys implies at east one dispensing in­stance for each machine key.

N.B.: The programming of key is obtained through function
"HOT WATER PROGRAMM." in "ON" mode (see "6.14 Menu­programmable functions").

N.B.: The button can be programmed by pressing the jug
button first and then by pressing (and keeping pressed) the
button till the beverage reaches the desired level.

Important

Even if the machine is cut out, it keeps the programmed
data in memory.

12

The grinding has been set during the testing phase according
to standard values, but adjustment modification is possible in
any case.

- Open the front door (ref. 13, fig. 1-10), rotate the knob
(ref. 18, fig. 10) anti-clockwise to obtain finer grinding (the
index moves towards a lower value), or clockwise to turn
to a coarser solution (the index moves to a higher value).

Important

Depending on the coffee blend utilized, fine grinding
(index on low values) increases the density and
