during the last 3 minutes through the milk or instant coffee
mixers, a small amount of hot water is dispensed before
the short coffee, instant milk coffee and espresso milk
coffee selections.

of drinks dispensed.
CUP SENSOR

of a photocell that detects the presence of an object in the
dispensing compartment.
When this function is activated, if an object is detected in
the dispensing compartment, the cup is not released and
the display indicates the message “No cup".
It is also possible to define whether, after two cup release
attempts without having the photocell detect any objects
in the dispensing compartment, the failure is to lock the
machine or leave it for dispensing with a ceramic cup.
RETAINED SLIDER
The machine can be fitted with a magnet that keeps the
drink dispensing compartment slider lifted for a certain
length of time. The time starts from the sound signal at the
end of dispensing and can be set to 0 to 15 seconds. In
any case the slider is released at the beginning of the next
selection.

selection price change and the percentage change in
product dose.
If the cup sensor is fitted, the slider is retained for a
programmable length of time (0 to 30 seconds, 2 by
default) from picking up the drink.
