ADJUSTING THE MEASURED DOSE OF GROUND COFFEE
The dose measurer should be cleaned regularly to prevent conglomerated blocks of coffee on the cross bars
from affecting the dose measurer setting.
The machine is factory-set for a measure of approximately 7g.
1. Turn the machine on and allow the dose measurer to fill up.
2. Draw off 4 to 5 measures; the machine should restart.
3. Wait for the machine to stop and then draw off another 5 to 6 measures.
4. Measure the mass (weight) of the measures after that.
5. Tighten the thumb-wheel (8) by turning in a clockwise direction (right-handed thread) to reduce the quantity
of ground coffee per measure (the thumb-wheel is adjusted in half-turns) (fig. D).
6. Loosen the thumb-wheel (8) by turning in an anti-clockwise direction (right-handed thread) to increase the
quantity of ground coffee per measure.
7. Draw off more than 6 measures for the adjustment to be taken into account.
CLEANING
IMPORTANT:
• In every case, the machine should be stopped and the machine’s power supply cable (10) unplugged.
• Cleaning with a water spray or pressure spray is not permitted.
Clean the dose measurer properly using a brush. Make sure that the walls of the coffee delivery conduits and
the 6 branches of the cross-bars are always clean.
MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any work on the machine, it is essential to unplug it from the mains and to discharge the
motor starting capacitor.
IMPORTANT: Use of spare parts other than certified original SANTOS parts is prohibited.
DISCHARGING THE CAPACITOR
• Unscrew the 2 screws located under the machine in the middle of the base plate (fig. E).
• Pull the electrical components unit (20) out of the base plate.
• Using a screwdriver with an insulated handle, touch the 2 capacitor connections (15). The sight of an
electric arc shows that the capacitor has been discharged.
