Steam out
The machine enters in Steam-Out mode by pressing in sequence B4, B2, B5, B3 (drawing like an “S”) in the
first two seconds after inserting the plug into the socket. (Please make sure to avoid any serial connection
on Main board white connector).
Once entered the machine checks the following conditions:
The Ntc sensor must work correctly; if there is a failure on NTC (Ntc disconnected or in short circuit) the
operation cannot be performed and the L26 will blink (turn off the machine and repair before do Steam-
out operation).
The DREGDRAWER must be in place and the DOOR must be closed; if someone is not in place the operation
cannot be performed and the L25 will blink. To start again the operation insert drag drawer and close
service door.
If these 2 conditions are respected the machine will start automatically the Steam Out process showing L18
and L20 flashing in series.
If, during the Steam Out, the Door is opened or drag drawer is removed L25 will be switched on.
To start again the operation insert drag drawer and close service door.
At the end of the procedure L25 and L26 turns on.
When the Steam-Out is complete the following parameters are reset to their default values:
