Switching on
When the machine is switched on, the gear motor repositions itself as follows:
- It acts on microswitch 1
- The gear motor changes its rotation direction and moves upwards again by approx. 1-2 mm.
- The boiler begins to heat the water for approx. 45 sec., at full power, in order to reach the
optimal temperature. The temperature will then remain at a constant level.
An NTC is used as a temperature sensor; in the event of overheating this reduces boiler element
power consumption.
The electronic system detects the current boiler temperature from the drop in voltage of the
sensor and adjusts it accordingly.
Heating element values and corresponding temperatures
: see table.

gear wheel and when a coffee is requested, it
moves from the standby position to the dis -
pensing position, and then back to the stand -
by position again.
