The touch pad has 4 programable buttons (from left to right: 1 short coffee/espresso, 1 long
coffee/americano, 2 short coffees/espressos, 2 long coffees/americano) and a fifth button of a
Continuous
Brewing
(button with a “C” or “Star” on it).
This Continuous Brewing button has 2 main functions:
1- It allows the user to make a continuous brewing of coffee.
2- It permits the user to enter into the programming mode to control the dosages of each button.
In the first case, the buttons permits a continuous coffee extraction, i.e. it starts when pressing the button
and only stops when pressing again. It is very important to read the following warning.
IMPORTANT:
In case to use the “C” button (
Continuous Brewing
) to make coffee, make sure it does not keep activated too
long. In fact, 30 seconds are more than enough to make a long coffee (the so-called ‘americano’ coffee), so we
Strongly recommend to not use it more than 30 straight seconds.
In case we want to use the “C” button to make several long coffees (with a minimum of 30 seconds each), we
should not make more than 30 long coffees/hour, and then let the button rest a minimum of 2 - 5 minutes.
If the “C” button kept activated for a long period of time and with no control of the user, the machine would run
out of hot water in the group heads, would be disabled for some time to make coffee again and it would need
some time to get back into the proper functioning regime. In addition, letting the “C” button activated for long time
would cause severe damages to the machine.
These damages can always vary, but a lack of water coming from the net as a consequence of a wrong use of
the “C” button could overheat and damage the pump. And on the contrary, a never ending leak of water coming
out from the group heads with no control of the user could cause severe damages and losses to the local, either
is a possible flood or sparks as a result of possible contact between water and electricity.
So, just remember to use the “C” button under a strict control of the user.
Advice: It is always preferable to use the 4 programmable buttons to make coffee.
In the second case, the Continuous Brewing button permits the user to enter into the programming mode
to control the dosages of the 4 programmable buttons. We must follow these steps to program the dosage:
2.1- Press the “C” button on the first touchpad (always starting from left side) and keep it pressed
until the buttons of the touch pad blink.
2.2- Press the dose button you want to adjust (1Short, 1Long, 2Short, 2Long) and the water will
start coming out from the group.
2.3- When the volume is what you want the dose to be, press the dose button again and it will
keep automatically programmed.
2.4- Repeat steps 2.2 and 2.3 to modify the other dose buttons. (We recommend following this
process with the filter holder filled with coffee, to ensure that the final quantity is what you desire to cup
to be).
2.5- When finished, press the “C” button to exit the programming mode and turn off the machine
to keep the changes. The left touch pad is the master, so if the machine has 2 or 3 groups, the
programming will stay the same on the right touch pads. Now you can turn on again the machine. Do the
same process on each touch pad in case you want to program different dosages per touch pad.
