6. Either push the probe through the Teflon sealing or push the probe with Teflon sealing back into
its fitting.
The short probe (operational level) should raise 45 mm above the outside of the boiler.
The longer probe (minimum safety level) should be pushed in as far as possible.
7. Fasten the inner nut of the probes. Do not use a lot of force as the Teflon will just give in and you
may keep on fastening.
8. Connect the electrical wires to the probes: orange is safety level, white is operating level.
9.
Switch Mirage “on”, the boiler may start to top up automatically.
10. Check for proper operation:
a. no power to heating element until safety level is reached (pull orange wire from probe to
check, the elements should be disengaged now)
b. boiler stops filling when operation level is reached
c. leakage.
11. Remount cup warmer.
Note!
When the probes are mounted “in reverse”, the machine may react “normal” until water level drops
below the short (upper) probe (which now acts as safety level probe). While checking/cleaning the
probes, no water has been used and it is possible that the short probe is touching the water in the
boiler after remounting. When water level decreases below the upper probe, the heating elements will
be disengaged as the controller gets the signal that water is below the safety level. The machine will
not fill up at this stage because the long (lower) probe (now acting as operational level probe) sends a
signal to the controller that water level in the boiler has reached operational level.
