Procedure to follow at the end of the working day on all groups or when signalled by the machine.

COFFEE CIRCUIT CLEANING CYCLES

The purpose of the flushing cycle is to remove all traces of grease and scaling deposited when the coffee is dispensed. Failure to flush out the circuit will allow these deposits to solidify. This will impair the qualitative performance of the coffee circuit.

NOTE: the following operations must be carried out when the machine is on and pressurized.

Groups of DT version with display

COFFEE CIRCUIT

ATTENTION, RISK OF SCALDING: During the wash cycles, hot water and steam will exit from the groups.

If the machine sends the warning message, "EXECUTE COFFEE WASHING" will appear on the display.

This request will continue to appear for one hour or until the wash cycle is performed.

The coffee circuit can be washed in different ways:

simultaneous: all groups are washed at the same time.
- sequential: each group is washed separately and in sequence. It is therefore possible to continue using the groups not involved in the washing process;

Note: The simultaneous washing mode lasts 7 minutes. The single washing mode lasts 7 minutes for each coffee dispenser group.

A third type of washing cycle can also be carried out:

single: The washing cycle can be made on a specific group without having to wash the remaining ones. Groups not involved in the washing cycle can still be used during that time.

Note: The single washing cycle cannot be carried out if the machine launches a warning message.

Note. Once the wash cycle is underway, it CANNOT be stopped, even if the machine is switched off.

If there is a power failure, when power is returned the message "EXECUTE WASHING" will be displayed. Complete the cleaning operations as described previously.

Note: If no wash-cycle messages appear and the machine is used frequently, a wash cycle can be

performed at any time:
