Firstly, the gearmotor is initialised. The gears move to MS1 (lower limit switch), change rotating direction, leave MS1 and move to the home position (about 2 mm after MS1). Exception: Royal Classic – process as for Vienna (moves to brewing position and back / see Vienna).
Page 66
If one of the thermal fuses is compromised or the heating plate is defective, the gearmotor also does not function. Exception: The Royal Office does not have a heating plate. The gear resistor is the small resistor on the instantaneous water heater. Page 20/22 REV.4 SEPT.2003 Saeco International Group...
Page 67
Cooling can be achieved by dispensing hot water. The pump functions at maximum output and the heating remains turned off as long as the temperature indicator flashes (R. Classic) / Overheating signal remains on (Royal Digital/Exclusive). These measures ensure that the cooling process is accelerated and the overheating signal will disappear after a few seconds (only in machines without Instant or Rapid Steam).

If the dosing microswitch is not activated within 20 seconds from start of the grinder motor, the coffee beans low signal appears. The dosing quantity is set automatically by shifting the doser housing wall together with its microswitch. Page 22/22 REV.4 SEPT.2003 Saeco International Group...
