MINUTO 01 INTRODUCTION
Simply turning off the main machine power switch is not an adequate safety precaution.
This domestic appliance is rated as insulation class I.
On completion of the repair work, insulation and dielectric rigidity tests must be
performed.
Disassembling the machine, the operator must pay attention to hot and under
Pressure parts: boiler, pin-boiler, valves, dispensing, steam tube, brew unit,
connections and pipes to avoid burns. Please refer to specific hydraulic circuit
(Image1) to know the parts in detail.
The machine hydraulic circuit can reach maximum pressure of 16/18 bar.
To operate in safety condition is recommended to perform the Steam Out procedure in
order to remove the pressure and hot water inside the hydraulic circuit.
When the machine arrives at the Service Center in descaling mode interrupted, or making Descal-
ing , be very careful not to come into contact with the Descaler.
After the product has been repaired, it should function properly and has to meet the safety re-
quirements and legal regulations as officially laid down at this moment

MINUTO 02 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
2.2.1. Specification for the measurement of the coffee products temperature.
The temperature is influenced by the flow from the dispenser and stratification of temperatures in
the glass. In order to consider these phenomena and to introduce measures that allow comparisons
in controlled conditions, below guidelines must be followed:
Conditions:
a) Water temperature in tank: 23°C (+/-2°C).
b) It must be used a plastic cup (see picture N°1).
c) It must be used a thermocouple thermometer (e.g. type K - see picture N°2).
d) The coffee machine is tested without any change of parameters or calibrations, which may
affect the temperature of products, so the measurement of temperature must be done with
machine in default factory setting.
Procedure:
1. The temperature must be measured in the cup, immediately after dispensing. Cup has to be
placed on a non-metal surface using a thermocouple thermometer (Picture 1).
2. The temperature in the cup is measured by immersing the probe of the thermometer up to touch
the bottom.The probe then must be moved in a circular motion for 5/6 rotations. At the of the rota-
tions, stop in the center of the cup (Picture 2).
3. The highest temperature measured during the rotations is the value we are searching for, and
that must be reported;
4. Test measurement: from end of dispensing to the end of rotations must be completed within 12
seconds.
5. the distance of the probe from the bottom of the glass is a function of the quantity of coffee dis-
pensed: 10mm for 35gr - 17mm for 60gr - 35mm for 120gr and superior (Picture 3).
Limits of acceptability
The acceptance limits are divided by features and products and are the following:
Ø max 2mm

MINUTO 02 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
2.2.2. Specification for the measurement of the Milk products temperature.
Milk evaluation
To carry out the test, a partially skimmed UHT milk with a percentage of grease between 1.5-1.8%
at a refrigerator temperature Trefr. (between 4 to 10°C) must be used.
The milk product must be checked on a beaker of 250 ml of capability and with an inner diameter
of 70mm, brewing 100gr of product.
Parameters to be respected:
The parameters to be respected are: milk temperature and height of the cream. Each of these pa-
rameters, however, must be evaluated depending on the type of system used for the production of
hot milk. Actually three types of devices are present on the appliances:
• Manual system (pannarello)
• Semi-Automatic system (cappuccinatore)
• Automatic system (carafe, Pinless wonder system, etc.)
AIR
MILK FROTH
MILK
Automatic system: carafe, cappuccinatore, Pinless wonder e.g. (New Royal, Energica Pure, Intelia
EVO latte) ≥ 20mm on 100gr. of brewed product
1. The measurement is carried out in the beaker, immediately after the end of milk brew, positioned
on a non-metallic surface, using a thermocouple thermometer (eg. Type K). Stop the preparation
of mixed product: at the end of milk brewing, where “One Touch product” function is present.
2. The temperature is measured by immersing the probe of the thermometer, positioning the probe
inside the beaker at about 10mm from the bottom of the container, then the probe moves in
a circular motion for 3-5 turns, stopping at the end, at the center of the beaker. It detects the
maximum temperature reached in a time of relief between 3 to 5 seconds. It is important the
mixing of milk before the measurement at 10mm from the bottom of the beaker. If the mixing is
correct, temperature, for a few fractions of a second, during the measurement should not oscil-
late.

MINUTO 02 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
How to measure the milk cream.
The temperature (Trefr or Tamb) of the milk doesn’t affect as much the test result on measuring
the milk cream; by convection is assumed to always use milk at refrigerator temperature Trefr..
1. Open the steam knob to discharger water circuit for 4 sec, then close the knob.
2. Place the beaker with the frother dipped in milk, open the steam knob to maximum and
start the chronometer.
3. After about 30 to 60 seconds, close the knob and check the result on milk.
1. Open the steam knob to discharge water circuit for 4 sec. then close the knob.
2. Insert the silicone tube in the milk container, placing a beaker of 250 ml capacity and with
an inner diameter of 70 mm under the cappuccino maker and open the steam knob.
3. After having provided 100gr. of product, close the knob and check the result obtained on
milk. Note: The same applies to machines which have a steam key on the user interface
and a solenoid valve in place of the steam tap.
Automatic: Carafe, Cappuccino Pinless wonder (New Royal, Energica Pure, Intelia EVO
Latte), etc..
After setting the machine to delivery of 100gr. of product:
In case the machine allows modify of the emulsion through the menu, use the machine with the
emulsion set to the default value.
Related to the above testing procedure derives the following table of acceptability:
NB: To verify more accurately the height of the cream, a practical expedient dictated by expe-
rience is to add to the product just delivered a small amount of coffee. The addition of coffee
immediately put in evidence the surface of separation between liquid and cream.

Switching on
When the machine is switched on, the gear motor repositions itself as follows:
- It acts on microswitch 1 (see following chapter).
- 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.
Coffee cycle
1. The coffee grinder starts the grinding process (controlled by pulses generated by a sensor).
2. The gear motor (brewing unit) moves to the brewing position.
3. Preliminary dispensing phase (short pump activity, short pause).
4. Product dispensing (the pump operation period is defined by the amount of product dis-
pensed).
5. The gear motor moves to its home position (the dregs are expelled automatically).

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.

The coffee grinder is driven by a direct current motor (1) using a worm screw helicoidal wheel
transmission (2).
The worm screw (2) drives a plastic gear wheel (3), which turns the lower grinder (4) and the
increment pin (5)
There are two magnets (6) in the gear wheel; at every rotation these induce two pulses to a Hall
sensor, which in turn transmits them to the electronic system.
4.9. Low bean level detection, dose quantity adjustment, coffee grinder
blocked
No coffee
Without beans n=100%
V t1 A low coffee bean level is detected by the Hall sensor,
after variations in the pulse frequency (with or without
coffee).
If there are no coffee beans (operation while empty),
the number of rotations – and therefore the number of
pulses – will be greater.
t2 With beans n=100%
t1 = no coffee indication
The algorithm compares the maximum average value of the power consumed by the gear motor
with the value listed in the table for the selected aroma, in order to calculate the new grinding
pulse value for the next coffee produced.
If the power consumption value is less than the minimum current value, the grinding pulses will
be increased by 2.
If the power consumption value is greater than the maximum current value, the grinding pulses
will be decreased by 4.
If the power consumption value falls within the “over-torque” interval, the product will be dis-
pensed and the grinding pulses will be decreased by 10.
If the power consumption value falls within the “abort cycle” interval, the dreg will be expelled
and the grinding pulses will be decreased by 10.
If the “pre-ground” flavour is selected by the user, no modification will be made.
This guarantees that, regardless of the coffee type used, the grinding level setting
and the wear on the grinders, the ground coffee dose always remains constant.

Important:
For perfect operation, machine adjustment should take place in the area of the fields
highlighted in green (A, B, C). When the type or brand of coffee is changed, there may be
variations in the size of the beans and their stickiness or roasting level. This leads to variations
in power consumption (mA), with resulting excessive or insufficient doses (until the necessary
adjustments have been made to compensate for this change).
Caution: In the case of excessive dosage, powder may be expelled into the dreg
drawer. This is not a fault, but can occur during preliminary operation or after a
service.
