Calibration of product dispensing

Calibration is performed in two cases - before starting the machine into operation and when replacing the products used during operation. To perform the procedure, you will need a measuring cup and kitchen scales.

Primary calibration includes:

  • Checking the water dosage;
  • Checking the powder dosage;

AnyDesk is used for remote connection to the machine. Ask technical support for credentials to connect to the machine. Remote connection requires internet access.


Errors and solutions

List of machine errors:

Error 1 No Water

Error 18 Wrong recipe


Question: Drinks disappear from the screen. After reboot they showed at display, but immediately disappear.

Answer: Check products remains ​​in the service menu. When the product remains reaches low values ​​(less than 5 dosages), the machine hides the drink from the selection.


Question: The machine shows error 1 No water, water has just been replenished.

Answer: After refilling/replacing the water tank, it is necessary to bleed the system to remove air. Use mixer washing buttons 1 and 2 in the service menu. Press CONTROLLER REBOOT. After servicing the machine, it is recommended to do a test brew to check stable operation. A more detailed description of the error is available in the manual Error 1 No Water.


Question: Mixers often get clogged with powder. Why does this happen?

Answer: There may be several reasons:

  • Incorrect assembly of mixer units - read the assembly manual and watch the service training video;
  • Poor cleaning of mixers, filling hoses and fittings;
  • Incorrectly selected dosages of the drink - follow the recommendations for adjusting the dosages;
  • Insufficient water pressure in the system (see Error 1 No Water and setup instructions);
  • Poor quality of powder - loss of flowability (lumps form), dampness due to improper storage. The presence of solid particles, crumbs, pieces of dry fruit in powders can also lead to frequent blockages even with regular maintenance.

Question: After turning on, the screen flashes different colors, but there is no image.

Answer: Press the TURN ON service button.


Question: The machine reboots immediately after cooking starts. What should I do?

Answer: Disassemble and wash the mixer units, check the correct assembly of the parts.
