TALEA / ODEA - LINE 04 FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLES
To turn on:
When the main switch is activated, the gearing mechanism searches for its original position •
and moves downwards into the Microswitch (MS) (with cam 1, see the following section).
The gear motor changes the direction of rotation, moves back up and stops approx. 1 - 2
mm after leaving the microswitch.
The continuous-fl ow heater then starts to heat the water for approx. 45 seconds to reach •
the operating temperature,
40 seconds of which is spent at full heating power and the rest is spent recycling the power.•
Coffee cycle:
1. The coffee grinder starts the grinding process (pulse-controlled).
2. The gearing mechanism (brewing unit) moves to the brewing position.
3. Then the prebrewing begins (brief pumping activity, then a quick break).
4. Brewing procedure (length of the pumping activity, depending on the coffee quantity
selected).
5. The gearing mechanism moves to its original position (brew grounds are automatically
ejected).
