18. Steam dispensing
The steam lever offers some special features that make it extremely useful.
"Purge" function
One of the most interesting features is the "Purge" function,
which makes it possible to eliminate any condensation
that may have formed when a medium/long period of time
passes between steam dispensing.
To activate the "Purge" function, push the steam lever
upwards and keep it in this position for several seconds.
When the lever is released, it automatically returns to the
starting position.
Modularity
Another valuable function offered by the steam lever is
modular dispensing.
When the steam lever is pushed towards the cup tray, there
are 2 different positions for the lever, offering two different
levels of steam intensity:
- position V1 (half way): 50% strength, to heat medium/
small amounts of beverages
- position V2 (fully up): 100% strength for large amounts
of beverages.
