If the espresso flows too quickly into the cup, the beans may have  
been ground too coarsely. The grinder should be adjusted to a finer  
setting.  
ƒ
If the espresso only trickles into the cup, the beans may have been  
ground too fine and the coffee will be bitter. The grinder should be  
adjusted to a coarser setting.  
ƒ
ƒ
If the crema is evenly colored but pale, the ground coffee is too  
coarse.  
If the crema is very dark brown on one side, graduating almost to  
white on the other, the ground coffee is too fine.  
Note:

Door Switch  
The door switch, removes power to the appliance when the door is  
opened. Refer to Figure 4-1 – Door Contact Switch (S24).  
Figure 4-1: Door Contact Switch (S24)  
4.2  
Overflow (Reed) Switch  
The overflow switch is in the lower section of the appliance case.  
The float with magnet is located in the drip tray. Should a leak develop,  
water flows into the drip tray. The float with magnet then rises and  
activates the overflow reed switch which in turn causes the electronic  
control to switch the unit off.  
Note:  
When the Service Mode is accessed, the top line of the display shows  
the switches that are activated. An “A” will be displayed if the Overflow  
Switch is actuated. (i.e. water present in the bottom of the appliance)  
Refer to Section 6 for more information on the Service Mode.

Brew Unit – Cleaning and Care  
The Brew Unit is a mechanically operated component that is subjected to  
high forces. After a long period of use, the Brew Unit may become  
clogged. To ensure correct operation of the Brew Unit, it is essential to  
clean it regularly and apply silicone grease to the moving parts. Refer to  
Section 5.0 – Service and Maintenance for further information and  
procedures.  
4.4  
Brew Unit Removal from the Appliance  
The brew unit must be in the home position (refer to Figure 4-2) before it  
can be removed from the appliance.

Brewing Procedure  
1. The grinder fills the dispenser housing until full (as determined by the  
dispenser switch).  
2. The grinder is then switched off.  
3. The dispenser flap opens twice (two clicks) via the dispenser solenoid  
assembly.  
4. The ground coffee then falls into the brew unit via the funnel.

5. The drive tilts the percolator chamber and raises it to the brewing  
position. The ground coffee is compressed between the Top Filter  
(Item 2) and Bottom Filter (Item 5).  
6. Water then flows through the Water Nozzle Socket, (Item 4). The  
pump forces the hot water through the Brew Unit and the compressed  
grounds (Pos 3). Coffee exits the top of Brew Unit via the Outlet (Item

CVA615 Coffee System  
Technical Information  
When the water tank is installed, and contains at least 30-33 ounces of  
water; the Water Level Switch is activated and its contacts close.  
If the water quantity drops below the minimum quantity, the water level  
switch is no longer activated and the contacts open.  
After the switch opens, the water passing through the water pump is  
registered via the flowmeter and recorded by the electronic unit as up to  
27 ounces of water is still available.  
After the 27 ounces is calculated as being used, the display shows “Fill  
water tank”. To prevent the water pump from running dry, about 3 – 7  
ounces of water remains in the tank.  
If the appliance is placed into the service mode the top line of the display  
shows the switches that have been activated. A “7” is displayed when the  
water tank is installed and filled with water. Refer to section 6 – Service  
Mode for further information.

The grinding grade depends on the gap between the Grinding Cone and  
the Grinding Ring.  
The gap is set via an adjustment lever fitted to the adjustment ring.  
The smaller the gap, the finer the coffee grind.

By adjusting the dispenser lever (Figure 4-15, Item 1), the position of the  
switch slide, in the dispenser container is modified. This changes the  
volume of the dispenser container and hence the quantity of ground  
coffee that it can hold before it is full. Each slider setting alters the coffee  
quantity by approx. 0.5 grams.

CVA615 Coffee System  
Technical Information  
The grinder fills the dispenser container with ground coffee. When the  
dispenser container is full, the dispensing switch is actuated and the  
grinder motor is switched off.  
Figure 4-16: Dispensing Lever  
To fill the brew unit - the dispensing solenoid is energized twice and the  
dispenser flap opens twice. The ground coffee drops from the dispenser  
container into the brew unit.  
If the dispenser container is not filled because, there are no coffee beans  
in the bean holder; the dispenser switch is not activated. The display then  
shows “Fill coffee beans”.  
4.14  
Dispenser Switch  
The service mode can be used to check whether the dispenser switch is  
activated. With the appliance in the service mode, the top line of the

Water Pump  
The pump is self-priming and can develop a pressure of up to approx. 16  
bar. For espresso preparation a pressure of approx. 8 bar is required so  
that the water can be forced through the compressed ground coffee. A  
further increase in pressure does not improve beverage quality.  
The pump is fitted with a safety valve which opens at 16 bar system  
pressure. If pressure is too high, water is passed from the safety valve via  
a hose  
The pump is connected in series with a temperature limiter. The  
temperature limiter interrupts the power to the pump should a high  
temperature develop.  
Flow Meter  
All water taken from the water container flows through the flow meter. The  
flow meter passes signals to the electronic unit proportional to the  
quantity of water passing through it.  
The electronic unit then establishes the quantity of water that has flowed  
and stores the figure. Approx. 300 pulses from the flow meter indicate a  
flow of 3 ounces of water.  
The electronic unit controls the required water quantity for beverage  
preparation and ensures that it remains constant. The service mode can  
be used to check the proper operation of the flow meter. See section 6 –  
Service Mode for further information.

Flow Through Heaters  
The Coffee Flow Through Heater (Figure 4-19 – Hot Water / Coffee  
Heater) has a large heater element; and a small heater element. The  
Steam Flow Heater has only one heater element (refer to figure 4-20 –  
Steam Heater)  
Each Flow Through Heater has a Positive Thermal Coefficient (PTC)  
Temperature Sensor that provides a signal to the electronic unit for  
temperature control. In addition, a Thermostat is connected in series with  
the heater element. Should the temperature become too high, the  
Thermostat interrupts the power to the heater element.

Technical Information  
As a final measure each heating circuit uses a temperature safety fuse  
(Figure 4-20 – Item 3). In the event the temperature became too high due  
to a fault, this fuse blows and cuts the power being supplied to the heater  
element. Should this fuse blow, the cause must be located and resolved  
before the fuse is replaced.

Water Intake  
The Pump takes in water from the water tank. (The Pump is fitted with a  
safety valve which opens at approx. 16 bar (232 psi) system pressure. If  
the pressure is too high and the safety valve opens, water is drained off  
via a hose to the drip tray).  
4.20.2

Water Path - Coffee  
The water is then pumped under pressure through the Flowmeter, and  
through the Coffee Flow Through Heater. The water is then passed  
through the Water Valve, into the Brew Unit.  
Water Path – Hot Water  
The Pump moves water under pressure through the Flowmeter, and  
through the Coffee Flow Through Heater. The water is then passed via  
the Hot Water Valve to the Hot Water Outlet.  
Water Path – Steam  
The pump moves water under pressure via the Flowmeter and through  
the Coffee Flow Through Heater. When the user selects steam; the  
Electronic energizes the Steam Valve. Water continues flowing through  
the Steam Flow Through Heater. Steam is then dispensed from the  
frothing nozzle.  
43  
 
CVA615 Coffee System  
Technical Information  
4.21  
Water Valve  
The Water Valve is attached to the output of the Coffee / Hot Water Flow  
Through Heater. The valve is in a normally closed position.  
When the Brew Unit is driven into the brew position the valve  
mechanically opens and water is supplied to the Brew Unit. This  
connection must be air / water tight to prevent air from entering the water  
path, and / or leakage from the occurring.  
Figure 4-22: Water Valve (Disassembled)  
The two o-rings that form the seal to the brew unit can be accessed from  
the front / inside area of the appliance - once the brew unit removed. To  
access the upper seal, the heater must be removed from the appliance.  
The Water Valve can be disassembled for service; parts can be replaced  
individually.
