1. If full ECO mode and not just the steam boiler is selected the brew boiler might reduce from 94C to a brew temperature of 14C this would mean the boiler is effectively switched off Economy mode is of very little use on the brew boiler as the group would cool down and require significant time warm up again Also the display switches to green in full eco mode which is irritating We recommend the ECO setting is restricted to use on the Steam boiler only If the steam service boiler is set to 127 and in the advanced menu Economy DT is set to 67 with an Economy time Time Economy value of 8 After 8 minutes of inactivity the steam boiler temperature will reduce to 60C By setting the steam boiler to run this way you can walk away after steaming knowing that the temperature will automatically reduce This keeps the machine cooler and gives a very rapid warm up to full steaming temperature 60C is a temperature providing optimum energy efficiency and a warm up time reduced by 50 This would allow the boiler to be ready for steaming in under 3 minutes instead of nearly 6 minutes The Steam boiler will come out of ECO mode when the brew lever is lifted the pump runs or the display is touched There is a further economy setting in the advanced menu called Time to off This setting will switch the machine to standby in whatever number of minutes has been set max value 999 after the machine enters economy mode T2.
