DavecUK Hi Dave, I bought the “open box” Marax from BB with 899 pounds yesterday and received it today. Unfortunately, there is a issue with this machine:
when doing the first start-up, I filled the water in the water tank. Then I switched on the machine, the right water light went on, and then got the hydraulic circuit filled with water. Here is the issue– the manual says it will take max of 4 mins for this procedure, and then the left temperature light will start flashing. However, my machine’s left light did not flash and did not even go on after a long wait. The strange thing is that I can lift the group lever completely and let the brew group dispense water. And also found that the group was very hot…it seemed to work somehow. But I am not sure what the problem is with the machine…..
