righteo....not a happy bunny so far.......for the record, I am smarter than the average bear..... the instructions are CLEAR....but the machine isn't working...... Ive turned on the machine, 30secs or so later its reaches 110 and beeps to let me know its reached idle temp, I then put the mug in and press the |> play button...and nothing happens but double beeps every 5 secs or so happens....the temp doesnt go up, it fluctuates between 110-111....could this be faulty?
Am gutted!

Hope you get sorted - nothing worse than struggling with faulty gear or even worse - intimitant faults.

The press sounds like it's working fine. You have 3 settings - idle, operating and time. These you set at 110, 170, 150.
When the mug press switches on it rises to 110 and one of the lights comes on to show the press is heating. When the double beep starts you put the mug in and press the button on far right. Lights cone on again to show heating and away you go.

hi martin - thanks for replying - I am doing what you say...except the temp in the handout and your website say 110, 180 150....the button on the far right is the stop button...seconf from right is Play button...i press play button, but is still beeps and temp doesnt change....therefore could this button be faulty?

CRACKED IT!!!!!
When I said "smarter than the average bear".....I mean't "teaddy bear!"
I was pressing the "|>" button but the play button is actually the square one - I had a mental block here - I read "play" and automatically went for the traditional "|>" one!!!!!
Peinted fantasic too!
Can I just say thanks to those who replied, and espacially to Martin - where else can you get service like this pretty much all day on a Sunday! The comments about this kind of service was one of the reasons thatprompted me to buy from BMS, and I would recommend BMS to one and all! (pay me later BMS!)....
And now to conquer the world......!
