9.3 Water Outlet Valves
Quarterly or every 10,000 cycles
To avoid any problems related to mineral deposits over time, we recommend having the 3
valves swapped, and rebuilt in your shop with the kits included in the spare parts briefcase.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions included with the valve kit.
Leaking valve
a) Identify the leaking valve, change it and rebuild it
b) If the leak comes from under the body of the valve or from the tank exit, try simply
changing the conical mounting seal.
c) If the coffee valve leaks via the tubing, water will accumulate in the brew chamber. If
it drips all night, the first coffee of the morning may cause the chamber to flood since it
contained too much water and may be lukewarn.
Removing and installing the valves
1. Turn off the machine;
2. Unplug the lid (fig.1.1) and the valves (fig. 1.2);
3. Drain the water from the water tank completely (see section 10.1);
4. Remove the tubes;
5. Unscrew the tank guard to remove the tank;
6. Tilt the tank towards you to have access to the valves;
7. Remove the valves;
8. Reinstall by repeating in the reverse order
If you choose to install a water filtration system, it is recommended that the filter be checked
on a monthly basis.
