5.

 

Your machine should have a regular service. The usage and hardness of water in 
your area will determine regularity (minimum once a year). It is essential that a

This is a requirement of the HSE under the PSSR Act of 2000. Contact Fracino 
or an authorised service agent for further information or to have your boiler 
tested.  

9.

 

If the supply cord or plug is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its 
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. 

10.

 

Children should be supervised to ensure they do not use or play with the machine. 

11.

 

Coffee machines are heavy, take care when lifting or moving to avoid injury or 
damage to the machine. 

12.

 

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced 
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack experience or knowledge, unless 
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance 
by a person responsible for their safety. 

13.

 

The appliance must not be cleaned with a water jet, or located in an area where a 
water jet could be used. 

14.

 

Disconnecting, by-passing, tampering or otherwise interfering with safety valves, 
high limit thermostats and pressure switches or other safety or control devices may 
cause serious injury to persons and/or serious damage to the machine. 

15.

 

If the steam pressure gauge reads more than 1.5Bar, isolate the machine from the 
power and water supply, DO NOT use the machine until it has been inspected, 
tested and, if required, repaired by a suitably qualified engineer. 

16.

 

If the pump/water pressure gauge reads more than 12Bar, isolate the machine from 
the power and water supply, DO NOT use the machine until it has been inspected, 
tested and, if required, repaired by a suitably qualified engineer.
