Maintenance inside the Speedster
Warning!
To avoid hazardous situations it is of the utmost importance that repairs are only
performed by the manufacturer or another professional when the power cord, pump cord
or other electric parts of your Speedster gets damaged or should be replaced for other
reasons.
We strongly recommend to only have well-experienced espresso machine
technicians to perform the tasks described further on in this manual. Kees van
der Westen Espressonistic Works B.V. cannot be held responsible for any
damage caused by non-trained people working on our machines.
Remove body panels
Most parts within the machine that need regular maintenance can be accessed by
removing either left, right and/or upper body panel. Since the upper body panel is
enclosed between the side panels, the upper body panel should not be removed with the
side panels still attached. Removing only the upper body panel will result in scratching
the side panels and possible bending of the upper body panel.
Warning!
Parts of the interior of the machine will have a temperature (nearly) as high as the set
temperature of the steam boiler.
When servicing the machine it is sometimes necessary to keep the Speedster connected
to the AC power outlet and the machine switched “on”. In both cases there is a possibility
that you touch a live wire.
Take the necessary precautions when one or more body panels are removed
.
