1.1 Using the manual
This manual contains all information required for the installation, use and maintenance of the cof-
fee machine.
This manual is an integral part of the machine; always keep it intact together with the appliance.
1.2 Warnings
• Do not operate the machine or carry out routine maintenance before reading this
manual.
• This machine is designed and built for dispensing espresso coffee, hot water (for the
preparation of hot beverages and infusions) and steam (used to heat liquids). The use
of the machine for any other than its intended purposes is considered to be improper
and unauthorised. The manufacturer declines any liability for damage resulting from the
improper use of the machine.
• The user must be a responsible adult, who is expected to comply with local safety rules and accepted
common sense procedures. For the correct and safe use of this machine, the operator must observe the
accident-prevention rules and any other medical or occupational hygiene requirements applicable in the
country where the machine is used.
• Machine use, along with all routine maintenance and cleaning operations must only be performed by au
-
thorised personnel, appointed by the customer under the responsibility of the latter.
• Do not install the espresso coffee machine in rooms which are cleaned with water jets.
• Never turn the machine on before it has been connected to the water mains. The water cut-off valve must
remain open when the machine is on. The user must make sure of this.
• Only place empty cups on the purpose-provided cup support grille.
• Never cover the machine when it is in operation. There must be suitable air recirculation.
• It is absolutely prohibited to operate the machine with the fixed and/or mobile guards removed or with the
safety devices bypassed. The safety devices must absolutely never be removed or tampered with. The
panels covering the machine must not be removed, as the machine contains live parts (there is the risk of
electric shock).
• Before performing any routine maintenance or cleaning operations, unplug machine from the socket, if
possible, otherwise trip the omnipolar switch upstream of the machine.
• The safety devices must always be in perfect condition, observing the regular maintenance performed by
La San Marco authorised personnel.
• The hot parts of the machine (dispensing unit, boiler, piping, etc.) could cause burns due to accidental skin
contact. Gloves, aprons, etc. should therefore be worn during maintenance or repair work.
• For cleaning, avoid the use of products such as alcohol, petrol or solvents in general; use water and neutral
detergents.
• To clean the body of the machine, simply wipe it with a damp cloth or sponge; do not use abrasive prod
-
ucts which could damage parts of the machine body. To clean the coffee dispensing units, the filter cups,
grilles and trays, follow the instructions provided in the chapter entitled Routine Maintenance.
• For improved machine quality, on starting the machine every day, the water in the boiler must be replaced and
that contained in the piping must be emptied and replaced. Should the machine be left idle for several hours
over the course of the day, it is advisable to replace the water by allowing it to flow out of the hot water drawing
tap and the coffee dispensing units.
• Strict compliance with the routine maintenance instructions of this manual is required for a safe and efficient
operation of the appliance.
• In the event of faults or breakage of any component of the espresso coffee machine, contact an authorised
service centre and insist on original La San Marco S.p.A. spare parts; the use of non-original spare parts will
nullify the certification of conformity and the guarantee which accompany the appliance.
