2.2 Warnings
• The grinder-dispenser is designed and built for metering and grinding the coffee
beans in the desired amounts. All other uses outside those specified in this manual
must be considered inappropriate and therefore not authorized. The manufacturer
declines any liability for damage resulting from the improper use of the device.
• The user must be a responsible adult, who is expected to comply with the safety
procedures that apply in the country where the machine is installed, in addition to the
rules of common sense. For a proper and safe use of the machine, the operator must
comply with the rules of accident prevention and with all other requirements of health
and hygiene in the workplace.
• The use of the machine and the routine maintenance and cleaning operations are
reserved exclusively for personnel authorized by the customer and under his own
responsibility.
• The machine must not be operated with the fixed and/or mobile guards removed or
with the safety devices cut off; the safety devices must absolutely not be removed or
tampered with.
• While the grinder-dispenser is in operation, do not introduce any objects (screwdriv-
ers, spoons, etc.) into the hopper or the dispenser.
• Before carrying out any routine maintenance or cleaning of the machine, switch off
the machine and pull out the plug from the power socket, if possible, or disconnect
the omnipolar switch upstream of the machine.
• Avoid using products such as alcohol, petroleum products or solvents in general to
clean the machine; use water or neutral solvents.
• A moist cloth or sponge is sufficient to clean the machine housing; never use jets of
water. Use a brush to clean the internal parts of the dispenser, the grinding unit and
the hopper.
• Any extraordinary maintenance or repairs must be carried out exclusively by special-
ized personnel at La San Marco S.p.A. service centres.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the manufac-
turer’s service centre or a similarly qualified organization.
• In case of malfunctions or breakdown of any grinder-dispenser components, contact
the authorized service centre and request the use of original La San Marco S.p.A.
spare parts. The use of any but original spare parts voids the warranty certificates
provided with the machine.
• The user must not carry out any unauthorized operations or any work without under-
standing the exact procedures; contact the manufacturer for any information, spare
parts or accessories.
• If the machine is to be discarded or disposed of, contact the supplier or the public utilities
