Risk of machine damage!
CAUTION!
Risk of machine
damage!
Improper handling of the coffee machine can lead to damage or
contamination.
Please adhere to the following points:
• For water with a carbonate hardness above 5 °dKH, install a limes-
cale filter, as the coffee machine can otherwise be damaged by li-
mescale deposits.
• At the end of the business day, always ensure that the stop valve of
the water supply (coffee machine with mains water supply) is closed
and the main power switch is switched off or the power cable is un-
plugged. This is for insurance reasons.
• Applicable low voltage guidelines and/or country-specific or local
safety regulations and laws must be observed.
• Do not operate the machine if the water supply is blocked. Other-
wise, the boilers will not be refilled and the pump will run dry.
• Schaerer AG recommends installing a water stop valve (manufac-
turer-side) in the water connection to prevent water damage in case
of hose breakage.
• After extended downtime (e.g. company holiday), the coffee ma-
chine must be cleaned before it is put back into operation.
• Protect the coffee machine from weather elements (frost, moisture,
etc.).
• Faults must only be remedied by a qualified service technician.
• Only use Schaerer AG original spare parts.
• Report any noticeable damage or leaks immediately to an author-
ised service partner and have any faulty parts replaced and/or re-
paired.
• Never spray the device with water or clean it with a steam cleaner.
• Do not install the machine on a surface where a water jet might be
used.
• When using caramelised coffee (flavoured coffee), clean the brew-
ing unit twice daily.
• Only fill the bean hoppers with coffee beans, the powder containers
with automatic machine powder and the manual inlet with ground
coffee (or cleaning tablets during cleaning).
• Never use instant coffee as it clogs the brewing unit.
• If the coffee machine and/or auxiliary equipment is transported at
temperatures below 10°C, the coffee machine and/or auxiliary
equipment must be stored at room temperature for three hours be-
fore connecting the coffee machine and/or auxiliary equipment to
the power supply and switching them on. If these instructions are
not followed, condensation may cause short circuits or damage
electrical components.
•
Always use the new hose set supplied with the machine (drinking
water/waste water hose). Never use old hose sets.
