Dispensing of hot water
1
Place an adequate water container (with a heat-insulated handle) under the hot water dispenser. It is
recommended to switch off the machine (position 0) to stop cold water from being pumped into the boiler
while dispensing. To dispense hot water (e. g. for tea) activate the hot water lever.
2
After dispensing water, switch the machine on (position 1) again. The boiler will be filled with fresh water
automatically.
The machines does not necessarily need to be switched off to dispense hot water. However,
when the machine is switched off, a larger quantity of hot water can be dispensed than when
it is on.
Ensure that the hot water nozzle of the dispenser is placed into the water container in order
to avoid injuries due to hot water spray or spillage.

Dispensing of steam
The MECHANIKA MAX is able to generate large amounts of steam in order to heat or froth beverages, e. g.
milk or punch. It is a professional and compact espresso coffee machine with an enormous steam volume.
Therfore, within a few seconds you can prepare milk froth. Please pay attention to the instructions below. Do
not bring the milk to a boil, otherwise frothing milk will not be possible.
1
Important:
In order to get the best result when frothing milk, open the steam valve by activating the
steam lever for approx. 5 seconds to release the condensation water in the steam wand.
2
Immerse the steam nozzle (at the end of the steam dispenser) in the liquid.
3
Re-open the steam valve.
4
Heat and/or froth the liquid.
5
After frothing or heating, release the steam into the drip tray to keep the holes of the steam nozzle clean.
Risk of injury
Always keep the steam nozzle underneath the surface of the liquid while heating or frothing
in order to avoid being sprayed.
Important
After every application clean the steam nozzle and the steam dispenser with a non-abrasive,
damp cloth; to remove possible liquid residues.
Risk of injury
Avoid skin contact with the steam dispenser while cleaning!
