Instruction manual MECHANIKA III

Precautions:
•
Never immerse the machine in water; do not operate the machine with wet hands.
•
Never expose the machine to the effects of weather (frost, snow, rain) and do not use it outdoors.
•
Always plug the machine into an earthed socket and do not leave it unattended.
•
Place the machine on an even and stable surface. You can regulate the height of the machine by adjusting the
feet.
•
Never place the machine on hot surfaces.
Before starting the machine, make sure that the local mains supply voltage corresponds to the information given on
the type plate on the front panel of the espresso coffee machine.
The machine must
not
be operated with carbonated water but with soft potable. Do not operate the machine
without water.
Where necessary, make use of a water softener / water filter cartridge in order to reach an adequate hardness degree.
If these measures are insufficient, a prophylactic descaling of the machine is possible. Contact your specialised dealer
before
undertaking this measure. Follow our descaling instructions (see page 6). Doing so, you will protect your
machine against expensive repairing.
An already calcified machine may only be descaled by your specialised dealer because a partial disassembling of the
boiler and the tubing will be necessary to prevent the system from being blocked by lime residues. A late descaling can
cause substantial damage to the machine.
The MECHANIKA III must be exclusively used for the preparation of coffee, hot water and steam. The machine is not
intended for commercial use.
