Risk of damage to the machine
CAUTION!
Risk of machine
damage!
Improper handling of the coffee machine can lead to damage or
contamination.
Please observe the following points:
• For water with a carbonate hardness above 5 °dH, install a calcium
filter, as the coffee machine can otherwise be damaged by limes-
cale deposits.
• For insurance reasons, always ensure that at the end of the busi-
ness day, the stop valve on the water supply (coffee machine with
mains water supply) is closed and the main power switch is
switched off or the power cable is unplugged.
• Applicable low voltage guidelines and/or country-specific or local
safety regulations and laws must be observed.
• Do not operate the device if the water supply is blocked. Otherwise,
the boilers will not be refilled and the pump will run dry.
• To prevent water damage in case of hose breakage, Schaerer AG
recommends routing the water supply connection through a water
shut-off valve (at the installation site).
• After extended downtime (e.g. holiday), the coffee machine 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 off the device with water or clean it using a steam
cleaner.
• Do not set up the device on surfaces on which a water jet might be
used.
• When using caramelised coffee (flavoured coffee), clean the brew-
ing unit twice daily.
• Only fill the bean hopper with coffee beans, the powder container
with automatic machine powder and the manual inlet with ground
coffee (or cleaning tablets during cleaning).
• Never use freeze-dried 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 it can be connected to the power supply and switched 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.

DANGER!
Risk of electrocution!
Risk of electrocution!
Always observe the following points:
• The phase must be fused at the ampere value specified on the serial plate.
• It must be possible to disconnect the device from the mains power supply at all poles.
• The local power supply must be constructed according to the currently valid IEC 364 (DIN
VDE 0100). An isolated ground outlet or a country-specific single-phase outlet for single-
phase connection, or a 5-pole CEE / CEKON socket per EN 60309 or a country-specific
multi-pole socket for a three-phase connection, must be available near the machine. The
sockets are part of the customer‘s on-site installation. The mains cable must not come into
contact with hot surfaces. If the mains cable for this device is damaged then it must be re-
placed by our service personnel or a similarly qualified person, in order to prevent hazards.
• Never operate a device with a damaged power cable. Have a defective power cable or plug
replaced immediately by a qualified service technician.
• Schaerer AG does not recommend using an extension cable. If an extension cable is nev-
ertheless used (minimum cross-section: 1.5 mm²), please comply with the manufacturer’s
specifications for the cable (operating instructions) and with applicable local regulations.
• Route the power cable in such a way that it does not pose a tripping hazard. Do not pull
the cable over corners or sharp edges, pinch it between objects or allow it to hang loosely
in open spaces. Do not position the cable over hot objects, and be sure to protect the cable
from exposure to oil and aggressive cleaning products.
• Never lift or pull the device by the power cable. Never pull the plug out of the socket by its
cable. Never touch the power cable or plug with wet hands. Never insert a wet plug into a
power socket.
