Risk of damage to the machine
CAUTION!
Risk of machine
damage!
Improper handling of the coffee machine can lead to damage or contamination.
The following instructions absolutely must be complied with:
• For water with a carbonate hardness above 5°dKH, install a water filter, as otherwise the
coffee machine can be damaged due to calcification.
• For insurance law reasons, always ensure that after closing for the day, the main water
valve (coffee machine with mains water supply) is closed and the electrical main switch is
switched off or the mains plug is unplugged.
• All relevant guidelines on low voltage 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 recommend routing the
water supply connection via a water stop 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 (frost, humidity etc.).
• Faults may be remedied by a qualified service technician only.
• Only use Schaerer AG original spare parts.
• Report any noticeable damage or leaks immediately to an authorised service partner and
have any faulty parts replaced and/or repaired.
• Never spray the device with water or clean it with a steam cleaner.
• When using caramelised coffee (flavoured coffee), clean the brewing unit twice daily.
• Fill the bean hopper with beans only, the powder container with coffee machine powder
only and the manual inlet with ground coffee only (or cleaning tablets during cleaning).
• Never use freeze-dried coffee as it clogs the brewing unit.
• If the coffee machine and/or accessories are transported at temperatures below 10°C, the
coffee machine and/or accessories must be stored for three hours at room temperature be-
fore the coffee machine and/or accessories are connected to the mains and switched on.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in a danger of short-circuit or damage to elec-
trical components.
• Always use the new hose set (drinking water/waste water hose) provided with the machine.
Never use old hose sets.

CAUTION!
User at risk!
Improper handling of water can lead to health problems.
The following instructions absolutely must be complied with:
• The water must be uncontaminated.
• Do not connect the machine to pure reverse osmosis water or other aggressive types of
water.
• The carbonate hardness must not exceed 4-6°dKH (German carbonate hardness) or 7-
10°fKH (French carbonate hardness).
• The total hardness must always be higher than the carbonate hardness.
• The minimum carbonate hardness is 4°dKH or 7°fKH.
• Maximum chlorine content of 100 mg per litre.
• pH value between 6.5 – 7 (pH neutral).
Machines with drinking water tank (internal & external)
• Fill the drinking water tank daily with fresh water.
• Rinse the drinking water tank thoroughly before filling.
