2 General description The WMF combiNation S coffee machine is a fully automatic single-cup machine for making Espresso, Café Crème, Cappuccino, White Coffee and Latte Macchiato. Hot water and/or steam dispensing and making filter cof- fee are both available as options.
3 Warnings Maximum machine safety is an integral WMF beverage characteristic to which we pay particular attention. In spite of all our safety precautions however, every machine is potentially hazardous if not oper- ated properly. This is why – for your own safety – we have summarised the warnings below and highlighted them in grey throughout the instruction manual.
If the safety valve is activated, the machine should be switched off immedi- ately at the customer’s main switch. Switch off the machine if a boiler malfunction occurs. Contact the WMF customer service department and do not switch the machine on again until the fault has been remedied.
The machine operator must arrange for the site preparatory work. This should be carried out by approved contractors in accordance with general and local regulations. WMF customer service technicians are only permitted to connect up the machine to the prepared connections. They are not authorised to carry out plumbing or wiring work on site and will not be responsible for such work.
