SAFETY REGULATIONS

2.1

General

2.1.1

Identification of hazards

Hazard instructions are identified in this
manual with the following hazard symbol.
Depending on the type of hazard, this may
warn of:
RISK OF FATAL INJURY (e.g. from pressure con-
tainers or electric shock)
RISK OF INJURY (from scalding, cutting or other
mechanical injuries)
PROPERTY DAMAGE (from escaping products,
machine parts falling out or falling over, etc.)
These dangers can also result in machine faults, loss of
warranty or third-party liability claims. Functional safety
flaws of individual components can cause severe acci-
dents.
2.1.2

Training of service technicians

Maintenance personnel
Persons who are assigned maintenance tasks on the
machine must be able to prove that they have been
properly trained by the machine manufacturer or its
designated and authorised representatives.
Specifically, they must be familiar with the safety regu-
lations for all maintenance tasks.
They must have the necessary tools and original spare
parts available.
Maintenance regulations
All maintenance tasks must be carried out according to
the manufacturer's current maintenance regulations.
Everyone that is assigned to maintenance tasks is
personally responsible for staying up to date with the
current version of these maintenance regulations.
2.1.3

Intended use

The intended use of the device and associated options are
subject to the contractually agreed intended use and any
existing supplementary agreements, the "General terms
and conditions" of WMF Aktiengesellschaft and this
Owner's Manual. In legal terms, any other use is not an
intended use. The manufacturer accepts no liability for
damage resulting from unintended use.

2.1.4

Safety devices

The coffee machine is equipped with all necessary safety
devices required for operation according to its intended
use.
2.1.5

General safety regulations

The safety regulations are to be applied
according to the specific procedure or
maintenance task being carried out. Al-
ways apply the safety regulations that offer
maximum protection from injury and prop-
erty damage. This is particularly true when
it is necessary to carry out tests or meas-
urements on the uncovered machine while
it is operating. Only instructed persons
may carry out any work on the electrical
components while these are live, or on hy-
draulic systems while these are under
pressure.
Do not begin the maintenance tasks until all safety precau-
tions have been taken.
Scalding and burns
Hydraulic water systems in automatic beverage dispensers
can contain hot liquids (water, milk, etc.). Some of the
components and dispensed products are also hot. If these
systems come apart spontaneously or these components
or beverages are touched, severe injuries from scalding or
burns or property damage can result.
Therefore, do not separate pipes and vessels unless
you have first depressurised and/or deaerated the sys-
tem. Wear suitable safety gear (glasses/gloves, etc.)
when carrying out this kind of work.
When carrying out maintenance tasks on the device or
the interior of the device, make sure not to burn or
scald yourself.
Allow the machine to cool off before you begin the
maintenance tasks.
Pressure containers
Hydraulic systems in automatic beverage dispensers can
be pressurised. If these systems come apart spontane-
ously, severe injuries or property damage from explosively
escaping fluids or flying parts can result.
Observe the following whenever you work on pressure
vessels (including pipes and threaded connections):
Never open pressurised containers.
Use appropriate measures (relieving pressure, dispens-
ing products, etc.) to ensure that these systems are
depressurised before the maintenance tasks.
