4 Operation, maintenance and cleaning

4.1 Operational safety

Cleaning
Cleaning the machine on a daily basis is not only an absolute must, but it also guarantees the necessary hygiene and
neutral taste as well as a longer life of the machine. When touching the coffee machine, in particular the spouts, bacterial
contamination must be avoided. Plastic parts must not be dried in the microwave. For reasons of hygiene, the machine
must be cleaned before it is started up. There are two types of cleaning:
External cleaning:
- Clean the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth or sponge soaked in a soap solution. Please pay particular
attention to the product dispensing parts. Surfaces such as the touch screen must be cleaned with particular care.
Only use mild detergents and non-scratch cloths.
- Cloths or sponges must be wrung out thoroughly to ensure that they are only moist, not wet, otherwise there is a
risk of electric shock.
- Do not clean plastic parts with alcohol, ethanol, methanol, methylated spirit or disinfectants. Detergents with strong
acid agents such as acetic acid must also not be used.
- The machine must not be cleaned with water jets.
- The grounds drawer must be emptied when the corresponding notification appears on the display. Rinse the
grounds drawer with warm water and wash it with soap water solution whenever you have finished using it.
- The bean hopper must be emptied weekly and wiped with a clean, dry towel.
- Remove the drip tray if the corresponding notification is displayed and clean it with soap water solution.
- Do not clean any parts in the dishwasher!
Automatic cleaning of the internal components:
The automatic cleaning process with the Thermoplan cleaning solutions must be run daily as described in the „Daily
cleaning" chapter (see page 18). Use only the Thermoplan cleaning solutions for this purpose.
Descaling, desinfection and sterilization of the machine
The descaling, desinfection and sterilisation of the machine must only be made by trained service staff.
Operation
- The machines must only be operated by trained operator staff.
- Keep your workspace clean and tidy. Disorder and unlit workspaces can lead to accidents.
- Do not remove the grounds by beating against the grounds drawer.
- This dispensing machine is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or with a lack of experience and knowledge unless they were explicitly trained
by a responsible person or briefed in the use of the dispensing machine to ensure their safety. Children must
be kept away from the machine at all times.
