L MAINTENANCE
L.1

Maintenance intervals

The inspection and maintenance intervals depend on the
actual machine operating conditions and ambient conditions
(presence of dust, damp, etc.), therefore precise time intervals
cannot be given. In any case, careful and periodical machine
maintenance is advisable in order to minimise service
interruptions.
L.1.1

Preventive Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance reduces downtime and maximizes
machines efficiency.
Customer Care Service can provide advice on the best
maintenance plan to be purchased based on the intensity of
use and the age of the equipment.
It is advisable to stipulate a preventive and scheduled
maintenance contract with the Customer Care Service.

Precautions in case of long idle periods

If the machine is not going to be used for some time, take the
following precautions:
• close the water supply tap(s);
• completely drain the tank(s);
• remove and carefully clean the filters;
• completely drain the boiler;
• remove the plug from the power socket;
• completely drain the incorporated dispenser hoses.
Remove them from the containers;
• carefully clean the internal parts of the machine;
• clean the cabinet, going over all the stainless steel surfaces
vigorously with a rag moistened with paraffin oil to create a
protective film;
• leave the door ajar so that air can circulate inside,
preventing the formation of unpleasant odours.
• periodically air the premises.
NOTE!
After carrying out maintenance make sure the
machine is able to work safely and, in particular,
that the protection and safety devices are efficient.
L.4 Boiler drainage (only for atmospheric
versions)
If the appliance is not to be used for a long time, empty out the
boiler to prevent any malfunction and/or mildew and unpleas-
