Outlet Valves - Cafection Encore GROUND Service & Installation Manual

8.3

Outlet Valves

Inspection: quarterly
Preventive maintenance: every 10,000 cycles
To avoid any issue related to mineral deposits, Cafection recommends rebuilding all three (3) outlet
valves at the same time using the valve repair kits (PETAN45, one kit needed for each valve).
Valve Leakage
Identify the leaking valve, change it or rebuild it.
If the leak originates from under the body of the valve or from the tank exit, try changing the conical
mounting seal in the first instance.
If the coffee valve is not watertight, water will accumulate in the brew chamber.
If it drips all night, the first coffee of the morning will be lukewarm.
The leakage may also cause the brew chamber to flood.
WARNING! Water is VERY HOT!
Removing and Installing the Valves
If a water filtration system is installed on the brewer, it is recommended to inspect it
on a monthly basis.
