Installation and commissioning Installation and commissioning Customers on-site connection requirements Necessary preparatory work for electricity, water and drainage connections at the customer‘s premises are to be arranged by the machine owner/operator. The work must be carried out by authorised installation technicians in compliance with general, country-specific and local regulations. The WMF Service engineers may only connect the coffee machine to existing prepared connection points.
Installation and commissioning Example, Dynamic Milk: all drains must be sloped. Attach the drain tube and rinse hose to the connection angle using cable ties Caution To prevent back-contamination, the hoses MUST NOT make contact with the wastewater. Two position arrows are inscribed on the elbow connector for reference.
Installation and commissioning Initial commissioning 1.3.1 Goal of the Technician's Intro A guided implementation of mandatory basic settings. As simple a start-up of the coffee machine as possible with a high-quality beverage quality. The aim is not to cover all setting options. If for example the settings stored as defaults are changed in the "Operating options"...

Installation and commissioning Set and where necessary change the language. Adjust time and date where necessary. The prompt appears asking whether to carry out start-up or not. When Yes: Next step When No: Machine is filled then heat and is then ready for use...

Installation and commissioning Enter the technician PIN. (Since some access to service menus is provided as part of the technician intro; it is used to ensure that only technicians use the start-up intro.) A pure information text page follows. In this way, the setting steps to be performed are explained in detail.

Installation and commissioning Adjust the machine configuration. After processing and confirmation, a restart will be required. The menu items are intended – as they partly build on top of each another- to be processed from top to bottom. (The cooler is only present when it was previously selected in the machine configuration). Menu items which were run through and processed are marked with a check.
Service Service Pressure reducer setting Pressure reducer setting: 1.5 bar (+0.4/-0.3 bar) flow pressure Instructions: The safety assembly complete is used as the spare part – 33 2822 7499. The pressure reducer setting can remain as it is. Checking and setting: ...
Service Grinders Right grinder The right grinder (33 7006 4704) is preset to grinding degree 1, espresso grind. This corresponds to a discharge rate of about 2.2 g/s, and a grain size distribution of about 470 μm. Left and center grinder The center-left grinder (33 7006 4703) is preset to grinding degree 5, crème grind.
Service 2.2.1 Grinder—basic mechanical setting, grinding degree 1. This setting is made with the grinder completely empty, without the adjustment motor, outside of the machine 2. Turn the disks together with the crown gear assembled until the disks are seated together and can no longer be turned on the drive shaft by hand.
Service 2.2.3 Dynamic Coffee Assist advance settings With Dynamic Coffee Assist, beverages with espresso can be monitored and adjusted automatically. The brewing flow must be set to 3 – 5 ml/s for this. Illustration shows the espresso component of the latte macchiato as an example. 1.
Service Brewing unit with removable brew aperture Using the brewing unit with aperture – 33 2893 0399 WMF 1500S+; WMF 1100S, WMF 1200S, presto The previous dark-red brewing unit is used in the version for the USA Using the brewing unit without aperture – 33 2893 0499 ...
Service Power supply Using the power supply – 33 2628 3100 WMF 1500S+; WMF 5000S+, WMF 9000S+; WMF 9000F Notes: o The spare part power supply 154C does NOT have a mounting bracket o Jumper J4 is correctly placed across pins 2 and 3. Important: If the jumper is incorrectly placed on 1 and 2, then the machine can no longer be switched off The power supply can be run at either 115 V (jumper plugged in at J5) or 230 V input voltage.
Service Power stage Using the spare power stage – 33 4099 0099 WMF 1500S+; WMF 5000S+, WMF 9000S+; WMF 9000F, Syrup accessory equipment All inputs and outputs are located on the power stage. The power stage is protected against overcurrent and short circuits by 10 current sensors and a current detector. The outputs for controlling the brewer motor are non-locking.
Service Front panel Using the front panel platform – 33 4126 0099 WMF 1500S+; WMF 5000S+, WMF 9000F The following components are integrated in the front panel platform 10-inch display with sensor glass and capacitive touch Micro-SD Card Ethernet connection 2 USB connections Generally lockable The micro-SD card stores all data.

Service A platform front panel can be used universally with all of the machine types listed. Front panel that have already been in use can also be reused. Using the Panel Updater (an auxiliary program found on the front panel) and an inserted USB stick with appropriate machine software, the platform front panel is programmed to make a machine-specific spare parts front panel with serial number #100.
Service 2.6.1 Replacing the front panel The following workflow MUST be followed! Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Switch-off machine Install the new platform front panel or used front panel Switch-off machine WITHOUT a microSD card. Insert microSD card from the Important: defective front panel do not (yet) install the microSD care in the new front panel.
Service Power Class The "Power Class" considers the country-specific heating output versions of the machine, the connection configuration at the grid power terminal, and the current protection on the supply grid side. The Power Class is therefore useful for optimizing utilization and ensuring machine functionality. The Power Class determines the following: Mutual lockout and enabling of components such as the grinder and the heater.
Maintenance Maintenance Maintenance concept – Overview of maintenance activities The following WMF maintenance concept based on time-/serving-dependent cycles, describes the minimum scope of maintenance activities as recommended by WMF. Please also take into account the special terms arising from the service agreements and local factors (which may make earlier descaling of the flow heater necessary).
Maintenance Descaling Descaling can be performed from the (internal) water tank by the customer or by a technician using the display-guided descaling routine. The mixing ratio is 2 bottles of descaler to 3 bottles of water. Customer descaling: The customer can perform a descaling via the care menu. Technician descaling: The technician can perform a reduced descaling at a higher descaling temperature using Service/service routines.
Antifreeze protection/transport preparation Antifreeze protection/transport preparation This routine is the easiest way to prepare the coffee machine for shipping during winter months. Without needing to open up the coffee machine, the boiler water system and the safety assembly are partially emptied. This prevents any frost damage from a single freezing incident.
Special tools and aids Special tools and aids Illustration (not to scale) Bridging plug manual insert Item number 33 2628 9000 USB stick item number 33 2492 5000 Formatting -> The USB stick must be FAT32 formatted Maximum dimensions The external dimensions of the stick must not exceed 52 x 14 x 5.5.
