CHECKS AND SERVICING
OPERA
The machine may not work because:
- the plug has not been inserted into the mains socket;
- the mains switch has not been pressed;
- there is no water in the tank;
- the filters are blocked.
If the above operations have been carried out and the filters have been cleaned
(see Point “Cleaning”) the machine must be faulty and should therefore be checked
by one of our service centres.
WARNING! Before removing the guards, AL
mains socket. Never place hand or objects in the machine when it is still
connected to the power supply
GENERAL SERVICING
Water tank
Check the water level occasionally through the inspection glass on the right side
and top up as necessary
indicated in fig. 7.
Do not use the machine if there is no water in the tank.
Adjusting the pod holder
GRIMAC s.r
after the pod holder has been in use for some time, liquid is seen to seep through at the
place where the two pod holders meet during coffee dispensing, the play must be elim-
inated by following this procedure:
• Use a 2 mm Allen key to loosen the locking pin (fig. 8);
• T
lever to try to close the pod holder; repeat this operation until the ideal adjustment
has been found and then tighten the locking pin again (fig. 8).
If the leaking is not due to an increase in play
spected and if necessary replaced (fig. 9). The seal should be replaced with original
GRIMAC parts by competent, Grimac approved staff.
CLEANING
FILIf the machine is used only occasionally
wash the filter
press the dispenser switch for 2-3 seconds (fig. 5).
WARNING! The water is dispensed at an extr
Danger of scalding!
This ensures that the filter remains cleaner for longer
More thorough cleaning should nevertheless be carried out at regular intervals and the
filter should be removed. Use a screwdriver to prise open (fig. 6). If the filter is worn,
replace it. Use only boiling water to disinfect.
BOX AND GRID: remove the box and grid from their seat at regular intervals to remove
traces of spilt liquid. Used only water to clean (fig. 1, ref. 9).
WA the water tank is fitted with a filter that is connected to the mains
supply pipe and softens the water
- Approx. every 300 coffees, clean the filter in a water and salt solution (regeneration).
The life of the filter mainly depends on the water hardness.
- After approx. 10-12 months replace the filter with a new one.
OUTER CASING: to keep the outer casing clean, use a sponge or cloth soaked in a
specific cleaning liquid (a neutral detergent).
Do not use solvents, abrasive powders, or steel wool.
