Important Safeguards

When using your Brewer, always follow these basic safety precautions:

1. Read all instructions before using the machine, and ensure that anyone who will

be involved with the cleaning or refilling of the machine also reads the
instructions.

2. This machine may contain up to 1-1/3 gallons of very hot water (up to 205° F).

Therefore, supervision should always be available when the machine is being
used near young children, the aged, or the infirm.

3. The machine should be situated on a strong horizontal surface, at a convenient

height, in a position where it is not likely to be knocked off.

4. The Power Cord should never trail from the machine, and should always be kept

away from hot surfaces and sharp edges.

5. Do not operate the machine if any part is damaged, e.g. Power Cord, until it has

been checked by a qualified Technical Service Representative.

6. Allow the machine to cool before handling or moving.

7. Never immerse the machine in water, or any other liquid, and never clean with a

water jet.

8. If the machine should accidentally freeze up, call a Technical Service

Representative to check it before switching on.

Daily Maintenance

Emptying The Capsule Bin

The capsule bin holds thirty capsules, and should, therefore, be emptied and cleaned daily. If the
bin becomes full, the machine's display will read:

The capsule bin is full. Open the front door, remove the bin (fig i), and dispose of the contents.
Replace bin, after washing in warm water. If 'Check Bin' message persists, switch off the machine
and check underneath the brew mechanism to ensure a capsule is not still trapped. Remove the
offending capsule, close the front door, switch on
the machine and it will reset automatically.

NOTE: This automatic warning feature will not
normally work on the optional base cabinet with
the bin inside the cabinet; this must be checked
daily by the key operator.

Weekly Maintenance

Cleaning The Clamp Assembly

WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY BEFORE CARRYING OUT THIS OPERATION.

For weekly cleaning, or in the unlikely event of a capsule jamming, switch off the machine, open
the door and remove the capsule bin, and lower the clamp assembly as follows:-

Place your thumb on the front cover of the
brew mechanism and your forefinger behind
the plastic latch. Unclip the latch by closing
your thumb and forefinger. Gently lower the
clamp plate assembly (fig. i).

CAUTION!! When the clamp plate
assembly is lowered, or removed, sharp
cutting teeth are exposed - handle with
care!

With the clamp plate assembly lowered,
if you are clearing a jammed capsule,
you will now see whether a capsule is

jammed inside. Carefully remove any
jammed capsules with your fingers - do
not use sharp instruments or tools in the
mechanism!

To unhook the clamp plate assembly,
firmly grasp it by the sides (fig. ii),
taking care not to touch the cutting
edges. Swing the clamp plate towards
you, to an angle of approximately 45°,
then lift and slide it towards you,
keeping it at the same angle.

If necessary the lower clamp plate can be split
to allow more thorough cleaning; simply push
in the two plastic lugs (fig. iii A) and the clamp
plate should unclip.
To re-assemble, push in the two plastic lugs
and snap the clamp plate back into position.

Whilst the clamp plate assembly is removed from the machine, look underneath the brewing
mechanism on the machine, and clean the underside of the brewing mechanism.

To replace the clamp plate assembly after
cleaning, look underneath the machine to
locate the hinge grooves (fig. iv A) either side
of the brewing mechanism. Holding the clamp
plate assembly in the palm of your hand, at
an angle of 45°, align the clamp plate hinges
(fig. iv B) with the hinge grooves and slide
the assembly backwards, whilst still holding
the clamp plate assembly at 45°, until it drops
on the hooks (fig. iv C). The clamp assembly
will swing freely if it is correctly located.

What To Do If Things Go Wrong

In the unlikely event of a problem occurring, your machine will attempt to diagnose the fault and
display the appropriate message.

Try to identify the fault shown on the display with one of those illustrated on the following pages,
and follow the remedial course of action. Most of these problems can be solved by clearing the
cause of the fault, and pressing the reset button, or unplugging the machine from the electrical
outlet and then back in again after five seconds delay.

If, however, you require the assistance of a T echnical Service Representative, please help us to
help you by noting the cause of the problem and the circumstances under which it occurred. This
will help our Service Representative assess the situation more clearly.
