Congratulations on the purchase of your
Schaerer Coffee Machine
You will be impressed by technical design, durability,
economy of use and first and foremost the quality of

fully automatic single‑cup machine for espresso, café
crème, cappuccino, milk coffee, foamed milk and hot
water.

Each beverage is freshly brewed at the press of a
button which guarantees high quality beverage.
Operator control of the machine is possible via a
graphic touch‑pad display.
Keep these instructions near the coffee machine so that
you and your operating staff have the right information
handy and can take the correct action in the event of
any technical problems.

HACCP Cleaning Schedule
Chapter 6 HACCP Cleaning Schedule
You are required by law to ensure that your customers
are subject to no health risks as a consequence of
consumption of food substances you serve.
An HACCP Schedule (Hazard Analysis Critical Control
Points) for risk identification and assessment is
required. You should carry out a risk analysis on your
premises. The aim of the analysis is to recognize and
preempt food hygiene hazard points. For this purpose
monitoring and where necessary test procedures
must be established and implemented. With correct
installation, cutomer care, servicing and cleaning
Schaerer coffee machines meet the requirements
described above. If customer care of the coffee
machines are not carried out properly dispensing milk
beverages will constitute a food hygiene hazard point.
Please observe the following points in order to comply
with the HACCP Schedule:
Sterilize the Milk System daily
Adhere to the cleaning instructions for the milk •
system contained in the User Manual. This will
ensure that your system contains minimal bacteria at
commencement of operation.
You can call up the history of the most recent cleaning
operations via the
information pad.
“Food Hygiene Ordi nance”
of 05.08.1997“
Use ou r
HACCP Cleaning Schedule for
monitoring of regular cleaning.
Always commence operation with a freshly
opened pre-refrigerated milk pack
• Original packaged UHT milk is usually free from
harmful bacteria. Always open a new pre‑refrigerated
pack at commencement of operation.
Ensure absolute cleanliness on opening the milk •
pack. Dirty hands or implements when opening may
introduce germs.
Recommendation:
Use on ly UHT milk with
a 1.5 % fat content.

HACCP Cleaning Schedule
Keep milk cool!
Always have a new pre‑refrigerated milk pack handy.•
• If a pre‑refrigerated freshly opened pack is used
within a period not exceeding 3 hours, refrigeration
during use is not necessary.
If little milk is being used, pre‑refrigerated milk must •
be replaced in the refrigerator again during operation.
Recommendation for Choc/Topping (optional)
Regularly clean the product reservoir. See the
instructions in the Customer Care chapter.
See chocolate/topping manufacturer‘s instructions.
At commencement of
operation milk should be at
approx. 6 – 8 °C.
Depending on setti ng
one l itre of milk is suffi cent for
approx. 20 cappuccinos.
Schaerer AG offers a range of
refrigeration options
(e.g. Schaerer Countertop
Coolers or Schaerer
Milk Coolers).
Observe th e hygiene
instructions!

Use only cooled UHT milk as othe rwise health risks due to microbac teria cannot be excluded!
For Choc and Topping use only products which are not past their sell-by date.

At Schaerer safety is one of the most essential product
features. The effectiveness of safety devices is only
warranted if the following points are observed:
Read the User Manuals carefully prior to use. •
Do not touch hot machine components.•
Protect the machine from the elements •
(frost, humidity, etc).
Do not use the machine if it is not working properly •
or if it is damaged.
Built‑in safety devices must under no circumstances •
be altered.
This device is not designed for persons (including •
children) with limited physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or who lack the required experience
and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a
person responsible for their safety or have received

be used.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do •
not play with the machine.
Despite safet y devices every machine remains fraught
with hazards if incorrectly used. Please observe the
following notes when using the coffee machine so as to
prevent injury and health hazards:

Safety
9.2 Danger to the Machine
Please observe the following points so as to prevent
problems with and damage to the coffee machine:
For water with a carbonate hardness in excess of •
5°dKH, a Schaerer anti‑scale filter must be fitted
otherwise the coffee machine can be damaged due
to build‑up of scale.
For insurance reasons always ensure that, at the end •
of operation, the mains water tap for water supply
(plumbed machines) is turned off and the mains
power is switched off or the machine unplugged.
We recommend damage prevention measures: •
‑ e.g. installation of a suitable water monitor in the
mains water supply
‑ fitting smoke detectors.
• After a break in operation of several weeks we
recommend running the cleaning mode at least
twice.
Do not expose the coffee machine to frost.•
This machine is not for use out of doors, do not •
spray the machine with water. The maximum relative
humidity should not exceed 80 %, no dewing.
Do not use water hose, steam jets, steam cleaners •
or the like to clean the device.
The device must be set on a flat, level and secure •
surface.

only staff instructed in operation of the machine should
supervise the machine. Trained personal should
carry out maintenance and be available for questions
regarding use.
The operator shall ensure that electrical equipment and
operating facilities are in a fit state (e.g., to BGV A3)
[German Accident Prevention Association or equivalent].
In order to ensure the operating safety of your coffee

Protection
Inbuilt clearances

For operating, service and safet y reasons the machine should
be installed with clearance of not less than 50 mm at the back
and sides from the building or non‑Schaerer components.
A clear height of 1100 mm from the top of the supporting
surface should be ensured. Recommended height of the
working surface is a minimum of 850 mm from floor level.
If the machine connections are to be routed down through the
counter, remember also to allow space for the connections.
These may restrict the available space below the machine.

These specifications for the electr ical con nectio n and the standa rds quoted apply for
connecting the machine in EU countries. It may be necessar y to also obser ve additional
country-specific regulations. Outside the EU countries acceptance of the s tandards quoted is to
be checked by the legal entit y or natural person who wishes to use the machine.
The local power supply must be constructed according to IEC 364. To improve safety, the coffee machine
shou ld be fitted with an FI 30 mA earth leakage current circu it breaker complying with EN 61008. Near
the machine or about 30 cm below the counter top there sh ould be a shockproof socket as a single- phase
connection installed locally on the rear or side wall of the counter substructure or a country-specific
single- phase socket. If the mains co nnection lead for this coffee machine is damaged then it must be
replaced by our customer service personnel or a similarly qualified person. If the coffee machine is
permanently connected to the mains then an all-pole disconnecting separator (mains switch) accordi ng to
EN 60947 with a minimum 3 mm contact gap must be installed. A separator switch is recommended for
a flexible connection. The mains cable must not come into contact with hot surfaces. The mains switch
and plug top are part of the customer‘s on-site installation. The machine may not be fitted with a fixed
permanent mains connection if installed on a transporting trolley.
In order to avoid possible faults from arising on our screened data lines due to potential equalization
currents between the devices, an additional potential equalization unit should be planned for devices
connected to the vending system. (See EN 60309)
