1 Safety Regulations
1.1 General
1.1.1 Hazard labels
In this manual, hazard notes are labelled
with the hazard symbol shown alongside.
Depending on the type of hazard these are:
DANGER TO LIFE (i.e. from the pressure container or
by electric shock.
DANGER OF INJURY (by scalding, cutting, or other
mechanical injury)
MATERIAL DAMAGE caused by discharged products,
machine parts falling down or away etc.).
These hazards can also result in loss of guarantee or third-
party liability claims. Deficiencies in the functional safety of
individual components can cause serious accidents.
1.1.2 Training for operating personnel and service
technicians
Operating personnel
The Machine Owner is responsible for training the operat-
ing personnel. This includes in particular instructions in
handling foodstuffs, hygiene measures and the safety de-
vices on the machine. The safety regulations also include
local safety and accident prevention regulations.
People who are not familiar with the user manual, chil-
dren and people under the influence of alcohol, drugs or
medication must not operate the machine.
At self-service units, danger zones such as the steam
pipe and the hot water outlet must be clearly labelled in
such a manner that the warning is visible to the user.
Maintenance personnel
Those persons involved with carrying out maintenance
work on the machine must have attended the relevant
training course provided by the manufacturer of the ma-
chine or by the manufacturer’s designated and authorised
representatives.
In particular they must be familiar with the safety regula-
tions relevant to all maintenance work.
They must have available the necessary tools and origi-
nal spare parts.
Service instructions
All maintenance work must be carried out in accordance
with the current service instructions issued by the manu-
facturer.
All persons involved in maintenance work must have up-
to-date knowledge of the current status of these service
instructions.
1.1.3 Designated use
Proper use of the machine and its associated accessories and
optional features are subject to the contractually agreed use,
any other existing additional agreements and the general
terms and conditions of M. Schaefer AG. The user manual is
an integral part of the above agreement of use. Any usage
other than within the limits specified herein shall be regarded
as not in accordance with the designated use. The manufac-
turer shall not be liable for any resulting damage.
1.1.4 Safety equipment
The coffee machine is equipped with all the necessary safety
equipment that is required for the machine to operate correctly
as intended.
1.1.5 General safety regulations
Safety regulations must be observed in line
with the work procedure or the maintenance
work concerned. In principle those safety
instructions that ensure maximum protec-
tion from bodily injury and material damage
must be applied. This applies in particular
where tests and measurements need to be
made on a machine operating without its
protective casing. Work carried out on live
electrical components or on pressurised
hydraulic systems should be carried out
only by trained personnel.
Only start maintenance work once all the safety precautions
have been taken.
Scalds and burns
Hydraulic systems inside drinks machines can contain hot
liquids (water, milk etc.) Some of the components and a pro-
portion of the products served are also hot. Undoing such
systems spontaneously, or touching these components or
drinks can result in severe personal injury from burns or
scalds, or in material damage.
For this reason, you should disconnect pipes and con-
tainers only after the system has been carefully depres-
surised and/or vented. Wear suitable protective gear
when carrying out such work (goggles/gloves).
For this reason, when carrying out maintenance work on
the machine or its interior, you should make sure that you
do not sustain scalds or burns.
Allow the machine to cool down before starting mainte-
nance work.
