The Schaerer Coffee Art C is a professional-grade coffee machine designed for commercial use, offering a range of features for brewing and dispensing various coffee beverages. This manual outlines its operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The Schaerer Coffee Art C is an automatic coffee machine that grinds whole beans fresh for each beverage. It features three bean hoppers, each capable of holding up to 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of whole beans, allowing for a variety of coffee blends or types to be offered. The machine is equipped with a 7-inch touch screen for intuitive operation, allowing users to select different blends and beverage types. It also includes dedicated spouts for coffee and hot water, with some models offering a high-capacity second coffee dispensing spout for larger containers like 64oz thermoses. A cup sensor is present on certain models to detect cup placement. The machine is designed to be connected to a fixed drain line for efficient disposal of liquids from the drip tray.
Operating the Schaerer Coffee Art C begins with ensuring the fresh water supply is open, bean hoppers are filled with whole beans, and the grounds bin is empty. The machine is switched on by pressing the ON/OFF icon on the touch screen. After a brief heating period, the "Select your beverage" message appears, indicating readiness for use. The touch screen displays options for different coffee blends (e.g., HOUSE BLEND, COLOMBIAN BLEND, DARK ROAST, ICED COFFEE), allowing for easy selection. A "Service Menu" icon, which may be hidden and accessed by pressing and holding a blank area on the screen, provides additional functions such as cleaning, rinsing, quick information, and standby mode. The "Go back" icon allows users to return to the beverage selection screen. During peak hours, the machine can dispense into a carafe or container, enhancing efficiency. The machine also features a "Standby" mode for periods of non-use, which conserves energy by not heating the boiler. For extended idle times (less than or more than 6 weeks), specific shutdown procedures are outlined, including daily cleaning, disconnecting utilities, vacuuming beans, and proper storage. Relocation or disassembly of the machine requires contacting a manufacturer-authorized service agent.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of the Schaerer Coffee Art C. Daily cleaning is a key procedure, prompted by the machine display or performed on a daily basis. This involves removing the grounds bin, emptying, washing, rinsing, and sanitizing it within 6 seconds to prevent the machine from returning to normal operating mode. A large cleaning brush is used to wipe coffee grounds from the brew unit and surrounding areas into the drip tray, avoiding direct contact with internal parts. After replacing the metal shield and grounds bin, a Schaerer cleaning tablet (Item #9610000116) is dropped into the dome lid (located behind the front center hopper), and the cleaning cycle is activated via the touch screen. The drip tray should be flushed with water, and the machine's exterior wiped with a damp cloth to remove residue. Only Schaerer cleaning supplies (Large Cleaning Brush Item #3370067409 and Coffee Pure Cleaning Tablet Item #9610000116) should be used.
Weekly or as-needed hopper cleaning is also recommended. This involves turning the hopper counter-clockwise to unlock and remove it, emptying the beans into another container, and then washing, rinsing, and sanitizing the hopper with warm water. The hopper must be thoroughly dried with a clean, damp cloth before being realigned with the base and locked back into place by turning it clockwise. It is important not to over-turn the hopper. Users are explicitly warned not to clean bean hoppers in a dishwasher, use abrasive cleaning products, or reach into the grinder when refilling beans or operating the machine. The manual also provides a comprehensive list of error messages, their causes, and corresponding remedies, ranging from grounds container issues and grinder blockages to temperature and water supply problems, guiding users on when to perform simple fixes or contact service.
