Users

Technical specifications

The specifications given in this document may not be modified.

Modifications

Modification of (parts of) the machine is not allowed.

Installation

- The maximum acceptable ambient temperature with which a good operation can be guaranteed is 40°C.

- Never install the machine in an environment where the temperature can drop below 0°C.

- Do not turn over the machine, move it upright.

●Never install the machine in places where water is sprayed or sprinkled.

- Never install the machine in front of entrances, exits or passageways intended for emergency services.

- Place the machine on a sufficiently solid, flat surface close to a water connection, water discharge and an earthed electrical power outlet.

- Connect the machine to the electrical supply in such a way that the power can easily be disconnected.

- Machines hard wired into mains electricity supply we advise to use an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) of the appropriate rating (max. 30 mA).

- Leave sufficient space at the back and front of the machine for maintenance and repair purposes.

- The machine should be connected to the electricity mains in such a way that all phases and the zero can easily be disconnected. The minimum distance between the contacts and the disconnected position should be at least 3 mm.

- Connect the machine to a readily accessible, manually operated water tap, so that the water supply can easily be turned off.

●Always observe local rules and standards when installing this machine.

Use

- Inspect the machine before use and check for damages.

- Protect the machine against water and moisture. Do not wet the machine by spraying and never submerge the machine in water.

- Keep the operating controls free from dirt and grease.

●Note that during use some parts of the machine become very hot.

- Disconnect the electricity grid and the water supply when the machine will not be used for a longer period. Clean the machine following the instructions. Discharge the water.

- Should the internal water ways of the machine become frozen, disconnect from the mains, turn off the water supply and disconnect and place the machine in a warm environment until the water ways have defrosted. Inspect and test machine for water leakage.

Maintenance and repairing failures

- Repair and maintenance activities not included in this document must always be carried out by service mechanics.

- If the mains lead is visibly damaged, it has to be replaced by a qualified service technician.

- Observe the given maintenance intervals. Overdue maintenance can lead to high repair costs and may cause guarantee claims to become invalid.

- Do not carry out any maintenance activities concerning the machine before having it protected against unintentional coming into operation. In such cases disconnect the electricity grid.

●Never leave the machine during maintenance activities.

- For cleaning the machine only use the cleansing agent and descaler recommended by the manufacturer.

- Always wear suitable facial protection and gloves while working with cleansing and descaling materials. Wash your hands after using these materials.

- Prevent damage of the machine caused by spilled descaler solution. Remove spilled solution as quickly as possible and follow the previously mentioned safety instructions.

Safety devices present

The machine is default provided with the following safety devices:

- Using the ON/OFF-switch the machine is switched on or off. After switching off there is still some residual voltage in the electrical system. Remove the plug from the wall outlet in order to take away this residual voltage.

– Drip-tray to prevent trouble caused by spilled drink.

- Overflow protection that prevents the machine from taking in more water than allowed.

- Thermal safety device that interrupts the power when the water temperature in the boiler becomes too high.

- Over-pressure protection, only in modules 4 and 8, which prevents the pressure within the boiler from reaching unacceptable levels.

Machines and the environment

Packaging material

The main components of the packaging material for transport and protection of the machine are the following:

- Corrugated board

– Polystyrene elements

Generally, the packaging material can be returned through your dealer after installation of the machine. If this is not possible, ask your local authority refuse department how you can dispose of the materials.

Disposal of the machine

Machines that you wish to dispose of can usually after consultation be returned to your dealer. If this is not possible, inquire with your local authority about the possibilities for re-use or environmentally-friendly processing of the materials. All plastic parts have been clearly coded for this purpose. The printed-circuit board in the machine and the components connected to this should be consigned to electrical or electronic refuse.

1. GENERAL

1.1 The machine

1.1.1 General description

The machines from the RLX series are designed for making coffee, for supplying hot water and for heating drinks using steam.

One machine is an assembly comprising one or more modules.

In this document, the general information for all modules is discussed.

Please also read the user instructions for the specific modules.

1.1.2 The modules

The figures in the model description indicate the modules comprising your particular machine.

In table 1, the various standard modules are shown.

Module Type Remark
1 coffeewithglassjug
2 widebodywithhotplate
3 hotwaterlowmodel
4 hotwater/steamlowmodel
5 coffeewithcontainer
6 coffeewithairpot
7 hotwaterhighmodel
8 hotwater/steamhighmodel

Table 1 The various modules

Example:

The RLX 231 comprises:

• a wide body module (2) on the left,
• a low model hot-water module (3) in the middle, and
• a glass-jug coffee module (1) on the right.

TIP

- See the fold-out for the standard models.

1.1.3 Preferred circuit

Depending on the configuration, your machine may be equipped with a preferred circuit. An electronic circuit within the machine will make sure that no two high-powered modules can be switched on at the same time. If your machine is equipped with a preferred circuit, the coffee module will be in the preferred position. This means that the other modules will be switched off or partly switched off by the control system, as soon as the coffee module is switched on. Ask your Bravilor Bonamat® dealer, your service technician, or one of the service agencies about the various options.
