SERVICELINE TIPS & HINTS

BEVERAGE MACHINES, WATER BOILERS: MAINTENANCE TIPS

1. Machines plugged into a 13 amp socket will need to be PAT tested, along with all other electric Portable Appliances.

2. Pressure boilers need a Pressure Vessel inspection annually by your Insurance Company. To save cost, arrange for your service engineer to service the boiler at the same time.

3. Hard water scale causes most maintenance problems in boilers and beverage machines. Always use a water treatment device recommended by the manufacturer.

4. If a filter cartridge is fitted, it will need regular replacement. Make sure your supplier advises you when this is likely to be needed.

5. Plan to have the boiler inspected and descaled regularly. A hot tap boiler won’t pour properly when scale hardens around the spout, which could cause scalding.

6. Descalant powders and liquids can be hazardous, and are covered by COSHH regulations. Make sure a competent person does the descaling, and flushes it thoroughly before resuming service.

7. Coffee grounds will find their way into every crevice, so make sure that coffee machines are cleaned rigorously, before a service engineer has to take it all apart to clean.
