7.0 MAINTENANCE AND INACTIVITY
7.1 Cleaning and Loading
So as to guarantee the correct functioning of the distributor during
time it is necessary to effect some operations periodically, some of
which are indispensable for the observance of the health standard
norms. These operations must be done with the distributor open and
switched off. The cleaning operations must be effected before the lo-
ading of the products. In order to guarantee normal operation, the machine
must be installed in areas that the environmental temperature is between a
minimum of +5°C and a maximum of +32°C end humidity of not over 65%.
Must not be installed in places where cleaning is done with water hoses (e.g.
industrial, civilian and similar kitchens).
Do not use water jets to clean the machine.
7.1.1 Recommended maintenance
Bianchi Industry spa guarantees the proper operation of its
distributor over time only with a preventive maintenance carried
out in compliance with the provisions listed below:
TYPE OF INTERVENTION
Softener regeneration
(*Resins)
Replacement of piston equipped
with filters and gask
Replacement of entire coffee
group
Decalcification of espresso boiler
and solenoid valves
Replacement of grinders
Decalcification of instant drink
boiler and solenoid valve
* if not otherwise recommended by the softener supplier.
7.1.2 Periodic cleaning by the maintenance technician

paper, tissues etc).Once the waste has been disposed of it is possible to
clean the surrounding area.
-
elimination of the coarse dirt
-
disinfecting of the flooring and walls of the area surrounding the machine
up to a radius of 1 metre around the distributor
-
once this is complete proceed with opening the distributor.
7.1.3
Daily cleaning recommended
The objective is that to avoid the creation of bacteria in the food zone
areas.
For all cleaning operations follow the instructions indicated in para-
graph 7.3.1.
Operate as follows:
-
clean all the visible parts in the dispensing area. (Fig. 7.1 e Fig. 7.2)

Before effecting the re-assembly operations clean all the elements carefully.
– remove all coffee powder residue; the unit can be removed from its hou-
sing to make the task easier (Fig. 7.6)
7.1.4
Product loading
When necessary provide for the loading of the products and/or consumption
materials of the automatic vending machine. For these operations please
refer to the operations described under chapter 4.6.
7.2 Ordinary and Extraordinary Maintenance
The operations described in this section are purely indicative as they are
tied to variable factors such as the water hardness, humidity, products
used and workload, etc.
For all operations that require the disassembly of the distri-
butors' components, make sure that the latter is switched off.
Entrust the operations mentioned here below to qualified personnel.
If the operations require that the distributor be switched on, entrust them
to specially trained personnel.
For more complicated interventions, such as removing the lime build-up
in the boilers a good knowledge of the equipment is necessary.
No. of COUN
Monthly effect the debacterisation of all the parts in contact with food sub-
stances using
chlorine based solutions following the operations already
described under chapter 4.5.3.
COFFEE MACHINE TIMING CHECK PROCEDURE
Ensure that during the idle state, the rotating index is aligned with the stage
index (see fig. 7.7)
Ensure that during the delivery stage that the rotating index is not more than
1.5 mm in advance of the delivery reference point (the rotating index must be
at a delivery position of between 0 and 1.5 mm from the delivery point).
