General Safety Rules - Fountain Opéra Creamy Manuel Technique

Descaling the water tank
Depending on the local water quality, it will be necessary to remove
scale from the machine at regular intervals to ensure correct
operation and optimum performance. Fountain recommends
Everpure ScaleKleen, which is available from your dealer in 50g
sachets. To descale the machine:
Allow the machine to reach operating temperature
Switch off and disconnect from the mains supply
Pour one 50g sachet of descaling crystals into tank and stir
thoroughly
Wait for 30 minutes and check that all scale has dissolved
Remove back panel and drain water from tank using drain tube
Rinse tank thoroughly with clean cold water then replace plug
in drain tube and refit back panel
Fill tank, reconnect to mains supply and switch on. Allow 25
minutes for water to reach operating temperature
SAFETY FEATURES*
A thermostat controls the water temperature in your machine. In
the unlikely event of failure, a thermal reset device protects the
machine. This will switch off the power to the heater if the
temperature becomes too high.
If the machine suddenly stops heating, it is probable that this reset
has operated. To re-start the machine, please contact your dealer.
CARE & MAINTENANCE*
CLEANING
The drip tray should be removed and cleaned at least once a week.
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with a soft cloth and
proprietary products providing no abrasives are used.
DESCALING
As with any water heating appliance, lime scale will be produced in
hard-water areas. To ensure that your machine remains efficient it
should be descaled at regular intervals. Your Fountain dealer can
carry this out.
If you wish to descale the machine yourself, you will need descaling
crystals and a siphon pump to remove the treated water from the
tank. These items are available from your Fountain dealer, along
with full instructions for their use.
FREEZING
Your machine should not be installed in places where the
temperature could drop below 0° Celsius.
IF YOU THINK THE WATER IS FROZEN, DO NOT SWITCH ON THE
MACHINE.
Disconnect from the power supply and allow the machine to thaw.
Inspect water tank for any damage or leaks. If undamaged, refill
with water and reconnect the power supply
