    • Maintenance

      • Maintenance kit espressogroup 37 & 44mm

        • Welcome

          This instruction will show you how to replace the parts from the maintenance kit in your espresso group.

          We recommend the installation of this kit after the group has made more than 25.000 cups.

          If the coffee machine display shows 'service brewer' in the display it reached the internal counter of 25.000 cups. 

          The installation of this kit replaces the parts which are in contact with the coffee to ensure you a good espresso process and functioning of the espresso group.

        • There are two different sized maintenance kits.

          • 1004917 Maintenance kit 37mm espresso group.
          • 1004918 Maintenance kit 44mm espresso group.

          Always check if you have the right kit on you for the espresso group you need to service. The espresso groups are marked with a silver label which informs you if its a 37 or an 44mm.

          Both espresso groups are used in the: 

          • OptiBean NG
          • OptiBean Touch
          • OptiMe

          Unpack the package and check the contents:

          • lower piston (assembled) with V-seal (green) and st.st. douche 35µm
          • upper micro filter 150µm for upper piston
          • big o-ring
          • small o-ring
          • wiper
          • rubber socket
          • hose 530mm (OptiBean) 
          • hose 320mm (OptiMe)
          • spring
          • card with QR code

          See "Warning" for early models OptiBean 2011-2015

          See also "Alternative" for availability individual parts

          See "FIX" for upgrade 44mm brewer

        • Something is NEW!

          The maintenance kit looks different from what you are used to. 

          During the year 2020 the 37mm espresso group is executed with a new type seal used in the lower piston. The 44mm espresso group follows later, but the maintenance kit is already available.

          The new seal in the lower piston is V-shaped and made from silicon, because of the flexibility of this material it keeps contact with the espresso chamber from top to bottom when it moves with a minimum of friction.

          Because the new assembly (shaft / piston / V-seal & filter) is longer, the complete lower piston need to be replaced! 

        • Disconnect the espresso group connections

          1. Open the door
          2. Switch OFF the machine
          3. Remove the stainless steel cover

        • Clean the grinderdiscs preventivly yearly:

          Manual cleaning: "Cleaning Grinderdiscs" 

        • Preventive renewal the 4 bar expansion valve and 14 bar safety valve every 3 Year 

          Link to swipeguide: "Replacement 4+14 bar valve"  

          TIP:

          When these valve are still in brass, upgrade always to the plastic (current) versions of these 2 valves

        • Yearly grease the pressure regulation valve of the Espressopump

          Link to swipeguide: 

          "Maintenance procon rotationpump" 

          TIP:

          Can easily be combined with renewal 4+14 bar valves (see previous slide)

        • Renew the cartridge of the water filter system yearly and reset the counter 2.06"service boiler"/2.06.02 "reset service counter"

          Tip:

          • Set 2.06.01 "months" to 12 (default=0 months) in case you do not know the yearly average cups made with this machine
          • Set 2.06.01"cups" (and months) to zero in case the annual yearly visit does not to be triggered by the machine itself
          • Grease the door lock using a teflon spray
          • Close the door and take a test-drink to see if everything is still working fine
      • Maintenance (2 yearly) on Procon rotation pump (showing in Touch menu)

        • This Instruction covers the preventive maintenance that must be performed every 2 years on the OptiBean rotary pumps.

          If this is forgotten, there is a risk that the internal pressure control valve will stick due to deposits and as a result the pressure will become too high, resulting in:

          1. while making a coffee recipe, the hot water valve opens unintentionally
          2. During the brewing process, the mixer valve Dv2 opens unintentionally

          In both cases, it is sufficient to perform the maintenance operations described in this swipeguide regarding the pump. 

          The dosing valves (see 1/2) are okay, but not resistant to pressures around / above 12 bar.

        • Disconnect the main cable from the backside of the machine, making the machine safe to work on without electrical power.

        • Take out the 2 screws from the back cover

          and remove it

        • Unsrew the pressure adjustment shaft from the Procon pump completely using a wrench nr. 17

        • Take out the moving shaft+o-ring and grease the 

          O-ring with a little foodgrade grease.

          Beware of loosing the spring behind the moving shaft!

        • After greasing the O-ring put the complete assembly back into the pump and fasten it again with te wrench nr. 17.

          Note: If you did not adjust the central screw, the pump pressure will be correct again (8-10 bar)

        • If you get the message "remove supply hose and press enter (V)" :

          • Close the water tap towards the machine
          • Push enter (see picture)

          Now you get the message: "System is depressurised"

          At this point: Abort the shutdown programm by simply removing the powercable at the backside

          Now your machine is safe to work on!

        • Take out the power cord

          1. Remove both screws of the back cover
          2. Remove the back cover
        • Remove the screw underneath the fan

        • Take out the fan and remove the wiring from the clips. 

          Now you have good acces to the 4 bar and 14 bar valves.

          1. Use a plier tho remove the clamp from the hose
          2. Remove the hose from the metal tube
          1. Use a plier to remove the clamp from the hose
          2. Remove the hose from the metal tube
        • Use a wrench nr.8 to remove the right angled fitting from DV6 (Coil is facing downwards)

          1. Put the powercord into the backside connector
          2. Open the water tap 
          3. Let the machine heat up 
          4. As soon as it allows you: take a Hot Water recipe to restore the boiler pressure and to bleed the boiler (all air out of boiler)
          5. Make a coffee test drink and make sure nothing is leaking
          6. Refit the back cover
          7. Refit the 2 screws of the back cover
      • Checking & adjusting the Procon pump pressure

        • This guide will instruct you how to check the pump pressure and how to adjust it in case of renewal of the Procon rotation pump

        • To proceed you need the manometer from the service kit OptiBean art.nr.1004955

          1. Press the wrench key on the service keypad inside machine door to access the operator menu.
          2. Close the door

          1. Navigate to "Pincode" and confirm with V
          2. Enter the service menu by pincode 2-2-2-2-2
          3. Navigate to 2.14/installation and confirm (V)
          4. Choose "shut down" and confirm (V)
          5. The message "remove supply hose and press enter "shows: now close water tap towards machine and confirm (V)
        • If message shows: "remove drain plug and press enter (V)"

          DO NOT proceed with V, but take out the main cable from backside machine to disconnect from electrical network (see next slide)

          Tip: By doing like indicated above, the shut down program is aborted and you're allowed to service the boilerssystem. The boiler is now depressurised and therefore safe to work on

        • Remove the power cord

        • Remove both (L+R) screws from the back cover and remove cover.

          1. Disconnect the drain plug (+fitting) completely from the drain tube 
          2. Insert the drain tube firmly into the manometer fitting, making sure it will not leak.
          3. Now you're ready to monitor the pump pressure during a drink
          1. Connect the main cable to the machine and start-up the machine
          2. Take 1 coffee recipe to restore the boiler pressure to 4 bar (ready for next recipe/pre-infusion)
        • Check the manometer after dispencing a coffee recipe for the correct 4 bar (Pre) boilerpressure.

          Note: If the expansion valve is worn out or from an older type it might be less pressure (3 bar) 

          When the pressure on the manometer fades to zero in the 15 minutes after making a drink, indeed the expansion valve is leaking (worn out) and needs to be replaced

        • In the servicemenu 2.07.02.08 Hardwaretest/Calibration/Pump

          • You can "Activate" the pump and check the pre-adjusted pumppressure.
          • It should be set between 9,5-10 bar.
          • Turn the adjustment screw on the pump head to get it right (see next slide)

        • Now: dispence a coffee recipe and during the dispencing , check the manometer if it reaches a pressure between 7-10 bar (depending on coarseness coffee and used brewer type) This is Okay!

          If not: check the coarseness of your grounded coffee and make it finer (mostly) and try again.

        • In the hardwaretest and during the dispence of a coffee drink, you can increase-decrease the pump pressure by turning the central adjustment screw

          Note: Screw in (clockwise) = more pressure

        • During the dispence of a coffee drink, the pressure wil slowly build up towards the 8,5-10 bar (max)

          Note: when using an XL/44mm instead of the standard 37mm brewer, the actual measured pressure will be lower due to the fact the diameter is bigger!

          Using a 37 mm brewer: if the 8,5-10 bar cannot be reached during dispensing, despite the fact that the coarseness of the beans is okay, probably your pump-head is defective and needs to be replaced

          Goto:

          Renewal of the Procon rotation pump 

        • To remove the manometer again from your machine:

          4. As soon as it allows you to make a drink take a Hot Water recipe to restore the boiler pressure and to bleed the boiler (all air out of boiler)
          5. Make a coffee test drink and make sure nothing is leaking
          6. Refit the back cover
        • When your boiler was leaking this is mostly caused by agressive water.

          Check your general waterhardness and the by-pass setting on your waterfilter, following instructions for vending machines of your filtersupplier .

          Minimum hardness after the filter should be 2-3 Carbon hardness! 

          Lower will damage your new boiler and other machineparts again!
