15.0 Service and maintenance
To ensure trouble-free and satisfactory operation, it is essential that
the appliance is cleaned and decalcified regularly in accordance
with our recommendations. Despite regular care, every espresso
machine is subject to normal wear-and-tear after intensive use for a
long period. Regular checks by the SOLIS after-sales service center
or any other authorized service center will extend the useful life of
your appliance and ensure perfect coffee quality.
In Switzerland, send the appliance to:
SOLIS PRODUZIONE SA, Customer Service,
Centro SOLIS, 6850 Mendrisio
Tel. 091/646 16 65 / 646 81 36, Fax 091/646 03 62
For repairs in all other countries in which SOLIS products are
sold, send the appliance to the customer service center of the
SOLIS branch indicated on the warranty card.
Important: In accordance with our warranty conditions, any service
work may only be carried out by the SOLIS after-sales service cen-
ter or any other authorized service center. Please use the special
SOLIS Service Order Form.
16.0 Useful tips about coffee
Good coffee depends not only on the appliance but also on the
water, the blend of coffee, the grinding, the temperature etc.
You should keep the following tips in mind:
– Always use fresh coffee and dark roasts, such as the SOLIS
products specially blended for use with espresso machines.
– Coffee should always be stored in a closed container in a cool
place.
– If the coffee flows too quickly or too slowly, the reason is usually
an incorrect grinding adjustment.
Coffee flows too quickly: adjust the grinder to a lower position,
e.g. pos. 2
Coffee flows too slowly: adjust the grinder to a higher position,
e.g. pos. 5
