For a comprehensive list, refer to the images provided (Figure 3 and Figure 4) or consult your coffee machine's original documentation.

Note: If your specific model is not listed or you are unsure about compatibility, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician for assistance.

Installation Instructions

Replacing the coffee spout requires careful handling of your coffee machine. It is recommended to consult your coffee machine's service manual or a qualified technician if you are not comfortable performing this procedure.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Screwdriver set (appropriate for your coffee machine's casing)
• Small pry tool (optional, for plastic clips)
• Clean cloth

Procedure:

1. Power Disconnection: Ensure the coffee machine is unplugged from the power outlet before beginning any work.
2. Accessing the Spout: Depending on your specific Siemens EQ.7 model, you may need to remove the front panel or top cover to access the internal coffee spout assembly. Refer to your machine's service manual for precise instructions on disassembling the casing.
3. Disconnecting the Old Spout: Carefully locate the existing coffee spout. It is typically held in place by clips or small screws. Disconnect any hoses or tubes attached to the old spout. Note their orientation for reassembly.
4. Removing the Old Spout: Once disconnected, gently unclip or unscrew the old coffee spout and remove it from the machine.
5. Installing the New Spout: Position the new DL-pro coffee spout in the same location as the old one. Ensure it clicks securely into place or is fastened with screws, mirroring the original installation.
6. Reconnecting Hoses/Tubes: Reattach any hoses or tubes to the new spout, ensuring they are firmly connected and not kinked.
7. Reassembly: Carefully reassemble the coffee machine's casing, ensuring all screws and clips are properly secured.
8. Testing: Plug the coffee machine back into the power outlet. Perform a test brew cycle (e.g., a water rinse or a single coffee) to ensure the new spout functions correctly and there are no leaks.

Disclaimer: Improper installation can damage your coffee machine. If you are unsure about any step, seek professional assistance.

Operating Function

The DL-pro coffee spout functions as the final dispensing point for brewed coffee in your Siemens EQ.7 series machine. Once installed, it operates automatically as part of the machine's brewing cycle.

• Dual Dispensing: The two outlets allow for simultaneous dispensing of two cups of coffee, or a single cup with a wider stream, depending on the machine's programming.
• Integrated Design: The spout is designed to integrate seamlessly with the machine's internal mechanisms, ensuring proper flow and preventing drips.

No user interaction is required with the spout itself during normal operation, beyond ensuring it is clean and free of obstructions.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning of the coffee spout is crucial for maintaining coffee quality and preventing blockages. Coffee residues can accumulate over time, affecting taste and flow.

Cleaning Procedure:

1. Daily Rinse: After each use, if your machine has an automatic rinse cycle for the spout, ensure it completes. Otherwise, wipe the exterior of the spout with a damp, clean cloth.
2. Weekly Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, if your machine allows for easy removal of the spout without full disassembly, remove it and rinse under warm running water. Use a small brush (like a pipe cleaner or a soft toothbrush) to gently clean inside the outlets and any accessible channels.
3. Deep Cleaning (Monthly/Bi-monthly): If the spout is removable, soak it in a solution of warm water and a mild coffee machine cleaning tablet or descaling solution for 15-30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with clean water before reattaching.
4. Check for Blockages: Periodically inspect the outlets for any visible coffee grounds or mineral deposits. Use a toothpick or a thin, non-abrasive tool to carefully dislodge any blockages.

Caution: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or sharp objects that could scratch or damage the plastic material of the spout.
