1.6 Intended use
1.6.1 Area of use
NOTE
The Tea Fusion machine may only be used for the preparation of teas using Tea Fusion by Lipton
original capsules. The capsules have been manufactured and filled on behalf of Unilever Food
Solutions, using high quality loose leaf products, specially selected and prepared for use in the
Tea Fusion machine. In case of other than intended use, incorrect operation, incorrect connection
or improper maintenance/repair by untrained staff, no liability is assumed for any damage. All
warranty services are excluded in such cases.
To ensure hygienic, safe, high quality beverages, and reliable operation of the machine, product
capsules must never be re-filled or re-used.
The Tea Fusion machine is a beverage dispenser for commercial indoor use designed to dispense tea using
capsules from Unilever Food Solutions. Cup sizes between 270ml and 370ml are programmable by your local
service provider. Cycle times are automatically adjusted by the machine depending on the cup size chosen, and
vary between around 1 minute for the small cup, and 90 seconds for the large cup size.
The expected machine lifetime is 5 years assuming that the machine is serviced according to the manufacturers
recommendations, based on a nominal usage of 75 cups per day. If the consumption is more than 150 cups per
day it is advised to install more than 1 machine. Only by using tea capsules from Unilever Food Solutions can
the highest quality of hot drinks be reached.
Please contact your service partner for more information.
