Here you will find information about installing an espresso machine.


 

Installation


 

Step 1:

 

  • Install the machine on a level, sturdy, and water-resistant surface approximately 110 cm above floor level for ease of access and usage. 
  • Adjust the feet to ensure that it dispenses coffee evenly to all cups. 
  • Ensure enough free space is available above (>30 cm) and behind (>10 cm) the machine to ensure easy cleaning and maintenance and adequate ventilation. 
  • Do not install the machine if it is wet or damp. Allow it to dry completely and ask a service technician to ensure that none of the electrical components have been affected.

 

Step 2:

  • Ensure that the domestic electrical supply where the machine is being installed is rated for and able to provide the power required by the machine. Insufficient power supply, wiring, grounding, or insulation can result in overheating and the possibility of fire.
     
  • Connecting the appliance to the water supply must be done by experienced personnel. Before connecting purge the first 20 Liters of water to flush out any debris or impurities that may be in the plumbing system.

ATTENTION!

Do not connect the machine to the domestic power supply via extension cords, plug adapters, or shared outlets.

 

Only use the hoses supplied with the machine. Ensure that the drainage tube is not twisted and that it is below the level of the drain cup.

NOTE: The recommended calcium water hardness is between 20 to 32 ppm (1.2 dH - 1.8 dH). If the hardness value is below this limit, corrosion of hydraulic components is likely. If the value is higher, lime-scaling inside the boiler will occur. In both cases, the proper function of the machine and the quality and taste of the coffee will be negatively affected.

  • The boiler pressure is directly controlled by the water temperature. The appliance is supplied with a pressure gauge that displays the boiler pressure, if the appliance is equipped with a digital display it will also indicate water temperature.

Step 4: (Getting ready for use)

  • Open the machine’s water supply valve. 
  • Turn on the main power switch. 
  • Press a drink button on the control panel on each group, wait until the water comes out continuously from each of them. This ensures that the heat exchangers in the appliance are correctly placed. 
  • Open the steam lever to release the air trapped in the boiler. 
  • The red lamp indicates that the boiler is heating. The lamp switches off automatically when the machine reaches operating temperature. 
  • The machine is now ready to use.
