3 INSTALLATION

• After unpacking, make sure the appliance is

complete and undamaged. If in doubt, do not
use it. Contact professionally qualified person-
nel.

• Packing elements (plastic bags, polystyrene

etc) must not be left within reach of children as
they may represent a hazard.

• Place the appliance on a work surface far

away from water taps, basins and sources of
heat.

After having positioned the appliance on the
work bench, make sure that there is a free
space of around 5 cm between the surfaces
of the appliance and the side and rear walls
and a free space of at least 20 cm above the
coffee maker.

• Never install the machine in environments

where the temperature may reach 0°C or
lower (the appliance may be damaged if the
water freezes).

• Check that the voltage of the mains power

supply corresponds to the value indicated on
the appliance’s rating plate. Only connect the
appliance to a power outlet with a minimum
rating of 10A that is properly earthed. The
manufacturer declines all liability for any acci-
dents caused if the system is not correctly
earthed.

• If the power outlet does not match the plug on

the appliance, have the outlet replaced with a
suitable type by qualified personnel.

• The power cable for this appliance must not

be replaced by the user, in that this operation
requires the use of special tools. In the event of
damage, only contact a service centre authori-
sed by the manufacturer so as to avoid any
risks.

• The water hardness should be set as soon as

possible, following the procedure described in
chapter 10.4.
