Espresso machine installation, linea mini
1) Fill water reservoir with potable water.

Once the espresso machine has been 
unpackaged, placed on a hard surface.
Remove the drain tray and slide the water 

reservoir until the water reservoir fill  cover 
is  accessible.  Remove  the  cover  and  fill 

water reservoir with potable water. Replace 

the fill cover and slide the water reservoir 

to the operating position and replace the 
drain tray. In order to connect the machine 
up to the water mains proceed according 
to the indications given in the Installation 
Guide and in compliance with any local/
national safety standards of the location in 
which the machine is being installed. 
To guarantee a correct and safe functioning 
of the machine and to maintain an adequate 
performance level and a high quality of the 
beverages being brewed it is important 
that the incoming water be of a hardness 

greater than 7°f (70ppm, 4°d) and less 
than 10°f (100ppm, 6°d), pH should be 
between 6.5 and 8.5 and the quantity of 
chlorides be less than 50mg/l .  Respecting 
these values allows the machine to operate 

at maximum efficiency. If these parameters 
are not present, a specific filtration device 

should be installed, while always adhering 
to the local national standards in place 
regarding potable water.

In order to enable 
you to check if 
your water supply 
is within the 
suggested ranges, 
La Marzocco 
machines will be 
equipped with 
two units of a 
quick water test 
kit (see image 
below) including 
6 test-strips and 
instruction cards.

The parameters that you can measure are 
Total Hardness, Total Iron, Free Chlorine,  

Total  Chlorine,  pH  &  Total    Alkalinity, 

Chlorides.
Ideally, you should perform a test on the 
water BEFORE the water treatment system 
and again AFTER the water system in order 

4. Installation

WARNING

The coffee machine must be 

placed in a horizontal position on 

a counter higher than 90 cm from 

the ground. 

WARNING

The expansion valve can discharge 

water as hot as 200°F / 93°C. 

Adequate protection for handling 

this component is needed before 

attempting to adjust.

WARNING

This machine is not suitable for 

outdoor use.

WARNING

The machine is intended to be 

permanently connected to mains 

power supply.

It is mandatory that a residual 

current device (RCD) with a rated 

residual operating current not 

exceeding 30 mA is installed.
