3  Document Scope – Caveats and Clarifications 

This manual includes material that both duplicates and enhances the official LaSpaziale 

S1 Vivaldi II Instruction Manual in key areas. However, it does not duplicate the detailed 

and very important information covering machine certifications or ratings nor does it 

repeat all the warning and safety information contained on the “lawyer” pages.  That 

information, as contained in LaSpaziale Instruction Manual, is considered included in 

this document by reference. 
This document solely covers the S1 Vivaldi II plus options available and supported by 

Chris Coffee Service and/or other vendors supplied by Chris Coffee Service through its 

exclusive distribution agreements with La Spaziale S.p.A. 

4  Basic Machine Operation 

(

BOLD 

= lamps, 

Reverse 

= buttons, numbers in parentheses reference to above table) 

4.1  15A or 20 Amp Operation 

Please read this section first, especially if you purchased the 20A version of the 
LaSpaziale VII but do not currently have an available 20A outlet. 

The LaSpaziale VII is available in 15A and 20A versions. In actuality, they are both 

identical machines.  There is an internal switch that selects the operating mode and 

they have different power cords installed.  The power cord is the easiest way to tell 

which version you have.  The 15A VII has a standard 3-prong AC plug with two parallel 

blades and a round ground pin.  The 20A VII has a 3-prong plug with two perpendicular 

blades and a round ground pin.  The 20A version therefore requires a 20A circuit which 

has a special 20A outlet which accepts the 20A plug.  
Most modern kitchens have 20A circuits.  However, they often do not use 20A outlets 

because multiple outlets may be on the same 20A circuit.  If you have a 20A circuit with 

a 20A outlet this most likely means that outlet has its own dedicated 20A circuit and is 

safe to use with the VII.  A 20A circuit with normal 15A outlets probably means that
