The device must be electrically connected according to all valid regulations (VDE 0100) as well
as national stipulations. The type of power cable must be at least H 07 RN-F. The voltage specified
on the serial plate must match the supply voltage at the installation location.
►
All poles of the device must be able to be disconnected from the power supply.
► Never operate a device with a faulty power cord. Have a defective power cord or plug re
-
placed immediately by a qualified service technician.
►
M. Schaerer Ltd. advises against the use of extension cables!
If an extension cable must be
used, nevertheless (minimum cross-section: 1.5 mm
2
), please observe the cable manufac-
turer’s data (instructions for use) and all local regulations.
► Power cords must be connected in such a way that no one can trip over them. Do not pull
the cords over corners or sharp edges, pinch them between objects or allow them to hang
loosely in a room. Do not place cables over hot objects, and protect them from oil and ag-
gressive cleaning agents.
► Never lift or pull the device by its power cord. Never pull the plug out of the socket by its cord.
Never touch the power cord or plug with wet hands! Never insert a wet plug into a power
socket!
The phase must be protected from short-circuits with 10 / 16A!
Water connection / draining
The water supply must be connected according to all valid regulations as well as national stip-
ula-tions. If the machine is connected to a newly installed water pipe, the pipe and the sup-
ply tube must be thoroughly rinsed so that no dirt particles can enter the machine. The coffee
maker must be connected to an installed drinking-water pipe with shutoff valve. The machine is
installed by using the mounted pressure tube and the G 1/2“ screw at the pressure relief compo-
nent mounted to the tap (set to 3 bar). If the machine is attached to a water drainage system,
the supplied temperature-resistant drain hose must be connected to the drip try and siphon. It
must be firmly attached to the drain and slanted at a downward angle (so that the water can
flow downward).
Always use the new hoses supplied with the machine (fresh-/drain water hose)! Do not use old
fresh- and drain water hoses!
The water must be
free of contaminants
and the chlorine content may not exceed
100 mg/l
. Do
not use pure
reverse osmosis
(RO) water or any other type of
aggressive
water. The carbonate
hardness may not exceed
5 – 6°dKH
(German carbonate hardness) or
8 – 10°fKH
(French car-
bonate hardness) and the total hardness must be always higher than the carbonate hardness.
The minimal carbonate hardness is
4°dKH
or
7°fKH
. The pH value must be between
6.5 – 7
.
Water pressure
Minimal pressure:
1 bar
Maximum pressure:
3 bar
We recommend setting the pressure relief valve to 3 bar!
Water ingress temperature
Minimum:
10 °C
Maximum:
30 °C
