INSTALLATION AND START UP
Only use safe drinking water with a hardness rating between 5ºfH and 8ºfH (French hardness
degrees). 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 quality and taste of the coffee will be negatively affected.
If drinking water is not within the ratings shown above, a water filter must be installed inline ahead
of the espresso machine. Failure to install a water filter will result in voiding of the warranty and
any damage resulting from limescale buildup will be the responsibility of the owner.
· Water filter requirements
· Mains water connection
1.
Connecting the machine to the domestic water supply must be performed by a qualified
person.
Contact a service technician to do this task you are not confident about performing
the steps below.
2. Purge at least 20 liters of water from the domestic water supply before connecting the machine
to it to flush out any debris that may be in the plumbing system that would otherwise accumulate
inside the boilers.
3.
The domestic plumbing system should be fitted with a brass 3/8” NPT male pipe fitting and
an in-line shut-off valve. Connect the 180cm water inlet hose included with the machine to
the domestic water supply and tighten the line fittings with a wrench to 15 ft. lbs. / 20N-m.
Important:
To prevent limescale build up in
the boiler and other components,
a water-softening system must be
installed in-line ahead of the machine.
Read more on section for water filter
requirements.
Important:
Use the inlet hose included with the
machine to connect it to the water mains
in accordance with the national rules
applicable in the country where machine
is installed. Never reuse damaged hoses
1.
Ensure that a water filtration device or system is installed in-line in the domestic water
supply ahead the machine to prevent contamination inside the machine’s hydraulic
system.
Contact a service technician to do this task if you are not confident about
performing the steps below.
2.
Open the water tap and allow the filter to fill (if new/previously unused). Then the
machine’s steam boiler will begin to fill. Check carefully around the service area for leaks
or drips. If leaks/drips are detected turn off the tap immediately and check/tighten any
leaking fittings.
3. If necessary, connect the machine to a water softener to reduce water hardness using the
flexible 55cm hose included in the accessory box.
Filtration device
Important:
Always maintain the water filtration device or system in accordance with the manufacture’s
specifications. Failure to routinely maintain the filtration device or system will result in
limescale build-up inside the machine’s hydraulic system which will eventually result in
machine failure. Please read more under the cleaning and care section.
