INSTALLATION AND START UP
Drain connection checklist
Water filter requirements
1. Connect one end of the flexible drain
tube to the drain cup outlet by inserting
it through the access hole in the panel
mounted in the bottom of the chassis. (It
is located under the drip tray and grill.
Contact a service technician to do this
task you are unsure how to access this
area of the machine.)
2. Connect the other end of the drain tube
to the domestic plumbing drainage system
in the service area.
3. Replace/reinstall the drip tray and grill.

Pro Tip:
Ensure that the drainage tube is not twisted and that it is below the level of the drain cup to
prevent trapping water and other residue in the tube which could mold or produce bad smells.
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.
