Water supply
Rated pressure:
0.1-0.5 MPa (1-5 bar)
Rated flow:
minimum 4 litre/minute
The water supply should be able to deliver a minimum amount of 4 litres per minute in the range 0.1-
0.5 MPa (1-5 bar). The machine and accompanying rotary vane pump must be connected with the
supplied new set of high-pressure hoses (two hoses, each 1.5 meter long), old hose-sets should not
be re-used. The distance between water treatment system and pump and the distance between pump
and machine cannot be greater than 1.5 meter unless there is appropriate material available to
increase these distances.
Notes!
Not included in the shipment are supplies to make the connection between the water-tap and the
water treatment system.
National rules/regulations may apply when the appliance is connected to the water mains.
Water treatment system
The water treatment system should also be able to deliver a minimum amount of 4 litres per minute
and should at least have a carbon block that not only traps drug-remnants, Chlorine and organic
compounds but also prevents rigid particles >30 μm to enter the pump.
If the resulting
water does not fall into the SCA “core-zone” (see Figure 2) have additional treatment
installed.
Notes!
Flush the water treatment system according to the manufacturers instruction before connecting it to
the pump-inlet.
Make sure that the functioning of the water treatment system will be checked on a regular basis.
Waste/drain
The appliance has two drain hoses: one for the drip tray and one for the machine itself. These semi-
flexible hoses have an external diameter of 20 mm (inner diameter: 16 mm). The hoses must slope
downwards all the way from machine to waste to prevent clogging. The waste at the location should
have a minimum inside diameter of 38 mm to accommodate for the two hoses and incorporate a
water-lock to prevent smelly odours.
Machine location
The machine is only to be installed in locations where it can be overseen by trained personnel.
Areas where a water-jet could be used are not suitable as location for the machine.
Counter surface
The countertop must be sturdy eno
ugh to easily support the machines’ weight (when filled: up to
100kg) plus extra equipment (one or two coffee-grinders,
tableware, …). The surface should have a
height of 95-100 cm and be smooth, flat and horizontal.
It is advised to think about the location of holes in the countertop where the water and waste hoses
and electric cables should pass before the machine is installed.
Pump location
There should be nearby space for the electric motor with rotary vane pump. The pump-assembly
should not be able to touch the walls of the cabinet it is located in to prevent noise. Further noise
reduction can be achieved by placing the assembly on a 2-4cm thick rubber-foam sheet with
dimensions: 16x30cm (not supplied with machine). The pump will be electrically connected to the
espresso machine with an approximately 2 m long cable.
Areas where a water-jet could be used are not suitable as location for the pump-assembly.
Make sure there is air-flow possible near the motor to prevent overheating.
