5. Installation
• The installation must be carried out by authorized La San Marco technical personnel.
• The coffee machine is delivered in a suitable packing. The packing contains the machine and its ac-
cessories, the user manual and the conformity declaration. After opening the packing, check the proper
condition of the coffee machine and its components. In case of doubt, do not use the appliance, and
contact La San Marco S.p.A.
• All of the packaging must be carefully conserved in case the machine needs to be tran sported in the future.
• The machine should be placed on a perfectly horizontal plane suffi ciently sturdy to support the weight of the
machine, with a suffi cient clearance around it to dissipate the heat generated during its operation.
• Do not install the espresso coffee machine in places where cleaning is likely to be car ried out with jets of
water. Do not immerge the unit in water to clean it.
• For safety against hazards related to electrical currents, keep the machine away from sinks, tubs, aquariums,
taps, and areas that are wet or where water may splash.
• The machine creates heat. Therefore it needs to be placed in a room that is suffi ciently ventilated to ensure heat
dissipation. Keep the machine away from sources of direct heat.
• Make sure that the voltage of the power socket does not differ from that indicated on the technical data
and on the identifi cation tag on the machine. If the voltage is diffe rent, do not connect the machine. This may
be dangerous and may damage the unit.
5.1 Equipment provided
The machine packing contains the equipment kit, which includes the following items:
- FIlter cups with fi lter restraint ring
- Filters for fi lter cups (single and double doses)
- blind fi lter for fi lter cup
- spouts for fi lter cups (single and double doses)
- press for ground coffee
- braided 900mm with stainless steel tube for water connection (water supply - water softener)
- rubber drain hose with steel coil for water drain
- 3/8” nipples for hose connection to water supply tube

5.2 Water mains set-up
FEEDING LINE
Bring the water feeding tube (of at least 3/8” diameter) up to the machine and install an on-off valve (preferably
of 3/8” ball type) that allows a rapid opening and closing operation.
DRAIN LINE
Provide an inspectable drainage pit on the fl oor connected with the sink drainage line, suitable for receiving the
machine gravity drainage tube. The drain tube must be positioned so that the water ~ ows out freely, without
possibility for the pipe to clog up during the operation.
5.3 Water softener (optional)
The water softener for softening the mains water can be manual or automatic, depending on customer’s re-
quest.
Before connecting the water softener to the coffee machine, the resins contained in it should be
washed off as described in the user’s manual supplied with the appliance.
Note:
The water softener is considered an essential device to guarantee a proper operation of the espresso coffee ma-
chine. A water softening system should be provided in order to guarantee the effi ciency, performance and duration
of the components in the machine.
