Water connection/drain
Conditions
CAUTION!
Risk of machine
damage!
The machine can suffer damage due to bad material and incorrect water values.
It is imperative that the following points are complied with:
•
The water must be free of contaminants and the chlorine content must not exceed 50 mg
mg per litre.
•
Do not connect the machine to pure reverse osmosis water or other aggressive types of
water.
•
The carbonate hardness must not exceed 5 – 6°dKH (German carbonate hardness) or 8.9
– 10.7°fKH (French carbonate hardness), and the total hardness value must always be
greater than the carbonate hardness.
•
The minimum carbonate hardness is 5 °dKHor 8.9 °fKH. The pH value must be between
6.5 – 7.
•
Always use the new hose set (fresh water/waste water hose) supplied with the machine.
The machine must be connected to the water supply in accordance with applicable require-
ments and the regulations of the respective country. If the machine is connected to a newly
installed water pipe, the pipe and intake line must be rinsed thoroughly to ensure that no dirt
gets into the machine.
The coffee machine must be connected to an installed drinking water line with a shut-off valve.
Installation takes place via the installed pressure hose and the G 3/8" screw connection onto
the pressure reducing valve that is mounted on the water tap (set to 0.3 MPa (3 bar)).
If the machine is connected to a drain, the included temperature-resistant drain hose must be
connected to the drip tray and the siphon. This hose must be firmly attached to the drain and
slanted at a downward angle (so that the water is able to drain).
