Installation Instructions
To maintain the warranty, an authorized or certified espresso service representative must
perform the installation of the Sabre
™
espresso machine.
Site Preparation
The Sabre must be placed on a level horizontal surface that can be easily cleaned and is capable of
sustaining a minimum of 300 lbs. of weight.
The surface depth should allow for a minimum clearance of 1” behind the Sabre and 3” in front.
Make a 2 ½” round hole through the countertop, 4” from the back center of the machine. This should
provide ample room for the hoses and electrical lines.
A 3/8” cold water supply line with a shut off valve is needed within 5’ of the machine, preferably located
directly underneath the Sabre.
A proper water filtration or softening system must be installed on the incoming water supply. Types and
sizes of the water treatment systems will vary. It is important to use a system designed to match the needs
of your specific area. Most water filtration systems require periodic maintenance, cartridge or filter
replacement. This is vital to the proper functioning of the machine and the quality of the espresso served.
Follow the instructions provided by your water treatment system for proper installation.
Note:
Improper water filtration can result in water damage inside the machine causing scale and corrosion.
THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
There must be adequate room underneath the Sabre to locate the motor and pump. This should be within 5’
of the cold water supply line. The pump may need periodic adjustment, so easy access should be available.
The pump and motor should have proper ventilation and a minimum of 3” clearance on all sides.
Dimensions of the pump and motor are:
6 ½” Height x 5 ½” Width x 9 ½” Depth
A floor drain or sink should be readily available. The best location is directly under the installation site of the
machine.
An electrical receptacle and matching plug, rated at the proper voltage and amperage is required within 3’ of
the location of the machine.
