POWER SUPPLY
Ensure the machine has its own electrical circuit. NOTE - DOMESTIC UNITS -
The internal 4-amp fuse ONLY protects the electronics inside the machine. The
unit is provided with a 10 foot power cord and a polarized grounded plug. Use
only a polarized grounded receptacle. Always follow national and local codes.
• Domestic and Canada ...........................115 VAC / 60 Hz - 15 Amp Circuit
• International......................................... 230 VAC / 50 Hz - 10 Amp Circuit
WATER SUPPLY
The best type of water for coffee brewing is normal tap water, filtered to remove
sediment, dirt, and chlorine. National Vendors recommends the Hydrolife Brand
or the Everpure Brand - Model “OCS” filter products to provide the proper level
of filtration. If your location has chemically softened water, do one of the fol-
lowing:
• Install a non-softened water supply line to the machine location.
• Contact your local water filter supplier for information and suggestions.
• Use a bottled water source with the optional electric water pump.
An easily accessible shut off valve up stream of the machine is highly recom-
mended. This will simplify installation of the unit. Always follow national and
local codes.
WATER PRESSURE
• Maximum water pressure ..................................................................80 PSI
• Minimum water pressure...................................................................20 PSI
WASTE WATER
If the tray drain option is selected, proper pitch and air gap must be used. Always
follow local and national codes.
SITE REQUIREMENTS

Café VII®Setup
CLEARANCES
The power cord and water connections are on the back of the unit. Three (3)
inches of clearance is recommended at the back of the machine. Each side of the
unit should have at least six (6) inches of clearance. This will allow for key
access on one side and door swing on the other.

To protect property and provide safety, installation should be
completed by properly trained personnel, and in accordance
with local and national codes.
This single cup brewer may be installed on a counter top or on the optional
factory supplied base. If the base option is used follow the instructions included
with it.
COUNTER TOP INSTALLATION
The unit provides three levels of counter top installation.
SET AND SEAL
Locate the unit, make the water connection, plug in the unit, and seal the coffee
maker to the counter top with the gasket provided.
MACHINE INSTALLATION

6840070 Page 11
August, 2005
Café VII®Setup
FASTEN AND SEAL
Before beginning this procedure verify both clearance and accessibility from
beneath the counter top.
Field Supplied Parts
Four (4) 5/16" thread-cutting screws.
Four (4) 5/16" flat washers.
Correct Screw Length
With the washer installed the remaing thread will equal thecounter thickness
plus 7/16".
Layout the machine location and mark locations of the four holes. Drill using a
1/2" bit. Secure the unit to the counter top with the thread-cuttng screws. Do not
overtighten, or the plastic nuts in the machine base may be stripped. (It may be
easier to connect the water line before securing the unit to the counter top.)
INSTALL AND SEAL
Before beginning this procedure verify both clearance and accessibility from
beneath the counter top. This option allows the use of a large waste grounds pail
located under the counter top. Remove the floor liner from the bottom of the
unit. Take out the two screws holding the cover plate. Cut a hole corresponding
to the opening in the bottom of the unit in the floor liner.
Field Supplied Parts
Four (4) 5/16" thread-cutting screws.
Four (4) 5/16" flat washers.
Correct Screw Length
With the washer installed the remaing thread will equal thecounter thickness
plus 7/16".
Layout the machine location; then mark locations of the four fastening holes, and
a 3 3/4" by 6 3/4" cutout. Drill the holes using a 1/2" bit and make the cutout.
Secure the unit to the counter top with the thread-cuttng screws. Do not
overtighten, or the plastic nuts in the machine base may be stripped. (It may be
easier to connect the water line before securing the unit to the counter top.)

WATER LINE CONNECTIONS
FACTORY AND FIELD SUPPLIED PARTS
The water inlet on the unit comes from the factory with a 1/4" female
compression fitting. The factory also ship an addapter for use with a 3/8" line, as
illustrated below. All other components are field supplied. When code permits
the use of plastic tubing, use appropriate inserts at the connections to prevent
collapse..
FLUSHING LINES
Water lines should be flushed before connecting to the machine. This will
prevent sediment from entering the unit.
SEALING THE UNIT TO THE COUNTER TOP
FACTORY AND FIELD SUPPLIED PARTS
A sealing strip is supplied by the factory. Remove the paper back from a section
of the strip and apply to the base. Work a length at a time going completely
around the base of the unit. Seal must contact both the unit and the counter top.
No other parts are needed for this operation.
