Place the machine on a surface that guarantees a secure support.
To get ready for set up , make sure you have an opening ( A-pic.1) on the support surface to allow
connection with systems in the space below ( B-pic.1).
The machine should be exclusively connected to a source of cold drinking-water.
The water pressure should be between 1 and 5 bar. If this is not possibile, please contact the
manufacturer.
An interception tap must be installed between the water system and the water feed pipe of the machine
so that the passage of water can be closed if necessary (1-pic 1).
After removing the packing , check that the machine is in perfect conditions , in case of doubts do not use
it. The packing components must not be left within the range of children because they might be a source
of danger.
Place the machine on a secure support and arrange the foot so that the machine is in the correct position.
Before connecting the machine to the systems make sure that the data on the plate correspond to those
of the installation place.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The machine is supplied with a feed pipe without a plug .The connection of the machine to the electric
system can be done in two different configurations :
•Connection to the electric system through an appropriated bipolar switch
•Connection of the supply pipe to the electric network through a certified plug, which must be
accessible afetr the installation and when the machine is ready to be used.
WATER INSTALLATION
Connect the flexible pipe to the water system.
Check that there are no narrowings or squashings throughout the flexible pipe.
Screw the ring nuts of flexible pipes tightly.
Before connecting the pipe coming from the network and/or the water softener , introduce this in a
recipent and open the tap for some minutes in order to take away possibile remains of the new pipes.
INSTALLATION WITH WATER SOFTENER
The water softener is adviced when feeding water of the machine has a total hardness of more than 10°
French degrees , because it prevents the creation of calcium within the machine itself .The water softener
must be placed so that it is easily accessible for its maintenance and near the drain siphon (see the
instructions of the softener).
INSTALLATION WITHOUT WATER SOFTENER
If the installation of a water softener is not necessary, it is essential to install a cartridge-FILTER
immediately after the water supply tap , in order to prevent possible impurities in the water from damaging
the motorpump .
