73
3.4 Safety devices
The machines described in
this manual have been
manufactured in compliance
with the relevant European
Regulations in force and all
its potentially dangerous
parts can be thus
considered safe.
• Any overpressure in the water system that produces
steam and hot water is detected by 3 safety valves.
• A thermostat avoids boilers overheating.
• The position of the coffee grounds drawer and of the
door (see section “Main Parts”), is controlled by two
microswitches that stop the machine if one component is
not properly placed (the display will show the component
out of place).
• An electrical pulse counter and a mechanical one store
the number of beverages brewed and allow programming
the scheduled maintenance.
Hot water and steam dispensing spouts
• Hot water and steam dispensing spouts are equipped with
special rubber grips so that they can be grabbed and
adjusted even when hot (see section “Main Parts”).
3.5 Residual Risks
Only use containers made
of materials that are
suitable “for food”.
The structural
characteristics of the
machines described in this
brochure, do not protect
the user from the direct
steam or hot water spouts.
Danger of burning.
When dispensing hot
water and steam, do not
turn the jets towards other
people or yourselves.
Hold the wand using only
the relevant anti-burn
protections.
If the cup warming surface
is activated, its surface may
be hot.

The appliance must always
be kept in upright position.
Do not:
• drag the appliance;
• overturn or lay down the appliance during transport and
handling;
• shake the appliance;
• leave the appliance exposed to bad weather, in humid
areas or close to heat sources.
4.2 Storage
If the appliance is not installed within a short time, but is
to be stored for a long time, it shall be kept in a sheltered
place according to the following instructions:
• the packaged appliance shall be stored in a closed, dry
area at a temperature between 1°C and 40°C;

5 INSTALLATION
5.1 Cautions
The appliance cannot be
installed in external areas.
Avoid installing it in areas
where the temperature is
lower than +2°C or higher
than 32°C and in
particularly humid or dusty
places. It should neither be
installed in places where
water jets are used for
cleaning operations nor
where there is a risk of fire
or explosion.
Make sure that the installation place is compatible with the
following specifications, before unpacking the appliance:
• the electric socket or the all-pole switch which the
appliance is connected to must be easily accessible for the
user, so that the user will easily disconnect the machine
from the electric mains when necessary;
• the socket voltage must correspond to that indicated on
the appliance data plate.
• the gradient of the supporting surface should NOT
exceed 2°;
Check that the size and
strength of the surface
where the machine is
installed are appropriate to
safely bear it.
For a correct and
ergonomic use of the
machine, it is
recommended to install it
onto a surface which is at
least 1 m high.
The appliance must be
installed on a horizontal
surface.
The appliance must only be installed in places where it can
be used and serviced by qualified staff only.

English

76
If the appliance needs to be positioned close to a wall, it is
necessary to leave a space of at least 8 cm between the
appliance’s back and the wall, in order to make sure that
the air outlet grill at the back of the appliance is
unobstructed.
5.2 Unpacking and Positioning
On receipt of the appliance, make sure that it has not
suffered any damage during transport or that the packaging
has not been unduly opened with consequent stealing of
the components contained in it.
If damage of any kind is found, the courier must be
informed and notice must be immediately given to the
importer or to the seller.
If these are not in the purchaser’s country, please contact
the manufacturing company directly.
A bag called “ACCESSORY BOX” is supplied with the
appliance. It contains the following items:
• Instruction manual.
• Screws and plates.
SA Accessory box
Lift the pallet in order to remove the fixing screws. Screw
the 4 supporting feet.

5.3 Connection to the Water
Network
Before connecting the
appliance to the water
network, please read and
follow the applicable
regulations in force in your
country.
Make sure the water
network provides drinking
water, with pressure
ranging between 0.15 MPA
and 0.8 MPA (1.5 and 8
bars).
Water hardness should not
be lower than 8°F.
The machine should be
supplied with water
treated with a descaling
device, particularly in case
of water with high content
of calcium and magnesium
salts (hard water).
Before connecting the
water filter to the machine,
perform a wash cycle until
the water is clear. Then
connect the water filter to
the machine.
The water network hose
must be certified according
to the IEC 61770 standard.
In case you need to move
the machine to a different
place, the old fitting unit
must be replaced with a
new one (water network
connecting hose).

5.4 Connection to the Electric
Network
The Maintenance
Technician, who is in
charge of the appliance's
installation, shall make sure
that:
• the power supply system complies with the safety
instructions in force;
• the voltage corresponds to that indicated on the appliance
data plate.
In case of doubt, do not
proceed with the
installation and ask qualified
and authorised personnel
to accurately check the
system.
Also make sure that the
electrical system the
appliance is connected to
has the capacity to bear
the max load required, as
indicated on the data plate.
