Installation and Cautions
1. CBR 1200 power consumption is 3KW.
Be sure that you should check power consumption of the place is going to be
installed. (Ex : Two Group Coffee Machine is around 4KW).
This unit is 220V(Korea, other countries) and optional 230V is for UK and other
countries.
This unit is a single phase like general electric products.
2. We suggest that CBR 1200 is required to close to ventilation and
recommendable distance between ventilation and smoke pipe is 20~30cm.
If you do not have ventilation, you need to smoke pipe to outside.
3. Smoke pipe is made of aluminum and it is flexible.
So you can make 2~3m length at max.
We su

est that suitable smoke

ventilation. Otherwise chaff and oil of coffee will be stacked up inside the pipe
and it blocks.
4. Strong table is required:
Unit weight is 35kg and we suggest that you should use table for CBR 1200.
Especially you should place it the place that there must be not humidity, water
or flammable subjects nearby.
Suitable Table length is around 120cm.
