4Warnings for the installer
4.1 Power supply
The water supply of the appliance must be
carried out with water which is suitable for human
consumption, in compliance with the regulations
in force int the place of installation. The owner /
manager of the system must conrm to the installer
that the water meets the above listed requirements.

components be necessary, the installer must verify
their suitability to be used in contact with water
used for human consumption.
4.3 Hydraulic connections
The installer must carry out the hydraulic
connections in accordance with the hygiene norms
and the hydraulic safety norms for environmental
protection in force in the place of installation.
4.4 Installation report
When installation is complete, the appliance
has to be started, brought to the nominal working
condition and left for 30 minutes in the "ready to
operate" condition.
Afterwards, the appliance has to be turned o
and emptied of the rst water introduced in the
whole hydraulic circuit, to eliminate possible initial
impurities.
Then the appliance must be once again loaded
and brought to the nominal working conditions.
After having reached the "ready to operate"
condition, the following deliveries have to be
performed:
1. for each coee unit, carry out a continuous
delivery, in order to release the whole volume of
water contained in each associated coee tank ;
2. release the whole volume of hot water inside
the boiler, by performing a continuous delivery
from the appropriate nozzle. In the case of
several dispensing points, divide the volume
on the base of the number of the dispensing
points;
3. continuously release steam for at least 1 minute
for each steam dispensing point;
4.5 Maintenance and repairs
After ta maintenance and/or repair intervention,
the components used must ensure that the hygiene
and safety requirements initially foreseen for the

AUTOSTEAM
18 Preparation of foamed milk using the autosteamer(optional)
! Before using the steam to heat beverages or to
foam milk, you should rst let some steam o
until all the condensation water is released.
! The use of the steam dispensing point
(autosteamer nozzle), must always be preceded
by the performance of the condensation
draining operation for at least 2 seconds.
! To keep the steam dispensers in perfect
working order, it is advisable to carry out a brief
delivery dry run after each use. Keep the tips
of the autosteamer clean at all times using a
cloth dampened in lukewarm water. If regular
cleaning is not carried out, the proper operation
of the autosteamer can be compromised.
! Do not leave the autosteamer nozzle immerged
in the milk when it is not being used. Handle
the autosteamer with utmost caution due to
the hazard resulting from the presence of high-
temperature steam.
i The system includes a time limit of a maximum
of 4 minutes for autosteamer operation.
i To change the temperature of the autosteamer,
and to enable or disable its operation, contact
