issued on 25 July 2005, nr151 ”Implementation of the directives 2002/95/CE,2002/96/CE e 2003/108/CE, concerning the decrease in the usage
of dangerous substances in the electrical and electronic equipment and the disposal of waste”.
The symbol of the crossed waste bin indicated on the equipment or on the packaging means that the product at the end of its lifetime must
be disposed of separately from all the other waste.
The separate collection of this equipment coming at the end of its lifetime is organized and run by the importer/distributor.The user who
should have to dispose of such equipment should get in touch with the importer/ distributor and follow the procedure they have adopted for
the separate disposal of the equipment coming at the end of its lifetime.The proper separate disposal of disused equipment so that it can
be recycled and treated according what is environmentally compatible contributes to avoid possible negative effects on the Environment and
on Health and allows the reutilization and/or the recycling of the materials the equipment is composed of.
The improper disposal by the user causes the enforcement of the administrative sanctions according to current regulations.

2. GENERAL ADVICE FOR THE INSTALLER
Read carefully the instructions and warnings contained in this manual and in the “INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THE INSTALLER”,
since they provide important indications concerning the installation of the appliance.
Attention!
The electric system, water supply system, drainage system and gas system (in case the appliance is pre-fitted for gas), MUST
already be put in place by the customer in order to allow the proper installation of the machine. The installation engineer can-
not change the existing system put in place by the customer. See chapter 2.2: “Arrangements for installation provided by the
customer
Attention!
The appliance must be installed where use and maintenance are restricted to trained staff.
Attention!
CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS, WHICH OFFER IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR THE SAFE USE AND
MAINTENANCE OF THE APPLIANCE.
The appliance must only be used for its intended purpose and it must be installed in a suitable place for its use. Any other use is there-
fore considered as improper and unreasonable.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage caused by improper, incorrect or unreasonable use. Installation must be carried
out by qualified personnel according to current laws and to the manufacturer’s instructions. Incorrect installation may cause damage to
people, animals or property for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable.
2.1 GENERAL WARNINGS

The electrical safety of the appliance is fully achieved only after it has been correctly connected to an earthing system as
required by the laws in force.
It is necessary to have the earthing connection checked by professionally qualified personnel. The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for any damage caused by the lack or inefficiency of the system’s earthing connection. The appliance has not been designed for outdoor
use. It must only be operated in a place where the ambient temperature is between
+5°C and +40°C .
Attention!
The use of any electrical appliance also requires observance of the following important regulations.

• NOTE:Appliancesfittedtooperatewithgassystem.TheappliancehasbeenfittedbythemanufacturertooperatewithLPG under a
maximum supply pressure of 30 mbar. Adaptation to operate with any other type of gas must be carried out by personnel authorised
by the manufacturer.
Attention!
Failure to comply with the above regulations could jeopardise the correct operation and safety of the appliance as well as its
useful lifetime.
2.2 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE USER
The machine has to be placed on a stable flat surface that can
guarantee a safe position. Check this important requirement,
since the manufacturer cannot be considered liable for any dam-
age caused by the instability of the appliance. While preparing
the systems, take into account that a hole is needed in the bear-
ing surface in order to make all electric and water connections
through the opening below where a water softener will need to be
fitted, if recommended by the installation engineer.
A hole of 10 x 10 cm is enough in the area (a) as indicated in
Pict. A.
The machine needs a minimum clearance of:
- height cm. 60
- width cm. 40
- depth cm. 40

- Pict.4). Do not fit the drain pipe into basins or buckets placed under the counter as this will increase the possibility of forming dirt
deposits and as a result, the spread of bacteria .
Attention!
The appliance is supplied without water in the boiler. This is to prevent serious damage if the appliance is exposed to low
temperatures. The appliance must only be supplied with cold drinking water.
Attention!
For appliances operating with gas, the gas supply tap must be fitted in an easily accessible place (4 - Pict. 4), so as to be able
to shut off the gas supply if necessary.
Regularly check the expiry date on the gas pipe connecting the system and the appliance and have it replaced by the Service
Centre before this date
