posed of separately from all the other
waste.
The separate collection of this equipment com-
ing 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 fol-
low the procedure they have adopted for the
separate disposal of the equipment coming at
the end of its lifetime.The proper separate dis-
posal of disused equipment so that it can be
recycled and treated according what is environ-
mentally compatible contributes to avoid pos-
sible 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 ac-
cording to current regulations.

Behind the coffee bar counter, every seconds precious, cup after cup.
The coffee machine is the instrument which dictates the rhythm.
It has to be technological, reliable, ergonomic. It has to be attractive, fit in with the furnishings, the shades of colour, the lights.
It makes your work run smoothly. You have thus more time to think, to express your own creativity, to better fulfil the art of the barman.
In planning the new S40, La Spaziale top of the range, the technicians set themselves these goals.
They observed gestures, pauses and work spaces to come up with the ergonomic aspects.
Then, they dressed the elements of functionality with a high-class aesthetic, as elegance and practicality may blend in an excellent de-
sign. Inside the machine, they placed a technological heart, whose components interact with extreme precision, guided by avant-garde
electronics.
An ample display with LCD graphics guarantees total interaction between the barman and the
engineer responsible of maintenance, who in every single moment has full control of the
machine. There is rapid and easy access to the technological heart of the S40. Accu-
rately programmed control cycles allow to reduce maintenance time and ensure
that the machine is kept in a state of maximum efficiency.
A personalised card gives access to the management programmes,
making the S40 unique and secure in every aspect. The updates
of the software controlling the machine are extraordinarily simple.
Energy consumption is limited, as after 20 minutes of inactivity the
machine goes into “stand-by”. But this in only the start of a journey.
The opportunities offered by digital technologies are constantly
growing and the S40 is ready to seize them all.

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.
Attention!
The electric system, water system and drainage system MUST BE put in place by the customer in a suitable position to allow
correct installation. The installation engineer cannot change the existing system put in place by the customer. See chapter 2.2:

2.1 GENERAL WARNINGS

espresso coffee machines
11
LSC 040 - Rev. 00 - Ed. 12/2009
Danger!
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.
• Do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet.
• Do not use the appliance barefooted.
• Do not pull the power supply cord to unplug the appliance from the mains power.
• Do not allow children or unqualified persons to use the appliance.
• Access to the appliance’s service area must be restricted to those persons with the relevant practical experience and familiarity with
the appliance itself, especially in terms of safety and hygiene.
• Before carrying out any routine maintenance or cleaning operation, disconnect the appliance from the mains power and shut off the
water supply tap.
• In the event of damage and/or malfunction of the appliance, switch it off completely without trying to make any direct repairs. Contact
the nearest Service Centre authorised by the manufacturer.
• In order to guarantee the proper efficiency and operation of the appliance, it is fundamentally important to follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and to follow a regular maintenance schedule.
• The appliance has IPX2 protection against water and therefore, it cannot be installed in areas where it may be subject to jets of water.
• The appliance has class I protection against electric shocks.
• The noise emitted by the appliance during normal operation is less than 70 dB.

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. 6.
The machine needs a minimum clearance of:
- height cm. 60
- width cm. 40
- depth cm. 40
Warning!
The appliance is supplied without a plug. It is supposed to be directly connected to the electric mains and therefore, it is
necessary to fit a single-pole switch with contact opening of 3 mm or more beforehand, according to the regulations in force .
Attention!
Failure to comply with the above regulations could jeopardise the correct operation and safety of the appliance as well as its
useful lifetime.

• Between the water mains and the water inlet pipe of the appliance, there must be a tap to stop the water flow if necessary (2 - Pict.6).
• The water mains pressure must be within the range of 1 and 5 bar.
• If this requirement is not met, please consult the manufacturer.
• The appliance is supplied without a plug. It is supposed to be directly connected to the electric mains and therefore, it is necessary
to fit a single-pole switch with contact opening of 3 mm or more beforehand, according to the regulations in force (1 - Pict.6).
• The drainpipe of the appliance must be directly connected to a suitable open drain siphon, previously installed by the customer (3
- Pict.6). 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.
