Note: The original instructions in this document were written in English. Any language other than English
used is a translation of the original document.
In order to prevent harm or injury to those using the appliance or to any other persons and/or property,
please be sure to read and save the following safety instructions.
Place on a solid weight bearing level out of the reach of children. Children and persons unfamiliar with the
equipment should only use it under supervision. Not observing these precautions may cause burns, electric
shock and other injury.
The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children aged from 8 years and above) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved. Children being supervised are not to play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children without supervision.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to move the machine alone. The machine weight when empty
requires a two person lift.
Never place outside. This system is for indoor use only.
Never attempt to change the specification or modify systems in any way. Any attempt to do so may result
in fire or injury. If in need of assistance, please contact customer service or your local FLAVIA® supplier.
Anyone following the troubleshooting guide described at the end of this document should be restricted to
persons having appropriate safety and hygiene knowledge and practical experience of the appliance.
Ensure access to the rear of the system can be achieved easily to allow isolation of the electrical and water
supply.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to perform any servicing or repairs on this system.
Inexperienced persons may cause injury or malfunction. Always call customer service or your local FLAVIA®
supplier.
Do not immerse in water.
Only clean specified areas with appropriate materials as instructed.
Do not install where a water jet could be used.
Supervise if any children, aged or infirm persons are using the system.
Never use without placing a cup under the water outlet. Hot water may get caught in the lid and drip tray
causing burns.
Drain water tank. Keep upright for transportation and storage.
All water must be drained from the equipment if it is to be stored or transported where it could be subjected
to temperatures of 0°C or below. If the equipment has been subjected to temperatures of 0°C or below then
the brewer should be left at room temperature for no less than 2 hours before powering on. Water freezing
inside the brewer or running the equipment with frozen water could cause damage to the machine causing
leaks which could result in electric shock.
An ambient temperature range of +5°C to +30°C is recommended for system location.
The system is flash tested before it leaves the manufacturing premises. Repeated flash testing could
damage insulation.
Never do anything that might cause damage to the cord or plug, (such as modify them, place hot or heavy
objects on them, bend them, stretch them, or twist them). If the appliance is used when damaged, electrical
short circuit or fire may result. If in need of repair please contact your local FLAVIA® Customer Service Oce.
Clean the plug from dust regularly using a clean cloth. A build-up of dust on the plug will attract
condensation, which could cause cable damage resulting in fire.
The appliance must be earthed. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
Make sure the plug is correctly inserted in the power socket. An unsafe plug may cause electric shock or
generate heat resulting in fire.
Do not use a damaged powercord, mains plug or power socket. Failure to do so may result in electric shock,
injury or malfunction.
230V socket must not be used with other appliances. When used alongside other appliances, heat
generated may result in fire.
Never plug or unplug the appliance with wet hands. This may result in electric shock
SAFETY AND INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
GENERAL USE
1
Electrical Supply and Cord

Notice
If you are connecting your appliance to the mains water supply, the following requirements
must be met:
A brass stopcock to BS1010 standard with a 15mm compression outlet or a brass stopcock with
3/4 inch BSP male outlet.
Water pressure must be between a maximum of 6.8 bar (100 psi) and a minimum of 1 bar (14.5
psi)
Flow rate of at least 250ml/minute.
Water to be cold drinking water and sodium free.
Install in accordance with local plumbing regulations.
Connect mains water to filter with 3/8 in. NPT male fitting.
Jointing compound should not be used in the water supply to the system as this will aect
the drink flavour, only use PTFE tape.
Do not locate the water supply above the mains power socket.
We draw your attention to the requirements of the Water Supply ( Water fittings)
Regulations 1999.

SAFETY AND INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
This system has been designed and manufactured in accordance with European legislation
relating to Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
INSTALLATION OF YOUR FLAVIA® barista
Brewer Dimensions and Weight
Height – 17”(432mm) Width – 21.8”(554mm) Depth – 20.6”(517mm)
A gap of 2.5”(60mm) is required behind the Brewer if it is to be plumbed in.
Out of box Weight – 35.6Kg
Weight with water tanks filled – 40Kg
Electrical Supply
It is important that you have a power supply ready so that we can install your new system quickly
and eciently.
You will need to supply a suitable switched electrical supply to meet the requirements for isolation
of electrical equipment.
i.e. A 13 Ampere supply requires 13 Ampere switched socket or a lockable isolator.
Only use a 230V AC single phase power supply.
Use only one system per socket and ensure it is earthed.
Your system comes supplied with a mains lead 5’9” (1.75m) in length.
Only this lead should be used, no old leads should be re-used.
If you are unsure about
any installation
requirements, consult
an electrician and/or
a plumber.
●
Notice
Ensure that the brewer is placed on a stable level surface capable of safely supporting the
weight noted above. The use of a bespoke FLAVIA® base cabinet is highly recommended.
Contact your local FLAVIA® Customer Service operator for more details.

Your system is supplied with a moulded 13 Ampere fused plug.
If the fuse needs replacing only use an ASTA approved BS1362 13 Ampere cartridge fuse.
Always re-fit the fuse cover.
If the fuse cover is lost or damaged a replacement can be obtained by contacting customer
service or your local FLAVIA® supplier. Ensure the replacement cover is the same colour as that
which is visible on the pin face of the plug.
Never attempt to use the plug without the fuse cover being fitted.
UK SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
SAFETY AND INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
UK ELECTRICITY AT WORK REGULATIONS
We recommend that the following tests are performed on the system on an annual basis by
a suitably trained person using a Portable Appliance Tester following the manufacturer’s
instructions.
TEST RECOMMENDED LEVEL
Earth Bond Test Less than 0.1Ω(including mains lead)
Insulation Resistance Greater than 2 MΩ.
The mains plug lead and socket should be checked weekly for any signs of damage.
All test results should be recorded and retained for future reference including the date
performed, who performed them and the next test date.
If any test or inspection fails do not connect the system. Call customer service or your local
FLAVIA® supplier immediately.

PRIMING THE HOT WATER SYSTEM (INITIAL INSTALL ONLY)
You cannot brew beverages if you have not primed the brewer first! The priming cycle fills the
hot tanks and espresso system with water and removes any air from the system. After this, your
brewer will be ready for use. NOTE: Unless the system is fully primed the water heaters will not
be enabled.
PRIMING THE ESPRESSO SYSTEM (INITIAL INSTALL ONLY)
1. From the Operator Menu (Ref. C)
press “Next” until the menu option
“Hot Tank Control:” is shown.

The brewer will now start to fill the boilers with water from the cold tank. The message at the
bottom of the screen will change to show “HOT TANKS FILLING”. The filling sequence will take
approximately 2 minutes after which the screen will change to show “WATER HEATING”.
Whilst you wait for the hot tanks to fill, the espresso system can be primed. To prime the espresso
system, water needs to be pumped through the espresso hotblock water heater and out of the
espresso dispense head. The brewer will step you through the process and will ask you to take some
actions. You will need a small espresso cup when prompted, to collect the water that is pumped out
of the espresso dispense head.
1. Press “Next” in the Operator Menu to
show the menu “Esp Hotblock Control:”

“Disable” option. This will stop the pump. You will need to re-start the priming sequence again
by pressing “Prime” when ready.
