Precautions for preventing human errors:
- make the operators aware of safety issues;
- handle the vending machine, either packaged or
unpackaged, in safe conditions;
- have a thorough knowledge of the installation procedures,
its operation and limits;
- dismantle the vending machine in safe conditions, in
accordance with the environmental protection and health
and safety laws in force.
Warning
In case of failure or malfunctioning contact only qualified
CUSTOMER SERVICE personnel.
Important
The Manufacturer declines any liability for any damage
caused to property or injury caused to persons as a result of
failure to observe the safety regulations described here.
Important
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) 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 by a person responsible for their safety.
3.3 Operators’ requirements
Three operators with different skills are required in order to
guarantee the safety of the vending machine:
User
Access to the internal part of the vending machine is forbidden
to the user.
Supply operator
The Maintenance Technician assigns the safekeeping of the
access key to the Supply operator who is in charge of product
supply, external cleaning, and starting up / stopping of the
vending machine.
Warning
The Supply Operator is not authorized to carry out operations
which are indicated as being the duties of the Maintenance
Technician in this publication.
Maintenance Technician
The Maintenance Technician is the only person authorized
to intervene and start programming procedures, and perform
adjusting, setting up and maintenance operations on the
vending machine.
Fig. 8
3.4 Safety devices
The vending machine is equipped with:
- A microswitch (Ref. 18, Fig. 8) automatically cuts out the
power supply when the front panel is opened.
The microswitch can be disabled by inserting the key (Ref.
24, Fig. 8).
- A microswitch (Ref. 25, Fig. 8) blocks vending machine
operation when the drip tray and/or coffee grounds
drawer are not correctly positioned. A message indicating
the incorrectly positioned part appears on the display.
Maintenance Technician
In case of programming or setting up operations only the
Maintenance Technician can intervene by inserting the
relevant key into the safety switch (rif. 24, fig. 8) and resetting
the voltage even if the door is open.
Warning
This operation, necessary for starting up the vending machine,
disables the safety system.
It must therefore be carried out by qualified personnel
(Maintenance Technician) aware of the risks resulting from
the presence of live or moving components.

3.5 Residual risks
Warning
Risk of scalding if hands are placed inside the outlet during
brewing.
Do not remove the cup or put your hands inside the
compartment during beverage brewing before the brewing
cycle has finished.
Before removing the cup from the outlet, please wait for the
message “REMOVE CUP” on display.
Important
Before brewing another beverage, check that the previous
one has been taken out and that the cup support is empty.
4 - HANDLING AND
STORAGE
4.1 Unloading and handling
Unloading and handling operations after transportation
must be carried out only by qualified personnel and using
suitable equipment.
Warning
The vending machine must always be kept in the upright
position. Avoid:
- dragging the vending machine;
- overturning or laying the vending machine flat during
transport and handling;
- shaking the vending machine;
- leaving the vending machine exposed to the elements, in
humid areas or close to heat sources.
4.2 Storage
If the vending machine is not installed immediately, it should
be stored in a sheltered area, conforming to the following
instructions:
- the packaged vending machine must be stored in a closed,
dry area at a temperature between 1°C and 40°C;
- do not put other appliances or boxes on the vending
machine;
- it is always good practice to protect the vending machine
from any deposits of dust or other material.
Fig. 9
5 - INSTALLATION
5.1 Important
Warning
The vending machine cannot be installed outdoors; avoid
placing it in areas where the temperature is less than 1°C or
more than 32°C and in particularly dump or dusty areas.
Before unpacking, check that the installation area complies
with the following specifications:
- the power socket must be located in an easily accessible
area, not more than 1.5 meters away;
- the socket voltage must comply with that on the identification
plate;
- the surface or floor must NOT have a gradient of more
than 2°.
If the vending machine needs to be positioned close to a wall,
it is necessary to leave a space of at least 15 cm between
the back and the wall in order to keep the air outlet grille
free (Fig. 9).

5.4 Fitting the payment
systems
Important
The vending machine is not supplied with any payment
system, which must be installed by the person in charge of
its fitting.

5.5 Connection to water
mains
Important
The pressure reducer is calibrated during assembly. Should
problems occur with the calibration of the pressure reducer,
the outlet pressure value must absolutely be reset to 0.8 – 1
bar max. Different or approximate calibration may cause
product quality and quantity variations when brewed.
Important
It is recommended to use a descaling device for the water
network supplying the vending machine, especially for water
with a high calcium and magnesium content (hard water).
Connect the vending machine to a drinking water supply
pipe with a pressure ranging between 1.5 and 8 bars (see
data plate).
Important
Before connecting the appliance to water network, please
read and follow the applicable regulations in force in your
country.
Remove the cap from the coupling placed on the vending
machine back panel (Fig. 15). Connect the water supply
pipe to the 3/4” Gas coupling of the vending machine
(Fig. 15).
5.6 Connection to the
electric network
Warning
The Maintenance Technician, who is responsible for the
installation of the vending machine, must ensure that:
- the electric system complies with current safety
regulations;
- the supply voltage corresponds to that indicated on the
data plate.
If in doubt, do not proceed with the installation and ask
qualified and authorized personnel to check the system
accurately.
The vending machine is equipped with a power cord which
must be plugged into the appropriate socket on the vending
machine back panel (Fig. 16).
Important
After the chosen payment system has been installed,
the corresponding parameters can be set through the
programming menu (see 8.2).
Warning
The Manufacturer declines any liability for any damage to the
vending machine, to property and/or injury to persons, caused
by the installation of the payment system. The responsibility
falls to the person who carried out the installation.

5.7 Coffee Grounds Discharge
Setting
The appliance is setup for direct discharge of the coffee
grounds into the bag in the dedicated cabinet or into another
container located below the appliance (ex. bar counter).
For this setting, the plate (Ref. A, Fig. 18) and coffee grounds
drawer (Ref. A, Fig. 19) must be cut along the indicated
marks.
Remove the tab the coffee grounds drawer hooks to (Ref. B,
Fig. 19) using a cutter or a jigsaw.

Important
The appliance has an alarm signal to indicate when to empty
the coffee grounds in the standard version. For this setting it
is necessary to exclude this counter using the menu.
5.8 Liquid Drain Setting
The appliance is setup for direct drainage of the drip tray into
container in the dedicated cabinet or into another container
located below the appliance.
To use this setting, cut (or drill a hole in) the panel in the
indicated area (Ref. A, Fig. 20).
Do not use adapters or multi-sockets (Fig. 17).

5.9 Drip Tray Locking
Important
This option can be used to guarantee the appliance additional
safety.
It is possible to block the removal of the drip tray without
opening the door.
To use this option, remove the two locking pins integrated
on the drip tray (Ref. A, Fig. 21).
Divide them and, after trimming them with a cutter, glue them
