4. Installation
• The coffee machine is delivered in a suitable packing. The packing contains the machi-
ne and its accessories, the user manual and the conformity declaration. After opening
the packing, check the proper condition of the coffee machine and its components. In
case of doubt, do not use the appliance, and contact the manufacturer.
• All of the packaging must be carefully conserved in case the machine needs to be tran-
sported in the future.
• The machine should be placed on a perfectly horizontal plane sufficiently sturdy to
support the weight of the machine, with a sufficient clearance around it to dissipate the
heat generated during its operation.
• For safety against hazards related to electrical currents, keep the machine away from
sinks, tubs, aquariums, taps, and areas that are wet or where water may splash.
• The machine creates heat. Therefore it needs to be placed in a room that is suffi-
ciently ventilated to ensure heat dissipation. Keep the machine away from sources of
direct heat.
• Make sure that the voltage of the power socket does not differ from that indicated on
the technical data and on the identification tag on the machine. If the voltage is diffe-
rent, never insert the plug. This may be dangerous and may damage the unit.
4.1 Water connection of the machine
SUPPLY (automatic model): Bring the water supply tube (3/8" diameter) up to the machine and install an on-
off valve (preferably of 3/8" ball type) that allows rapid opening and closing.
DRAINAGE (automatic model): Provide an inspectable drainage pit on the floor connected with the sink
drainage line, suitable for receiving the machine gravity drainage tube. The drain tube (connected to the drip
collection tub 16) must be positioned so that the water flows out freely, without possibility for the pipe to clog
up during the operation.
SUPPLY (manual model): Open the access door to the water compartment and fill the tub with cool potable
water, softened if possible. Close the door.
DRAINAGE (manual model): Below the cup support grille 10 is the drip collection tub 15. The contents of the
tub must be emptied periodically.
4.2 First installation and automatic filling of coffee boiler
• The coffee machine must be started by qualified technical personnel approved by LA
SAN MARCO SPA.
• Once the electric connections and water tub filling are completed, the user is urged to
start the espresso coffee machine with the following procedure in order to avoid dama-
ging the appliance.
1. Connect the power cord of the machine to a power socket.
2. Proper operation of the machine requires the boiler used for coffee preparation to be
filled at all times. Therefore, when the machine is installed for the first time, when the
main switch is turned on, an automatic filling cycle will start for the boiler that lasts
about 75 seconds.
3. During automatic filling of the boiler, the blue LED will flash while the red LED will re-
main on steady. In this phase it will not be possible to dispense coffee since the keys
are disabled.
4. While the boiler is being filled with water, if the machine is turned off, since the boiler
is not yet full, the next time the machine is turned on there will be filling cycle, again
lasting 75 seconds. The same is true if there is no water in the tub during the filling
phase. Once the level of water in the tub is restored, the machine will run a filling cycle
of 75 seconds.
5. Once both boilers are thus filled, the control unit will enable heating of both the coffee
boiler and the steam boiler (with the coffee boiler having priority). During the heating
phase, the red LED of the push button panel will flash, while the electronic control unit
will override keys for dispensing coffee.
