INSTALLATION
3 Installation
3.1 Transport
During the transport of the HLF 5500/5500F coffee maker is important to avoid the
following operations:
• Turning the box upside down or lay it down on its side
• Dropping the box
• Exposing it to rain, excessive cold or heat, or damp places
3.1.1 Receiving the unit
NOTE
Before opening the box of the HLF 5500/5500F coffee maker, check out the packaging
to be sure there is no damage.
If a damage is noticed, place a claim with the freight forwarder immediately.
Check for:
• Dents or damages of the box
• Wet areas
• Signs of tampering
3.1.2 Un-packing
The HLF 5500/5500F coffee maker is packed in a strong carton specifically designed for
this unit. This should protect the unit during the transportation.
To further protect it, take out the unit from the box only when you have reached the
location where the machine will be installed, and only after all the electrical and water
connections are in place.
To take out the unit, you have to cut the plastic strip, and take out the upper carton
cover with the white styrofoam sheets. Then you can take out the pallet.
HLF Italian Design 13 I.M. HLF 5500/5500F Eng V8-2009
INSTALLATION
Along with the HLF 5500/5500F coffee maker package, is provided also a second box
containing the external coffee beans hopper.
The external beans hopper is attached to the metal support, which is also part of the
machine top lid.
Take out the entire assembly from the box and after have opened the top lid of the HLF
5500/5500F coffee maker, install the external coffee beans hopper as showed on the
following picture.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION
The packing material must not be left accessible to others, as it is a potential
source of danger. For the disposal contact qualified companies.
Now the unit is free and ready to be installed on a base, table or cabinet strong enough
to hold 50 Kg.
3.1.3 Checking the internal of the unit
Open the front door and check if any damage is visible. If you see damages, call for
technical service.
HLF Italian Design 15 I.M. HLF 5500/5500F Eng V8-2009
INSTALLATION
WARNING
Don’t try to operate the HLF 5500/5500F coffee maker in case of presence of
internal damages. Even if the damages are minimal, it’s strongly recommended to
leave the unit disconnected from the power supply and call the technical service.
3.1.4 Water connection
On the back of the HLF 5500/5500F coffee maker is located the inlet water valve that
permits the connection of the machine to the direct water line. With this connection is
not necessary to fill the internal water tank by hand.
CAUTION
The maximum pressure of the water line has to be between 0,1 to 0,6 MPa in order
to prevent damages to the inlet water valve. A lower pressure will be not sufficient
to open the inlet water valve, meanwhile a higher pressure will brake the valve
causing in this way a water flood.
The rated pressure of the boiler is of 0.9 MPHLF
Refer to the national laws of your country for the connection to the water line.
To connect the waterline to the HLF 5500/5500F coffee maker, is necessary to use a
tube with a female screw of ¾ of inch at each end of it, as showed on the following
picture.
I.M. HLF 5500/5500F Eng V8-2009 16 HLF Italian Design
INSTALLATION
NOTE
After the water tube is strongly attached to the inlet water valve, leave the machine OFF
and open the water to check the presence of any water loss, from the tube and from the
connectors.
3.1.5 Electric connection
Insert the power cord on the back of the machine near to the main power switch.
WARNING
Insert the power cord inside a correct wall plug, without use any other electric
adapter.
Be sure to choose a wall plug with enough power to supply the unit and that it’s
grounded in observance with the current safety norms.
Refer to paragraph 1.3.3 of this Instruction Manual to select the right wall plug.
WARNING
THE USE OF EXTENSION CORDS, ADAPTERS AND/OR MULTIPLE PLUGS IS
STRONGLY FORBIDDEN!

3.2 Start Up and Operation Mode
3.2.1 Loading products
Fill up the coffee beans hopper with fresh coffee beans. Pour the coffee beans from the
external coffee beans hopper and during the process remember to open the beans
stopper located at the bottom of the external coffee beans hopper.
NOTE
It’s recommended to use a mix of coffee beans for automatic coffee makers, to increase
the life of the grinder’s blades and also to get the best performance for the HLF
5500/5500F coffee maker.
For information refer to a coffee beans dealer.
I.M. HLF 5500/5500F Eng V8-2009 18 HLF Italian Design
INSTALLATION
With the front door and the top lid still open, pull out the soluble powder canisters to
continue the filling process of the products.
NOTE
It’s recommended to do always this operation taking the powder canister out of the
machine, in order to keep the interior of the machine clean from dust.
Then take out the clear pipe from the inside and deep it into the fresh milk bottle, as
showed in the following picture (Only HLF 5500F)
HLF Italian Design 19 I.M. HLF 5500/5500F Eng V8-2009
INSTALLATION
3.2.2 Turning ON the unit
Turn on the unit by the main switch situated on the back of the HLF 5500/5500F coffee
maker.
The message Searching Coffee Group Position will appear on the LCD display, and
the coffee group gear-motor will start running.
Searching Coffee
Group Position
3.2.3 “Press Red Button” message
The following message will be Press Red Button. It means that the cleaning cycle has
to be run in order to load water into all the hydraulic circuits.
Press Red Button
To do that is necessary to have the front door open, but the HLF 5500/5500F coffee
maker has mounted on the front door, a micro-switch able to detect the opening of the
door.
When a door micro-switch is activated the computer board of the machine turns OFF
the drink selection panel, avoiding in this way any accidental starts of those mechanical
parts that can provide serious injuries to the operator.
Just for this initial operation is necessary to put the micro-switch locker on the front door
as showed on the picture below.
