The device must be electrically connected according to all valid regulations (VDE 0100) as well as national
stipulations. The type of power cable must be at least H 05 VV-F. The voltage specified on the serial plate
must match the supply voltage at the installation location.
The phase must be protected from short-circuits with the Ampere value mentioned on the serial plate!
All poles of the device must be able to be disconnected from the power supply.•
Never operate a device with a faulty power cord. Have a defective power cord or plug replaced immedi-•
ately by a qualified service technician.
Schaerer Ltd. advises against the use of extension cables! • If an extension cable must be used, nev-
ertheless (minimum cross-section: 1.5 mm2), please observe the cable manufacturer’s data (instructions for use) and all local regulations.
Power cords must be connected in such a way that no one can trip over them. Do not pull the cords over •
corners or sharp edges, pinch them between objects or allow them to hang loosely in a room.
Do not place cables over hot objects, and protect them from oil and aggressive cleaning agents. Never •
lift or pull the device by its power cord. Never pull the plug out of the socket by its cord. Never touch the

Water connection / draining
The water supply must be connected according to all valid regulations as well as national stipulations. If
the machine is connected to a newly installed water pipe, the pipe and the supply tube must be thoroughly
rinsed so that no dirt particles can enter the machine. The coffee maker must be connected to an installed
drinking-water pipe with shutoff valve. The machine is installed by using the mounted pressure tube and
the G 3/8“ screw at the pressure relief component mounted to the tap set to 0.3 MPa (3 bar). If the machine
is attached to a water drainage system, the supplied temperature-resistant drain hose must be connected
to the drip try and siphon. It must be firmly attached to the drain and slanted at a downward angle (so that
the water can flow downward).
CAUTION!
Machine at risk!
Always use the new hoses supplied with the machine (fresh-/drain water hose)! Do not use old
fresh- and drain water hoses!
The water must be free of contaminants and the chlorine content may not exceed 100 mg/l. Do not use pure
reverse osmosis (RO) water or any other type of aggressive water. The carbonate hardness may not exceed 4 –
6°dKH (German carbonate hardness) or 7 – 10°fKH (French carbonate hardness) and the total hardness must be
always higher than the carbonate hardness. The minimal carbonate hardness is 4°dKH or 7°fKH. The pH value
must be between 6.5 – 7.
Water pressure
We recommend setting the pressure relief valve to 0.3 MPa (3 bar)!

Fresh water and waste water tank (on mobile carts)
Capacity:•

The fresh water tank must be filled daily with fresh, safe drinking water.•
Both tanks may only be operated at the designated location (level monitoring).•
Should its location change, the cart may not be pushed but must be pulled – for safety reasons.•
The cart is not designed for transporting cargo. Schaerer Ltd. accepts no responsibility for damage•
resulting from manipulation of the cart or from ignoring the user manual.•
Conditions for use and installation
Preparatory structural work must be commissioned by the machine supplier. It must be carried out by
licensed installers observing all general as well as locally applicable regulations. Schaerer Ltd. customer
service may only make the connections that have already been prepared. It is neither authorized to carry
out structural installation, nor is it responsible for its implementation!
