Brewing temperature
The ideal brewing temperature will depend on the type of coffee, whether an espresso or a coffee is being prepared, and the altitude of the region. If the coffee machine is located at more than 2000 metres above sea level, the brewing temperature needs to be set lower due to the change in pressure. This is because the boiling point for water at a high altitude above sea level is lower than the boiling point for water at sea level. You can set different temperatures for espresso and coffee. There is a choice of three temperatures: low normal high TIP Not all types of coffee can withstand a high temperature. Certain types are too delicate - the crema on top would not be as good and the taste would be impaired.

Electrical connection
All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person only, in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Ensure power is not supplied to the machine until after installation work has been carried out. The voltage and connected load are given on the data plate located on the appliance behind the drip tray. Please ensure these match the household mains supply. The fuse rating is quoted on the plug. The machine is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug for connection to a 50 Hz, 220-240 V mains supply. Connection should be made via a fused plug and suitable switched socket which is easily accessible after installation. Do not connect via an extension lead or an adapter. These do not guarantee the safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating). For extra safety it is advisable to protect the machine with a suitable residual current device (RCD). Contact a qualified electrician for advice. If the socket is not accessible after installation (depending on country) an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. Do not connect the machine to an inverter such as those used with an autonomous energy source e.g. Solar power. When switched on peak loads in the system can cause the safety switch off mechanism to be triggered. This can damage the electronic unit. The machine must not be used with so-called Energy saving devices either. These reduce the amount of energy supplied to the machine causing it to overheat. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363 The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug (as applicable to the design of plug fitted). Replacement fuses should be ASTA approved to BS 1362 and have the correct rating. Replacement fuses and fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical supplier.
72
Installation
