Installation Ventilation Condensation water can damage the coffee system or surrounding cabinets. The specified ventilation cross-sections absolutely must be observed. Do not cover or block the ventilation cross-sections. Clean the ventilation cross-sections on a regular basis. Due to the heating of water, water steam can condense inside the coffee system and inside the door.
Installation Installing the coffee system Make sure that there is no power to the machine during installation. This also applies when uninstalling. The machine may only be operated when installed and in an ambient temperature range between +50°F (10°C) to +100°F (38°C). For installation, you will require two socket wrenches in sizes 3 and 5. To ensure the appliance door is flush with the cabinetry front, a seal around the building-in niche is needed or a sealing strip must be adhered to the coffee system.
Installation The appliance comes with four M5 socket screws to help you align and secure it in the building-in niche. Open the appliance door, and partially tighten the side socket screws. Carefully turn the lower socket screws to center the machine in the niche. Tighten both upper socket screws by hand to secure the machine in the unit. Do not over-tighten them.
