CAUTION

Installation must always be performed by 2 persons.

Installation preparation

Unpack all the parts and check for any damage in transit. Do not operate a damaged appliance.
Take note of the installation dimensions of the particular model. Important: Two opening angles can be selected for the door. Depending on the opening angle required, the mounting distance to the wall should be observed before installation.
● Opening angle approx. 110° (delivery status) = mounting distance to the wall at least 133 ⁄4″ (350 mm).
● Opening angle approx. 155° = mounting distance to the wall at least 259 ⁄16″ (650 mm).
For an opening angle of 155°, remove both the restrictors at the top and bottom of the hinge.
Remove the installation template on the back of the installation instructions. Place the installation template at the front edge of the unit and screw on the assembly bracket c as shown with two fastening screws f. The assembly bracket must be positioned at the base of the unit and the wall such that no gap is present.
Fasten the the transformer mount d with two screws f in the middle.
Insert the transformer in the mount. The connections to both lines must point to the left.
Note: When positioning the transformer k and pushing in the appliance, do not trap the lines.
The transformer k is not allowed to touch the appliance and the back wall of the cupboard.
Set the mains switch U to h on the appliance.
Important:
● The distance between the appliance and the rear wall must be at least 315⁄16″ (100 mm).
● A recess of 423/32″ (120 mm) x 1113/16″ (300 mm) is required for water inlet hose and drain water hose. If required, adjust the furniture base accordingly.

– Screw the water inlet hose with the Aqua Stop to the tap.
– Slowly turn on the tap so it is fully open.
– Check the connections and water inlet hose for leaks.

Drainage connection

CAUTION
– The domestic drain water system must be vented. Ensure venting, e.g. through connection to a sink or via a funnel siphon.
– The siphon must have a suitable connection.
– The waste water hose must not be higher than the lower edge of appliance at any point.
– Check that the drain water hose is not kinked, crushed or twisted.
– Check that there is not a cover in the drain water connection preventing drainage of the water. Remove if necessary.

Position the hose with a continuous slope to avoid a bend (I). Shorten the hose if necessary (II).
Place the hose clamp for the adapter and the adapter on the waste water hose and screw the hose clamp tight (I-IV).
Remove the cap from the adapter (I). Place the hose clamp on the adapter (II). Slide the adapter onto the waste water connection or hang into a funnel siphon. When connecting to a waste water connection, use the hose clamp to secure the adapter (III-IV).
Important: Check the connections and waste water connection for leaks.
Check the water drainage. To do so, slowly pour approx. 17 fl. oz. (0.5 l) water from a container, e.g. jug, into the drip tray. The water must drain off completely. If the water fails to drain off, check installation of the hose and the drain water connection according to the information in these installation instructions.

Installing the appliance

Securely insert the front line into the appliance (snaps into place). For this purpose, put the appliance to be plugged in just on to the edge of the unit. Plug the power cord into the socket. Plug transformer into dedicated receptacle in an accessible cabinet adjacent to the coffee maker (depends on the built-in situation). Do not plug into a receptacle behind the appliance. Push the appliance into the unit until it clicks into place.
Important: The socket must be freely accessible after the appliance has been installed.
Check that the appliance is in the middle. If necessary, align the appliance. To do so, pull the appliance out a little, remove the appropriate spacers e and attach to the left side (top and bottom). Push the appliance into the unit until it clicks into place. Align the appliance horizontally and vertically. The appliance must not stand at an angle of more than 1° (2 %) in any direction!
Take hold of the appliance door on the right next to the outlet and open. Remove the drip tray Y. Pull the cover X on the bottom left-hand side forwards and remove. Pull out the accessories drawer Z and put to one side.
