TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Dacor ® cannot be held responsible for damage to property or injury to persons caused by failure to comply with the installation, maintenance, and safety instructions contained in this handbook.
Statutory regulations and the connection specifications issued by the local power supply company must be strictly observed.
The coffee system is supplied with a 60” (1524mm) long power cord terminated by a three-prong plug. The power cord is intended to be plugged directly into a dedicated, wall-mounted electrical receptacle.
The correct voltage, frequency, and amperage must be supplied to the electrical receptacle from a grounded, dedicated, single phase circuit that is protected by a properly sized circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. If one is not installed, call a licensed electrician.
The coffee system must be installed at a safe distance from other sources of heat, such as home appliances, in order to avoid an excessive rise in temperature.
For ventilation purposes, there must be a slot near the top of the cabinet back. The minimum dimensions are 4” X 12” (10.0 X 30.0cm).NOTES:

The electrical box and water shut off valve (for model CM24P) should be located in an adjacent cabinet.
The electric cord is located in the lower right rear corner on the back of the unit.
To connect the water supply to a hose, you will need a hose fitting with a 1/4-19 BSPP female thread.
Do not install the unit in a free-standing cabinet.
To prevent damage to the control panel door, do not set the appliance on the floor or counter prior to installation.

DETERMINE WATER HARDNESS

Before installing the coffee system, determine the water hardness level by doing one of the following:

Use the water hardness test strips included with the appliance to test the water hardness level of the water supplied to the building where the coffee system will be installed. Dip the strip in a cup of water from a faucet and read the hardness level according to the color key included with the test strips.
Call the local water company. Ask them for the water hardness level of the water supplied to the building where the coffee system will be installed.

For Model CM24T (Tank Model):

If the water hardness level is above four grains per gallon (4 gpg) you must use filtered water with a hardness of 4 gpg or less. Do not use distilled water.
If the water hardness level is below 4 gpg, you may use tap water in the coffee system. Filtered water is recommended for better taste.

For Model CM24P (Plumbed Model):

If the water hardness is above 4 grains per gallon (4gpg) contact a water treatment specialist. Have a water treatment system installed that lowers the water hardness level to 4 gpg or less.
Regardless of the type of water treatment system installed, Dacor highly recommends installation of a Dacor ACFS flushing system (not included) with model CM24P. The coffee system requires periodic decalcification regardless of the water hardness level. The filter head included in the flushing system kit is required to perform this process for model CM24P.
Attach the included bypass module to the filter head. If the water supply to the filter head is unfiltered, you may attach the optional filter cartridge (Dacor P/N ACWF) instead to improve water taste. To prevent leaks over time, DO NOT use the JT-2 flushing cartridge for everyday use.

NOMINAL CUTOUT SPECIFICATIONS

During normal operation, the user must have access to the top of the unit. The user needs to be able to pour coffee into the coffee bins on top and, on model CM24T, be able to remove the water tank for filling and cleaning. Install the coffee maker low enough so that the user can reach the top of the unit easily when it is slid out of the cabinet.

Warning

Electric Shock Hazard: Due to steam and spillage during normal use, DO NOT install this appliance above or below any other appliance.

All tolerances are + 1/16”, – 0” unless otherwise stated.

Attach it with the eight provided screws.

PLUMBING INSTALLATION

(Model CM24P Only)

CAUTION
To prevent damage to the coffee system due to hard water, prior to installation check the water hardness for building where you will be installing the coffee system (see page 3). If necessary have a qualified water treatment specialist install a water treatment system. The water treatment system must be installed between the house plumbing and the coffee system regulator.
Remove all of the parts from the regulator kit packaging. The kit includes 4mm (5/32”) Teflon hoses, a pressure regulator, three quick-release fittings, a pressure gauge, and a mounting bracket.
Assemble the pressure regulator gauge, gauge O-ring, and two of the quick-release fittings as shown.

Pressure Regulator Assembly

Install the pressure regulator bracket in the upper left or right rear corner by removing and utilizing the screw on the rear of the unit as shown.
Mount the pressure regulator on the bracket.
Cut a section of the supplied Ø 4mm (5/32”) Teflon hose long enough to connect between the coffee system water inlet quick release fitting and the regulator without binding or kinking.
Insert one end of the Teflon hose (Ø 4mm) into the quick-release fitting on the appliance. Then pull it out slightly to make sure that it is secure.
Connect the hose connected to the appliance to the output of the regulator. Pay attention to the flow direction arrows on the pressure regulator. IMPORTANT: If you connect the hoses to the regulator backwards, the water will not flow into the coffee system and it will not work.
Insert the end of the second hose into the input on the regulator.
Attach the third quick-release fitting to the second hose.
With the main water valve closed, attach the quick-release fitting to the water line from decalcification kit. You can connect to a house water supply hose or water line using a hose fitting (not supplied) that connects to the 1/4-19 BSPP male thread on the quick release connector.

IMPORTANT: The water pressure at the output of the pressure regulator may not exceed 3.0 bars/43.5 psi (1.5 bars/21.8 psi minimum). To adjust the output, pull the pressure regulator control knob up slightly. Turn it clockwise to increase the output pressure. Turn it counter-clockwise to reduce the pressure. After adjustment, gently push the control button back in.

INSTALLING THE CABINET GLIDES

The cabinet glides mount to the inside of the cabinet. The glides on the coffee system slide into the cabinet glides. The glides system allows the coffee system to slide in and out of the cabinet for loading the coffee bins and for maintenance.

To install the cabinet glides

Determine the number of shims required to mount the cabinet glide assemblies according to the chart and diagrams below. The appliance is supplied with six 1/16” (1mm) metal shims. Use the shims to position the fixing angles so that they are properly spaced. The appliance will not slide in and out of the cabinet properly if the fixing angles are not properly spaced.
Put the two cabinet glide assemblies, and shims if necessary, as shown on the inside surfaces of the cabinet. Position them 3 1/2” (90mm) from the front edge of the cutout opening.
Insert the screws in the holes of the glides without tightening them completely.
Make sure the outside distance between the fixing angles is 22 1/8” (562mm) and that the glides are level. Change the number of shims or adjust the fixing angles as necessary.+

IMPORTANT: Make sure that glides are level.

Tighten all of the screws.
Make sure that the power cord and water feed line can be fed freely through the back wall.
In order to avoid overheating the coffee system, make an opening of at least 3 15/16” (100mm) at the back of the cabinet to allow air to circulate.

INSTALLING THE COFFEE SYSTEM IN THE CABINET

While supporting the coffee system from below, insert it into the cabinet cutout. As you insert it into the cabinet, line up the glides on the appliance with the cabinet glides. The system should glide on the rails when slight pressure is applied to the front of the coffee system. If it does not glide smoothly, check the distance between the glides again. See page 8.
As you slide the coffee system into the cabinet the locking tab on the glides will engage.

IF YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE COFFEE SYSTEM FROM THE CABINET
Should the coffee system need to be removed from its location:

Disconnect the power plug from the power receptacle.
Press the respective locking tabs on the glides and remove the appliance, supporting it from below.

VERIFYING OPERATION

CAUTION

Pour only roasted, unflavored coffee into the coffee bean container. Any other kind of coffee, e.g. coffee which has already been ground, will damage the grinder.

Plug the coffee system into the dedicated, properly grounded, 3-prong receptacle.
Turn the light on and off to test it.
Turn on the power switch, located below the control panel.
On model CM24P (plumbed model): turn on the water supply at the shut-off valve. Check to make sure the pressure regulator is set between 1.5 bars to 3 bars pressure. Adjust the regulator if necessary.
On model CM24T (tank model): Fill the tank with filtered water (4 gpg maximum water hardness, do not use distilled water).
Push the hot water button. Wait about six seconds.
Continue to push the hot water button every six seconds until air bubbles no longer come out of the dispenser and about six ounces of water is dispensed.
Clean the coffee system according to the Routine Cleaning and Milk Cleaning instructions in the use and care manual. On model CM24T, clean the water tank.
Put a sauce pan under the drink dispenser.
+Make one of each type of drink in the Basic Operation
Instructions section of the use and care manual.

If the coffee system does not operate properly, follow these troubleshooting steps:

Verify that power and water are being supplied to the coffee system. On CM24T, make sure the water tank is full.
Make sure that the coffee bins have been properly filled according to the Basic Operating Instructions in the use and care manual.
Check the regulator to make sure it is properly adjusted. Air in the system during initial operation can cause the initial adjustment to be incorrect.
Make sure that water flows through the pressure regulator in the right direction.
Repeat the above test.
If the appliance still does not work, contact an authorized Dacor ® service company.
