The equipment must be installed by your Cafitesse system supplier in compliance with the installation requirements:

The dispenser is designed for indoor installation only, place on a stable flat surface such as a table or a counter capable of supporting its weight. Shield the dispenser from direct sunlight, frost and rain.

Make sure that there is sufficient space around the dispenser for ventilation, and front/back sides are accessible for service.

Only use new water hoses and connections in compliance with EN61770 for connection to the water supply, old and/or used water hoses are not allowed.

The dispenser must be connected to the drinking water line in compliance with local regulations. In case of cold drink options, the quality of the water supply must be checked to ensure delivery of safe cold drinks according to local regulations.

Shield the dispenser from running water, splashes, spray or steam, heat or heavy dust.

The dispenser may not be cleaned using a water jet and is not suitable for installation on a surface where a water jet may be used in the vicinity (e.g. for cleaning purposes).

If the dispenser is connected with a permanently wired power supply (without mains plug), ensure the electric circuit is equipped with a circuit breaker with a contact opening of at least 3 mm / 0.12 in that controls all poles.

If connected to a wall outlet power supply, use a grounded safety plug socket in compliance with local regulations. Ensure that the electric circuit is secured by means of a fault current safety switch and that the power supply plug remains accessible after installation.
