SUPREMA 2001 - OPERATION & SERVICE MANUAL
RUNNING COPPER TUBINGIf the position of the coffee maker is near the water source, by far the simplest route for the tubing is along the baseboard or straight down the wall. In both cases, the tubing should be secured to the wall with
In other cases, it may be practical to run tubing over the top of suspended ceilings. This helps to run the water longer distances, up to 200 feet, with no tube showing. Running tubing inside walls should be completely avoided. It is difficult and time consuming, and does not appreciably improve the appearance of the installation. Please note, however, that neatness and the appearance of the installation should be a top priority.
When it is necessary to make a hole in the wallboard, make it with a Phillips screwdriver, rather than an electric drill. This will prevent hitting electrical wiring, telephone wiring, or a water supply. If you must use a drill, be certain of what is on the other side of the wall, then proceed.
1.Connect the tubing to the inlet of the water filter.
a)Most filters have an arrow to indicate the direction of the water flow.
2.Connect a section of tubing to the water filter outlet, and run it to the inlet of the machine.
a)Insert the tubing into the outlet side of the water filter and secure.
b)Coil an extra 18 inches (45 centimeters) of tubing behind the coffee maker to allow for repositioning of the coffee maker.
c)Do not connect to the machine at this point.
3.Turn off the valve on the water filter head.
a)Some water filters may not be equipped with an inline valve. If this is the case, it is recommended that one be installed prior to continuing.
4.Open the valve at the main water source.
5.Bleed the water lines.
a)Turn on the valve at the water filter and catch the first gallon (4 liters) of water. This will remove any stagnant water and air from the line.
6.Turn off the valve on the water filter head.
7.Connect and secure the tubing to the inlet fitting of the machine.
a)Apply a fitting to the inlet at the rear of the coffee maker, using Teflon tape. Keep in mind that Teflon tape should be applied in a clockwise direction.
8.Test for any leaks.
a)Plug in the machine, and switch the power “ON”.
b)Listen for the sound of the tank filling.
c)Check all fittings for any leaks, and tighten where necessary.
