Installation For The Home User
Preparation:
The ES.1 is 22" x 17" x 17.5 and weighs 80lbs. We recommend preparing space on your kitchen counter for the machine with these things in mind:
- You will need enough space on your counter for the machine and room for the power cord coming out of the rear of the ES.1.
- The ES.1 needs to be electrically grounded; make sure that you have appropriate outlets available for the ES.1.
- The ES.1 can operate with either a water reservoir or be plumbed into your water system.
- The Drain Tray holds 1.75 L and needs to be periodically emptied. Optionally,
The ES.1 drain can be plumbed into your sewer drain.Important: If you want to plumb the ES.1 then you will need to work with a Service Technician to ensure installation complies with local plumbing ordinances. Please contact our customer service team and we can help find a Service Technician in your area.
Water Quality
The ES.1 requires filtered water to be used in the machine. The use of unfiltered water will limit the performance and longevity of the ES.1. Unfiltered water can result in minerals building up inside the ES.1, resulting in clogs, and will damage the machine. See our recommended water quality standards listed in the next section. If your water does not conform to our recommended standards you can do the following:
- Install a water filtration system
-
Use bottled water
-
Use distilled water with the addition of mineral packets made specifically for espresso machines
If you plan on plumbing your ES.1 we strongly recommend that you install a water filtration system and to not rely on tap water.
