Normal Operation – Continued
Switches
 On the right side on the base of the machine there are 2 power switches. The larger
lighted switch in the back is the main power switch and will illuminate when the machine
is turned on. The smaller black switch in front of the power switch can be used to turn
the steam boiler on and off independently from the coffee boiler to conserve energy.
 Behind the drip tray there are 2 switches. The lever switch on the right is used to switch
between plumbed in or reservoir modes. The switch on the left can be used to turn the
audible alert off if you are using the machine in plumbed mode.
Drain Kit
 An optional drain kit can be attached for hooking the drip tray up to a drain. The drain
tube can be routed into an open drain, dishwasher drain tail piece, or even a 5 gallon
bucket can be used if a drain is not available.
 To install the drain kit, pull out the drip tray and then pull the rubber drain plug out of the
center of the drip tray and save for future use.
 Attach the drain hose to the black plastic drain box shown below and use the provided
clamp to tighten the hose. Tighten the clamp enough so that it will not leak, being
careful not to over tighten or it can crack the plastic drain box.
 When using the optional drain kit it is very important that the drain tube has a gradual
descending pitch. If the tube lies too flat or goes up hill then the tube will not drain and
will back up with water causing a leak. The drain should only be used for liquids, coffee
grounds can cause the drain to be blocked and back up with water causing a leak.
