MODELS: BAR-STAR /DIAMANTE/HOTEL V / L / S SERIES
Confirm power requirements are correct and located within 4 feet of machine, check the outlet with a
voltage meter prior to delivering the machine.
Confirm water fittings are correct and located within 6 feet of machine. A mandatory 3/8 inch water
source line is needed. No more than 40 lbs of water pressure is required. If you measure more, then a
water pressure regulator is required. EG& H sells them, refer to item C350 when ordering.
IMPORTANT: The installation of the metric S/S hose line mated to a non-metric water line will not
require an adaptor if you are using a 3/8" water line
Confirm that water is flowing out of the building pipe, then install the water softener and confirm flow
from filter is sufficient. A water turnoff valve is mandatory.
Confirm that the water softener levers are in the correct position referring to diagram in carton.
Install the adjustable feet located in the parts box and place the unit in location and level the machine via
the legs. An uneven machine will not drain the excess water properly. Install the water line then install
the power plug. LEVER MACHINES: Insert the handles and 6 inch chromed extenders onto the
machine, the chrome extenders should be tightened with an open end wrench (look at notch at the
bottom of the extenders) A loose lever can cause the group to misalign. Occasionally check them.
Hook-up the water line then install power plug. 230V machines do not have plugs attached as codes
differ per County/State. Your electrician should advise you which is the correct plug/outlet combination
to purchase. Check that the machines wattage and amps match your installed power.
FOR BAR STAR / DIAMANTE MODELS ONLY
POWER SWITCH LOCATED ON FRONT PANEL: 0 (12 o'clock position) is the OFF position
Turn the unit into the next position # 1 (2 o'clock) and allow the boiler to fill past the ½ mark. This
should take 10 minutes from a dry start (15 minutes w/1/4" pipe) Allow the automatic levelers to raise
the water level, do not use the manual boiler fill. Never allow the boiler to go past ¾ from a cold start as
water will expand as it warms up. The red light located on the lower left will light up.
Turn the unit to the # 3 position (6 o'clock) and allow the machine to heat-up, this will take
approximately 25 minutes. This switch position produces maximum power.
When the pressure gauge(s) located under the water tap on the right side of the machine reads 4 on the
pompa & 1 on the Caldaia (boiler), bleed the unit by opening the steam knobs for 30 seconds each, one
at a time.
Press the hot water tap/switch or turn knob, allow water to flow into a cup and check the water
temperature. Continue to allow water to flow until you hear the water pump operating and view the
water level in the sight glass rising.
