Page 4: Installation Quickstart
Installation quickstart If the information in this section is not sufficient, we refer to the “installation manual” which you can find in a following section (page 17 onwards) of this manual, or contact your local installation technician. 1. Connect water Install water treatment system (not in shipment), flush new cartridge, and connect water treatment system to all pumps. -
Page 5: Connect Water Disposal
INSTALLATION QUICKSTART 2. Connect water disposal machine discharge pipe waste on drip tray Attach both drain hoses to Spirit and fixate with hose clamp. Insert other end into sewer. Make sure hoses slope down and cannot get pinched. 3. Open water mains (The coffee-boilers will start to fill.) Check for leaks at all connections just made. -

INSTALLATION QUICKSTART 5. Connect electricity Mount pump cables of machine to correct pump. coffee steam back light switch back steam light group 1, left switch group 2, centre mains supply group 3, right Left: pump cables on 2-pump machine. Right: pump cables on pump/group Triplette, mains cable not mounted yet. - Page 7 INSTALLATION QUICKSTART Turn mains switch to “ON” And switch back light “on”. Flip controller switches upwards Boilers will heat up (this takes about 20-30 minutes). Set coffee brewing pressure By adjusting coffee system pump pressure (use coffee puck, not blind filter). Set hot water temperature (when machine is at operational temperature) Increase hot water temperature by decreasing steam boiler pump pressure.

Page 8: Welcome
Welcome Parts identification Figure 1. Showing main operational parts of the Spirit Duette Bastone version. The Spirit Triplette is wider since it has three groups but its functions are identical to the Duette. On the Touchpad version, the group brewing lever units are replaced with touchpads (see Figure 3). -

Page 10: Before Installation
Before installation “Advice for installation personnel” (page 2) about checking and bench testing the machine prior to installation on location. Water quality Have the local water tested and ask the water supply company if there can be seasonal changes in water quality and when so, in what order these changes occur. -
Page 11: Area Preparation
BEFORE INSTALLATION Water with properties that lie within the SCA “core zone” and correct pH combines technical aspects enabling a safe operation and sensory aspects yielding a high-quality brew, provided the other parameters are met as well. High brew-ratio’s, as for espresso, shift the optimum of total hardness and alkalinity towards higher values. -
Page 12: Pump Location
BEFORE INSTALLATION Pump location There should be nearby space for the electric motors with rotary vane pump. The pump-assemblies should not be able to touch the walls of the cabinet they are located in to prevent noise. Further noise reduction can be achieved by placing the assemblies on a 2-4cm thick rubber-foam sheet with dimensions: 16x30cm per assembly (not supplied with machine). -

Page 18: Installation
Installation Precaution Installation of and maintenance on the Spirit should only be undertaken by a qualified technician. Parts of the machine can reach a temperature of close to 130 °C (266 °F). The steam/hot water boiler contains water and pressurised steam at 125 °C and 1.35 bar overpressure (257 °F and 20 PSI), temperature and pressure in the coffee boiler system may reach up to 96 °C and 12 bar overpressure (205 °F and 175 PSI). -
Page 19: Water Supply
INSTALLATION Water supply Rated pressure: 0.1-0.5 MPa (1-5 bar; downstream of treatment system) Rated flow: minimum 4 litre/minute The water supply should be able to deliver a minimum amount of 4 litres per minute in the range 0.1- 0.5 MPa (1-5 bar). The machine and accompanying rotary vane pumps must be connected with the supplied new set of high-pressure hoses, old hose-sets should not be re-used. - Page 20 INSTALLATION Figure 10 and Figure 11 show schematically how to connect the hoses and pumps to the different versions of the machine. Described below is the standard lay-out for machines with 2 pumps. steam coffee on standard machine boiler system "S"...

Page 22: Waste/Drain
INSTALLATION Waste/drain The appliance has two drain hoses: one for the drip tray and one for the machine itself. These semi- flexible hoses have an external diameter of 20 mm (inner diameter: 16 mm). The hoses must slope downwards all the way from machine to waste to prevent clogging. The waste at the location should have a minimum inside diameter of 38 mm to accommodate for the two hoses and incorporate a water-lock to prevent smelly odours. -
Page 23: Electric Mains
INSTALLATION Electric mains Rated voltage: 3N~400V / ~230V, 50 / 60Hz Rated power: max. 11-19 (400V) / 33-45 (230V) Amp per phase (see Table 2 for details). Danger If the supply cord or the pump connection cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. -
Page 24: Single-Phase Machine (~230V, 50/60Hz)
INSTALLATION single-phase machine (~230V, 50/60Hz) What we call a single-phase machine must be connected to P-N-E (single Phase + Neutral + Earth) or 2P-E (split Phase + Earth) power mains, see Figure 16. Note that the split-phase configuration does NOT make use of the neutral wire of the electric mains. For details of peak power, see Table 2. ±... -

INSTALLATION 6. Turn the mains switch to “OFF” (to reset the main controller) and back to “NO HEAT”, the steam/hot water boiler will continue filling after a 3 second delay. 7. Repeat step 5 and 6: Continue activating the groups (one by one) until water flow from all groups is more or less continuous. -
Page 29: First Use
First use Heating up Heating up all of the boilers takes about 25 minutes after the temperature controllers are turned “ON”. When the temperature in the steam boiler reaches boiling point, some steam will escape the steam boiler through the anti-vacuum valve and is discharged into the drain. The escaping steam makes a hissing or sputtering sound inside the machine and will stop when the valve is shut by the increasing pressure inside the boiler. -
Page 30: Adjust Coffee System Pump Pressure
FIRST USE If you wait longer than 20 seconds, the controller will leave the programming mode automatically (all LED’s will dim). • Wait 20 seconds or shortly press the program button of the Bastone unit again: all LEDs dim and programming mode is ended. -
Page 31: Set Hot Water Temperature
FIRST USE increase coffee boiler pump pressure screw decrease lock pressure Figure 21. Showing the lock nut and set screw on the pump to change pump pressure. Notes! Do not set the pump pressure with a blind filter in the filter holder. When a blind filter is used, water in the system is trapped between a one-way valve and the blind filter. - Page 32 FIRST USE Procedure 1. Wait for the machine to be completely warmed up: at least “ON” and heating for 25 minutes and used to dispense hot water at least 5 times over the last 5 minutes. 2. Get the main controller in programming mode (to get a long lasting flow of hot water): touchpad: press-hold the upper button on left hand touchpad, Bastone: two-way switch of left hand group in left position, press-hold the program button, for 6 seconds (LED’s will start flashing).
