Procedure MF5 Bench installation The MF5 is designed to stand on a bench, table, or on a draining board. DO NOT mount or operate the unit in a sink. Ensure that whatever is used for this purpose is sturdy and rigid and not more than 750mm high. A higher table makes it difficult to load the machine.
Stand installation The MF10 & MF15 are supplied mounted on floor standing stands that incorporate filter baskets. The stand should be levelled using the adjustable feet. It is possible to fix the stand to the floor, if required, by screwing through to holes in the feet. The waste is discharged from the waste hose via a Filter Basket into the drain tray of the stand, which has a 38mm waste pipe connection.
The wires in the mains lead for three phase supply are coloured: Green and Yellow Earth Black Phase 1 Grey Phase 2 Brown Phase 3 The 3 phase machines do not have a neutral wire, if the supply has a neutral wire isolate it and only wire the unit to the 3 phases and earth.
