Silvia PID Installation Guide

Part A – New Wiring Inside Silvia's Enclosure

Step A1 – Unplug Silvia

Turn off Silvia and UNPLUG from main power. Make sure that the brew, hot water, and

steam switches are in OFF position as well. Move the plug away from any outlet, wrap it

in plastic, or whatever else it takes to make sure there is absolutely no chance of Silvia

being plugged in again while you are working.

WARNING:

It is very easy to come in contact with lethal voltage inside Silvia's

enclosure even with the main switch turned off – you must unplug the unit and

leave it unplugged until you are completely done with installation.

Step A2 – Remove water reservoir

Find a large, clear work space. Put a towel down on the surface. You will be turning

Silvia over and need to provide a soft surface to avoid scratching the stainless steel.

Remove the black plastic lid from the water

reservoir and set it aside.

Carefully wrap the ends of the rubber tubes

with a paper towel or washcloth, and wrap

with a rubber band. You will be constantly

moving these rubber tubes and need to

prevent water from leaking out. See photo

at right.

Remove the water reservoir and set it aside.

Remove the drain grating and drip pan and

set them aside.

Step A3 – Remove front splash panel

Lay Silvia down on her back, so that the front switches and logo are pointing straight up.

Using a Phillips head screw driver, remove the two screws that secure the back splash

(see photos below).
