9.4 Mains water connection option
For larger quantities of drawings from the coffee machine, a
fixed mains water connection is explicitly recommended.
In principle, a fixed mains water connection is possible where
there are lines of supply and drainage. The ideal hardness of the
water for trouble-free use of the fixed mains water connection is
8-12°fH / 5-7°dH.
Depending on the hardness of the water, an appropriate filter
must be installed.
Special feature: In place of the customary water tank a
screwed-down tank panel is mounted, which is only removed for
decalcifying.
9.4.1 Site requirements for mains water connection
There are certain minimum site requirements for a fixed mains
water connection. All the parts listed below are included in the
supply kit for the mains water connection option and will be
installed by your authorised service technician.
(See Installation plan on page 53)
9.4.2 This package contains:
•SOLIS ULTRA with fixed connection to water supply
•Connection set
•Original SOLIS ULTRA user’s manual
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The SOLIS ULTRA with fixed connection to water supply is pre-
assembled ready for connection. The hose and accessories
(connection set) must be installed locally as specified in the
instructions given by SOLIS AG below. SOLIS AG will not accept
any guarantee claims if the appliance is incorrectly installed.
Note: Shut off the water faucet if you are likely to be away for
any length of time. (Risk of water damage).
9.4.3 Installation
a) Place the appliance on a flat, solid base.
b) Check that the voltage indicated on the rating plate is the
same as the mains electricity supply voltage. (See users
manual, page 37, point 3.6).
c) The water supply connection point is located at the rear
side of the appliance at the bottom left corner. The
appropriate connecting elements are included in the
connection set. Wind teflon tape around the threaded joints
or use the sealing agent included in the set to ensure that
they are sealed. (SOLIS AG cannot accept any liability for
water damage caused by incorrect installation.)
d) The pressure-relief valve is to be installed right after the
water faucet, as shown in the plan. To ensure optimum
functioning of the appliance, the pressure-relief valve has
already been correctly set at our factory (2.5 bar). Do not
alter this setting.
e) After connecting the pressure hose to the water supply,
open the water faucet briefly before connecting the hose to
the machine so as to clean the hose and the connecting
elements. This ensures that no dirt gets into the SOLIS
ULTRA.
f) Remove the plastic cover from the appliance connection
point. Connect the pressure hose to the appliance with
inserted seal.
g) Connect the plug to the mains power supply. The SOLIS
ULTRA is now ready to operate. (See user‘s manual, page
37, point 4.1.5).
9.4.4 Starting up the SOLIS ULTRA
Proceed as per the original user‘s manual.
IMPORTANT:
If the insufficient water control indicator lights up during
operation, this may mean that:
The water filter in the pressure hose is dirty.
Shut off water faucet. Remove water filter in pressure hose
and clean or decalcify if necessary. Reinsert water filter
and reconnect pressure hose. Open water faucet.
NOTE: Do not operate the SOLIS ULTRA without a water
filter.
Brewing unit is blocked
(Coffee powder residues or coffee is ground too fine).
Start cleaning program.
If, contrary to expectations, the insufficient water control
indicator does not go out, please take your SOLIS ULTRA
to an authorised service office (e.g. SOLIS customer
service).
Care and maintenance
Please refer to the original user‘s manual.
9.4.5 Adjusting the “decalcify appliance“ control
indicator
5 – 7 dH is the ideal water hardness level for good coffee.
If you use a water softening unit there is no need to
decalcify the appliance after 1325 cups of coffee. The
SOLIS ULTRA is fitted with a control system which allows
you to adjust the reminder to decalcify the appliance in line
with water hardness.
Procedure: as per the original user’s manual: protected
settings. (See page 49, point 6.4)
"Ready"
Î , continue with as often as
“Descaling“ appears,
set the decalcification requirement with +/- and confirm
with

OFF = switched off
0-5 dH = 4625 products
6-10 dH = 3325 products
11-15 dH = 2325 products
16-20 dH = 1325 products (factory setting)
>20 dH = 625 products
9.4.6 Descaling
Procedure: Switch the appliance to standby mode.
• Disassemble the foamer head and push the beverage
outlet to its highest position.
• Remove waste coffee container.
• Shut OFF water faucet.
• Disassemble water reservoir cover:
- Open side door and remove the brewing unit.
- Loosen both screws on the centre wall and remove the
water reservoir cover.
- Insert brewing unit and close side door.
• Carefully loosen the front connecting element near the
magnetic valve. Connect the silicon hose to the connecting
element and place it in a container of decalcifying agent.
• Start decalcifying procedure: As per original user‘s manual
(See Page 45, point 5.9).
Once the decalcifying program has ended:
• Detach silicon hose, assemble connecting element with
sealing bolt and reconnect to the water supply. Open water
faucet.
• Switch on appliance. After checking tightness, reassemble
the water reservoir cover.
