Wearable parts (including but not limited to rubber seals, gaskets, and o-rings) are
not covered under warranty, nor are labor or shipping charges.
Due to the nature and characteristics of wood(s) used on Slayer machines,
cracking, shrinking, and/or warping of this wood is not covered under warranty.
Damage to or failure of your Slayer machine due to inadequately treated water is
not covered under warranty. Read “Water Treatment Requirements” on page 6 for
information about water-related issues.!

Important Safety Advisory
This guide includes important instructions about safe espresso machine installation,
operation, and maintenance. Read this manual completely before installing and
operating your Slayer espresso machine. Incorrect installation and operation may
result in damage to the equipment, personal injury, or even death. Disregarding the
instructions contained herein indemnifies Slayer from all resulting damages and
may void the machine’s warranty.
Shipping is coordinated by the customer and performed by a third party. Slayer is
not responsible for damage incurred during transport. Upon receiving your machine,
carefully inspect all packaging, equipment, and accessories for visible damage.
Photograph any visible damage and immediately contact your shipping company
representative. Comply with shipping company regulations. Do not connect your
machine to power, water, or drainage until all issues have been resolved or your
Slayer representative or reseller instructs you to do so. Failure to resolve issues
before using equipment may result in further damage or injury.
Installation should be performed by qualified personnel only and must comply with
all regulations and requirements of the authorities in your area. If guidance is
needed to safely install your machine, contact your Slayer representative or
reseller.
It is critical that an appropriately-rated and grounded electrical plug is used to
supply your machine with power. This is essential for the safe operation and use of
the equipment. Contact your Slayer representative or reseller with questions about
this requirement. If you are unsure about the safety of the electrical configuration,
do not attempt to install your machine.
Your Slayer espresso machine should only be used for the functions it was designed
to perform. Using your machine outside of its defined functionality – as it is
described in the "Using Slayer" section on page 23 of this guide – may be a safety
hazard, resulting in property damage, physical injury, or even death, and will
immediately void the warranty.
Slayer espresso machines are electrical appliances that should be used in a safe
manner appropriate to devices of their kind:
•Do not connect your Slayer espresso machine to electrical power through an
extension cord. The machine must be directly connected to an appropriately-
rated and grounded power source.
•Do not position the power cord in walkways or other areas with high foot
traffic.
•Slayer espresso machines are designed to be used indoors. When using your
machine outdoors, take precautionary measures to protect it from moisture,
humidity, and other natural elements.
•Before performing service on your machine, disconnect power source.!

Water Treatment Requirements
Improper water treatment is the most frequent cause of espresso machine damage.
Water is complex and varies significantly between regions, so take great care to
test the water quality at your location and adjust as necessary. Employ the help of a
reliable company (Slayer recommends OptiPure and BWT) to evaluate your water
and recommend and administer treatments.
When evaluating water quality, the two most important factors to consider are
calcium carbonate and chloride:
Calcium Carbonate: dissolved mineral that determines the "hardness" or
"softness" of water.
The desirable range of hardness is 4-6 grains. Over time, calcium carbonate
accumulates as a hard substance, called “scale”, and will inhibit the flow of
water. Machines subjected to “harder” water (greater than 6 grains) will
accumulate scale faster and require maintenance sooner.
Chloride: chlorine combined with an electron from a negatively charged ion.
There are many types of chlorides, including calcium chloride, magnesium
chloride, sodium chloride, etc. Chlorides produce salts that impart a strong
taste, which alters the flavor of the espresso. Chlorides also encourage pitting
corrosion, which causes damage to the machine.
Your water filtration company will create a treatment plan based on your water
needs. Choose a filtration company that has solutions for addressing issues related
to both calcium carbonate and chloride.
Common treatment options include carbon filtration, ion exchange and reverse
osmosis:
Carbon Filtration: process by which water passes through the granular activated
carbon, which attracts and retains many chemicals in the water that have an
unpleasant taste or odor.
Carbon filtration is necessary for all Slayers. For water with 4-6 grains of
hardness, carbon filtration is likely the only necessary water treatment.
Ion Exchange: process by which water passes through an ion exchange system,
where where undesirable mineral components are retained and more desirable
substances such as sodium are released.
An ion exchange system should be used in combination with a carbon
filtration system and is especially beneficial for water in the range of 6-9
grains of hardness. This system is relatively inexpensive and effective in
6
removing inorganic substances. It does not, however, remove organic
substances, such as bacteria.
Reverse Osmosis with Blend-Back Valve (or Remineralized RO): process by
which water is forced through a semi-permeable membrane with selective pore
sizes at high pressure, then blended with the appropriate amount of desired
minerals.
Reverse osmosis may be a good solution for water in the range of 6-9 grains
of hardness, but is mandatory for water above 9 grains. When blending
minerals with the filtered water, target a TDS (total dissolved solids) value of
of 75-125 ppm. Experiment with various TDS levels to determine what is
ideal.
IMPORTANT: All Slayer espresso machines need to be connected to a carbon water
filter to remove chlorine, sediments, odor, and undesirable tastes from the water.
This requirement is in addition to any other necessary water filtration systems.
Filtration requirements may vary seasonally. Water should be tested during each
season to determine the best filtration plan. Once a filtration method has been
selected, take note of the filter’s peak capabilities. Contact the equipment vendor to
inquire about the life expectancy of the filters, then schedule replacement and re-
installation accordingly.
Every time a new water filter is installed, thoroughly rinse the filter before attaching
it to your machine or pump. Run water from the supply line through the filter and
down a drain for at least 2 minutes. Skipping this step will damage your machine.
Damage to or failure of your machine due to inadequately treated water is not
covered under warranty.!

Installing Your Machine
Only qualified service personnel should install Slayer espresso machines. Incorrect
installation may result in injury and/or damage to the equipment. Please read the
"Important Safety Information" section on page 5 before beginning installation.
Install your Slayer espresso machine with the following ordered steps:
1. Prepare Site
2. Unpack Equipment
3. Connect Drain Hose
4A-C. Connect Water Line
5. Connect Pump
6. Connect Machine to Power
7. Fill Tanks
8. Turn On Heating Elements
Step 1: Prepare Site
Your installation site will need direct access to power, water, and drainage. Building
regulations vary by region, so confirm local requirements prior to connecting your
machine.
Using quality, treated water is essential to achieving the best possible results when
preparing coffee and may also extend the life of your machine. Read the Water
Treatment Advisory on pages 6-7 for information about avoiding and addressing
water-related issues.
Your Slayer espresso machine weighs approximately 160 kg (350 lb.) when filled
with water and needs to be installed on a structure that is capable of supporting its
weight.
Use the following diagram to locate and drill holes in the counter for the water and
drain lines. Note that electrical plugs vary in size and a larger hole may be required
to accommodate the main power cord.!
