How to connect your Catering Kit to the machine

The Decent Espresso machine has a built-in 2-liter water tank that you normally have to fill by hand. With our catering kit, you can pull water from a water bottle or water tank and fill it into your espresso machine. It is compatible with all the models in the DE1 series (including the DE1PRO, the DE1XL, and the discontinued DE1PLUS) and with Bengle.

What you'll get in the box

1. The catering kit itself;

2. A large, long, white tube;

3. A thinner, short, white tube;

4. A black network cable;

5. A simple valve with a piece of tube;

6. A black bracket, which already comes mounted to it (you can remove it if you don't need it);

7. A second black bracket, which serves to mount the catering kit to the machine.

How to mount your catering kit

without the valve

1. Connect the long white tube (2) to the left opening on the back of the catering kit (1). The other end of the tube will be put into the water bottle or tank that holds your water.

2. Connect the short white tube (3) to the right opening on the back of the catering kit.

3. Connect the other end of the short white tube (3) to your machine.

4. Connect the black network cable (4) to the square opening on the back of your catering kit (1).

5. Connect the other end of the network cable (4) to the back of your machine.

6. Mount the catering kit with one of these options:

By removing its attached bracket and placing it on your countertop with its rubber feet,

By screwing it into the countertop with its attached bracket, or

By mounting it on the back of the machine with the other included bracket

with the valve

1. Connect the long white tube (2) to the simple valve (5), namely the side of the valve that has no tube. The other end of the tube (2) will be put into the water bottle or tank that holds your water.

2. Connect the short tube end coming from the valve (5) into the left opening on the back of the catering kit (1)

The arrow on the valve should show away from the bottle towards the catering kit.

3. Connect the short, wider white tube (3) to the right opening on the back of the catering kit.

4. Connect the other end of the short white tube (3) to your machine.

5. Connect the black network cable (4) to the square opening on the back of your catering kit (1).

6. Connect the other end of the network cable (4) to the back of your machine.

7. Mount the catering kit with one of these options:

By removing its attached bracket and placing it on your countertop with its rubber feet,

By screwing it into the countertop with its attached bracket, or

By mounting it on the back of the machine with the other included bracket

Here's what this looks like:

Using the catering kit:

1. Turn on the catering kit (there's a switch on the back).

The orange light (on the left side) indicates that the catering kit is turned on.

The green light (on the right side) only turns on when the catering kit sends water into the machine. So it will be OFF at first.

2. The catering kit activates when the machine detects that it needs more water.

To keep the water in the tank fresh, the catering kit tops it off only as needed. So your water tank won't always be full.

3. The valve opens and water flows from the water source via tubes into the machine's water tray.

The long white tube draws water from the water source, f.ex a bottle.

The short white tube sends water into the machine's water tray from the catering kit.

4. The machine automatically stops when the water tray is filled to the optimum level.
