For the feed through of the water hoses and electrical cables drill a hole of 60 mm (2⅜”) diameter
in the counter; this should be no further than 15 cm (6”) (left or right) from the middle of the machine,
and between 22 and 40 cm (9” and 16”) behind the front feet (see machine side-view). The width of a
Mirage (body without steam wand) Duette is 730 mm (28.7”), the width of a Triplette is 920 mm
(36.2”). Ensure that this hole is not above the knock-box!
Where 1 or 2 optional steam foot-pedals are used: There is a hole needed for the thin rubber tube(s)
from under the machine to the foot pedal on the ground. In the counter, the 60 mm hole can be used,
but you need to bear the bottom and sides of the cabinet under the counter in mind and if there is a
plinth then this needs to have a hole of 15 mm (⅝”) diameter per hose.
Before unpacking the machine, you must be sure the area where the machine will be placed has been
prepared properly. The countertop should be level and firm enough to carry the weight of the
machine (up to 100 kg, 220 lbs), even when force is applied to it (to lock in the filter holders, tamp the
coffee bed, etc.).
The handle of the filter holder will be approximately 25 cm (10”) above the countertop. A countertop
height of 85-100 cm (33-40”) is suitable for most barista’s (170-195 cm; 5’2”–6’5”).
