The S1 Power Retain Timer is installed the same way the factory timer is. It plugs into a
pre-wired connector inside the machine. The S1 power cable is then plugged into a
smart plug outlet. A smart plug outlet (not provided) is what controls the power to the
machine. There are a number of smart plug outlets available on the market. Use the
smart plug outlet provided phone application to schedule the Vivaldi turn On and Off
times. Any smart plugs with scheduled On/Off will work. The S1 Power Retain Timer
turns the machine on as soon as it gets the power from the smart plug outlet.
Must haves
External smart plug outlet (min. 15amp capacity) is required and sold separately. Use
any smart plug outlet with schedule On/Off capabilities. Most smart plug outlets are sold
for around $25 and have an app to control them remotely.
Must know
This will only be able to work using the machine in 15amp / half power mode. The smart
outlet uses a mechanical relay designed with a safety margin to operate with constant
max load.
4.3 Initial Installation Before Connecting Power
After removing the Mini VII from its packing carton and setting it on the counter, check
for additional installation instructions
that may be included. You should also have all the
accessories shown in the photo below plus a rubber backflush disk (not shown).
Tip the Mini VII on its side. Twist all four rubber feet (3) hand tight as they may vibrate
loose during shipping. While performing that task, use a screwdriver to ensure that the
four screws on the bottom (two on each side between the rubber feet) which fasten the
two side panels (5) to the chassis bottom are tight.
These steps will help ensure the
quietest possible operation of your Mini VII.
