Before installation, the required plumbing and electrical must already be in place: a dedicated 220V electrical circuit, a water line and a drain at the machine's location. Any electrical or plumbing work needed to get your space ready is the buyer's responsibility. Contact us after your order and we'll arrange installation once your site is ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat power does the Lira need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe US Lira runs on 220V, not a standard household outlet, so your space needs a dedicated circuit installed by a licensed electrician before installation day.
