IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
Place the appliance near a suitable wall power outlet. Connect the appli-
ance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conduc-
tor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of
your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the
appliance (220 - 240 V AC; 50 - 60 Hz; at least 16 A). The power outlet
socket must be installed separately from other power outlet sockets to avo-
id interference with other appliances.
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.d.)
with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supp-
lying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your
electrician for further information.
• In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are
subject to incompatible norms. Therefore it is possible that power sup-
plies in foreign countries do not meet the requirements for safe opera-
tion of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad,
ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Do not use any desk top multi socket outlet, external switching device,
remote control system, or extension cord to avoid risk of fire or electric
shock. Ensure that the power outlet socket used is always accessible for
unplugging the appliance immediately in case of malfunction or danger.
• The appliance may not be operated on metal surfaces. Do not touch
the plugs of the power cord or the appliance with wet hands, while
the appliance is connected to the power supply.
• Always completely unwind the power cord before use. Power cords
may never be knotted, twisted, strained or squeezed. The power
cord may not touch hot surfaces, sharp edges or moving parts. Do
not let the power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
Ensure that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord or gets
entangled in the power cord. Always grasp the power plug, when
disconnecting the power cord. If the power cord is likely to be dama-
ged, it must be replaced.
Do not attempt to repair the power cord!
• DO NOT pour or spill any liquids on or under the housing of the
appliance or the power cord. Do not place or immerse the appliance,
power cord, or power plug in water or other liquids. Do not overfill
the water tank (max. 2.5 litres; MAX marking) to avoid overflow.
• Ensure to empty the drip tray in time. Do not operate the appliance
without the drip tray correctly in place. Otherwise, water could run
out and cause hazards due to overheating, fire and electric shock.
Always wipe off spilled liquids immediately. If liquids run out or are
spilled on the housing: Always immediately unplug the appliance first.
Thereafter, wipe dry and let the appliance dry naturally for at least 1
day. If in doubt, carefully check the appliance for leakage.
HIGH TEMPERATURE – RISK OF BURNS
Your new Design Espresso Barista Touch is designed for brewing coffee
(extracting espresso) and texturing (frothing) milk. During operation, the
appliance presses hot water and steam out of the group head / filter
holder or steam wand. Thus, these parts will be very hot during opera-
tion and some time thereafter. Even some time after operation and duri-
ng the start procedure after switching on, hot steam and hot water may
escape under high pressure from the group head and steam wand. Strict-
ly, adhere to the following precautions for avoiding scalds and damage.
• Do not hold your hands, arms, and any delicate objects on or near
the steam wand, metal parts of the group head or filter holder or
under the group head, while the appliance is in operation and
some time thereafter. Do not point the steam wand to persons or any
objects sensitive to heat and moisture.
• Shortly after switching on the machine, hot water and steam may
escape from the group head and steam wand, even without any
function selected. Therefore, always ensure that the drip tray and /
or a suited vessel is placed under the group head and steam wand,
before switching on the machine.
• Only use the dark handles for moving the steam wand and the fil-
ter holder during operation and shortly thereafter. Always direct the
steam wand into a vessel or to the drip tray, when it is not in use.
• Only use heat-resistant vessels with the appliance to avoid damage and
severe injuries due to splinters and hot liquids.
