SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Always place the coffee maker on a flat, level surface.
- Do not operate without water in the tank. Fill the tank with fresh, clean water only. Remember that the maximum
volume is 1.6 litres.
- Do not remove the filter holder while coffee is pouring out or while water is flowing and the unit is under pressure. If
you remove the filter holder during any of these operations, you may suffer scalds or other injuries.
- The steam wand becomes very hot while the milk is being frothed and water is flowing. It can cause burns if you touch
it. Therefore, avoid direct contact with the steam wand.
- Always unplug from the mains before cleaning the espresso coffee maker or if there is any problem during the coffee-
making process.
- Do not allow the power cord to touch the hot parts of the espresso coffee maker, including the cup warming top plate
and the steam wand.
- Do not place your hands directly underneath the steam jet, or the hot water or coffee flow, as this may cause scalds
or other injuries.
- Read carefully and keep all the instructions supplied with the appliance.
- Always turn off the power switch before inserting or removing the plug. To remove, pull on the plug, not on the power
cord.
- Turn off the power switch and remove the plug when the appliance is not in use and before cleaning.
- Do not use the appliance with an extension cable unless this cable has been checked by a qualified technician or
maintenance personnel.
- Always use the appliance with a mains supply that has the same voltage rating as that indicated on the appliance
(AC only).
- This appliance should not be used by children or disabled people except under close supervision by a responsible
adult to make sure that they can use the appliance safely.
- Never leave the appliance unattended while it is operating.
- Children must be watched to make sure that they do not play with the appliance.
- Only use the appliance for its intended purpose.
- Do not place the appliance on or near a hot gas flame, an electrical heating element or a hot oven. Do not place on
top of any other appliance.
- Make sure that the appliance’s power cord does not hang over the edge of a table or shelf or is touching any other
hot surface.
- For safety reasons and to prevent maintenance by unqualified personnel, some appliances are “sealed” with
tamperproof screws. These appliances must always be sent to the nearest service centre for service or repair, if
necessary.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or after the appliance has fallen to the ground or been
damaged in any way. If you suspect that it may be damaged, return the appliance to the nearest authorised service
centre for inspection, repair or adjustment.
- For additional protection, you are recommended to use a differential switch (RCD) with a threshold current not
exceeding 30mA installed in the mains supply circuit to the appliance.
- Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid except that recommended.
- This product must not be used by children or by other people without assistance or supervision if their physical,
sensory or mental condition limits safe use of the appliance. Children must be watched to make sure that they do not
play with the appliance.
- If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its authorised technical service centre or
by a qualified technician in order to avoid hazards.
