How to use your Rocket and make beautiful espresso.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.  This user manual is an essential part of the safe operation of 

your Rocket Espresso machine, therefore it is important that you 
read the enclosed warnings and cautions carefully. Particularly 
information concerning safety during installation, operation  
and cleaning. Please keep this User Manual in a safe place where 
it can be made available to all users.

REMOVING MACHINE FROM PACKAGING

1.  Ensure that there are no signs of damage to the machine by 

checking the external cladding of the packaging.

2.  Check the machine for signs of damage once the packaging has 

been carefully removed.

3.  Retain the machine’s packaging in case of future need to move, 

or send, the machine by courier. Keep the packaging (boxes, 
foam, plastic bags) well away from the reach of children.

4.  If there is evidence of defect or damage to the machine, the 

authorized dealer from whom you purchased the machine should 
be notified immediately so that remedial action can be taken.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Check to see that the data on the rating plate corresponds to 

that of the main electrical supply to which the machine will be 
attached.

2.  The installation and repair must conform to local electrical and 

plumbing safety codes and regulations.

3.  Installation of any Rocket Espresso Milano machine must only be 

undertaken by duly authorized and properly trained and qualified 
personnel.

4.  This machine is only safe when it has been correctly connected to 

an efficient earthing/grounding system.

5.  Before connecting the machine to electric supply, ensure that 

the capacity and power rating is suitable for the maximum power 
consumption indicted on the espresso machine.

6.  We do not recommend the use of accessory attachments 

such as adaptors, multiboards or extension cords that are not 
recommended by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause 
injury.

7.  Do not use this machine if there is damage to its cord, plug or any 

other part or if the machine malfunctions. Return the machine to 
the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or 
adjustment.

8.  This machine has been designed for the sole purpose of 

producing coffee, hot water and steam for hot beverages. All 
other uses are inappropriate and dangerous. The manufacturer 
shall not be held responsible for any damage caused by 
inappropriate use.

9.  To protect against electric shocks when using any electrical 

appliance including your Rocket machine:
a.  Do not immerse the machine itself, cord and plugs in water or 

other liquid and do not let the machine’s internal parts get in 
contact with liquid.

b.  Prevent the power cable from being stretched or pulled tight.
c.  Do not use the machine with wet hands.
d.  Do not allow children or untrained persons to use the machine.
e.  Do not operate the machine when bare foot.
f.  Fit a circuit breaker to the electric supply feeding the machine.
g.  Do not tip liquids on top of the machine.
h.   The machine should not be exposed to elements such as 

sunlight, rain, snow, extreme temperatures etc.

10. Always use Rocket Espresso certified and manufactured spare 

parts and accessories.

11.  Before performing any cleaning (other than back-flushing) or 

maintenance turn the machine ‘off’ at the machine’s power 
switch and disconnect the machine from the electrical supply.
