8 STEAM / CAPPUCCINO
Danger of burns! Dispensing may be preceded
by small jets of hot water. The steam wand
may reach high temperatures: never touch it with bare
hands.
Warning! Never brew coff ee when the steam
function is on, as the temperature is too high
and there is a risk of burns.
Warning! During coff ee brewing, do not re-
move the fi lter holder (if inserted) by manual-
ly turning it clockwise. Danger of burns! The fi lter
holder can only be disconnected after deactivating the
steam function by pressing the (18) button and letting
the machine cool down as described in section 4.5.
