Caution:
risk of electric shock
●
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance, power cord or plug in
water.
●
Do not operate the appliance outdoors.
●
Always position the appliance in such a way that children cannot reach it.
●
Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use.
●
Before the appliance is used, the main unit as well as any attachment fitted should be
checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been
dropped onto a hard surface, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have
adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance.
●
The power cord should be regularly examined for any signs of damage. In the event of
such damage being found, the appliance must no longer be used.
●
In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs of electrical
appliances must be carried out by qualified personnel, including the replacement of the
power cord. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer
service departments. The addresses can be found in the appendix to this manual.
●
Remove the plug from the wall socket
-
before removing or fitting the water tank,
-
when filling the tank with water,
-
every time after use,
-
in case of any malfunction,
-
if the appliance is not being used for an extended period of time,
-
before cleaning.
Caution:
risk of scalding/burns
●
Caution:
steam as well as hot water can cause severe burns. Protect your body and body
parts at all times from contact with escaping steam or hot water. Do not touch any hot
parts of the appliance (e.g. steam tube). Do not use the steam or frothing functions
unless a suitable container has been placed under the frothing nozzle.
●
Caution:
do not unlock the operating lever (upper position) to remove the capsule
holder.
Caution: risk of injuries
●
The capsule holder as well as its cradle each contain a sharp spike, which pierces the
capsule from above and below when it is inserted. Do not touch these spikes. If you need
to move the unit, always hold it by its exterior housing.
Caution: material damage
●
To protect the housing from melting or damage, do not store the unit on or near hot
surfaces (e.g. oven plates) or near heaters.
●
Always place the unit on a level surface, impervious to water and heat.
●
The unit has non-slip feet. As most kitchen work-surfaces are coated with various
lacquer or plastic materials which are then treated with numerous cleaning agents, it
cannot be completely ruled out that some of those materials contain substances which
may react with the feet, i.e. soften them up. To prevent this, a suitable non-slip mat
should be placed under the appliance.
●
The unit must not be subjected to temperatures below 1°C, as the remaining water inside
the system could freeze and cause damage.
●
Fill the tank with cold tap water only. Always use fresh water. Do not use carbonated
