Espresso machines hold heat for a period of time after use - beware of latent heat. Do not touch
hot surfaces, operators should use the handles and knobs only when is use. Always use caution
when powering up/down your machine. Never put fingers or foreign objects into the grinder
without first unplugging the machine.

installation. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified
