After carefully reading “Preparations”
(p. 9), take hold of the base or the
central section of the main body and
move the appliance to where it is to be
set up.
Holding other sections may make the appliance
unstable, causing injuries or malfunction.
Position the appliance on a stable and
horizontal surface.
Placing it on an unstable surface may cause
the appliance to fall over during use. In addition,
water or other kinds of liquid may spill, causing
electric shock. Do not use the appliance while

causing fire, malfunction, or discoloration or
deformation of surrounding objects. In addition,
coffee may splash out, making the surrounding
area dirty.
