IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and/or injury to persons, including
the following:
1.
Read all instructions.
2.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs. Care must be taken, as burns
can occur from touching hot parts or
from spilled, hot liquid.
3.
To protect against electric shock, do
not place cord, plug or appliance in
water or other liquid.
4.
Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5.
Unplug from outlet when the espresso
maker is not in use and before cleaning.
Unplug and allow to cool before putting
on or taking off parts and before clean-
ing the appliance.
6.
Appliance must be operated on a flat
surface away from the edge of counter
to prevent accidental tipping.
7.
Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our
toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair,
or adjustment.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not remove the bot-
tom cover. No user serviceable parts
are inside. Repair should be done by
authorized service personnel only.
15.
Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance was selected to reduce the hazards
of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary
an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating
of the espresso maker. Care must be taken
to arrange the extension cord so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not
use another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit with your espresso maker.
