• Never operate the espresso maker without water and only in combination with the power base
provided for it.
• Do not open the lid until the cooking process has been completed and the pilot lamp gone out. During
the cooking process the pot must not be removed from the power base.
Caution: The appliance is under pressure when hot!
Never unscrew, re-adjust, loosen or otherwise manipulate water container and upper vessel
during operation!
• Do not transport the appliance when hot. Appliance and accessories must have cooled completely
before cleaning or moving them!
• Observe the following when setting up the appliance:
o Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, stable and even surface (no varnished surfaces, no table
cloths etc.).
o Never place the unit on electric heating plates or an open gas flame!
o Place it beyond children’s reach.
o Leave a sufficient ventilation distance around the espresso maker to avoid damage by heat or
vapour and to grant an unobstructed work area. Unhindered air supply has to be ensured.
o Do not operate the appliance in the vicinity of sources of heat (oven, gas flame etc.) or in explosive
environments, where inflammable liquids or gases are located.
• Pull the power plug after each use for safe switch-off.

Initial use
For a start, please clean all the accessory parts with warm water. Do not immerse the water container (10)
or the power base (14) in water in this process.
For hygienic reasons we recommend for initial use that you prepare one pot of espresso and pour it away
then.
When delivered the power cord is put in the cord storage at the underside of the power base. You may
take it out depending on the length that is needed.
Take care that the cord runs through the opening provided in the power base to guarantee an even
surface for standing.
Only operate the appliance on a stable and even surface and make sure that the cord does not hang over
the surface’s edge.
Only fill water in the water container. On no account must it be filled with coffee, milk or other liquids.
When filling it please take care that no water is dropped on the power base (14) or the underside of the
water container (10).
Attention: If water container is overfilled boiling coffee may be ejected.
