This part should be read carefully: it’s about safety!
The Sleek was designed for domestic use and similar purposes. For example the
Sleek likes it in staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other workplaces. Also in
hotels, lodges, motels, Bed & Breakfasts and other residential environments.
The Sleek only recognizes Cuppaz/Caffitaly System capsules. The combination of
the smart technology in these capsules and the technology in The Sleek will make
you a delicious beverage! Please don’t try to give The Sleek another type of capsule
as this will not work and could lead to malfunctioning.
Please only use The Sleek as directed here. It means that our guarantee to you can be
fulfilled. When the Sleek has been used improperly (in a way not explained here),
our manufacturer can’t be responsible for injury or damage. Sorry!
After removing the packaging, check that The Sleek is not damaged. If damage is
found, or upon the first sign of a defect (unusual noise or odors), or if any problem
occurs inside The Sleek, don’t use it and contact Cuppaz at [e-mail] or call
the Cuppaz hotline at: 852 2812 0428. We’ll get you an undamaged Sleek right
away!
Don’t leave the packaging elements (plastic bags, etc.) within reach of children, as
they are potential sources of danger for them.
Only use The Sleek if the power cord is intact. If the cord is damaged you can get an
electric shock, so please don’t plug it in anywhere. Again: contact Cuppaz at
[email protected] or call us at 852 2812 0428 for a new machine.
Only use and store The Sleek indoors. Make sure the electrical elements, plug and
cord, remain dry. Never submerge The Sleek in water (it doesn’t swim!).

Protect The Sleek from sprays and drips. Water and electricity together can cause
danger of electrocution.
Only connect The Sleek to power outlets complying with the requirements of the
law. Make sure that the power supply voltage matches the rating shown on the data
plate, located on the bottom of The Sleek.
The surface on which The Sleek is installed must be level, solid, stationary and heat
resistant; the bearing surface must not exceed an angle of 2°. No wobbly surfaces
for The Sleek!
Don’t leave The Sleek’s power cord near hot surfaces, sharp edges or other sharp
objects that can damage it.
Never place your hands inside the capsule compartment as this can cause injury.
Always close the lever of the Sleek. Never open the lever while a beverage is being
dispensed.
Never remove machine parts, except those indicated in this guide for daily
maintenance.
Don’t insert objects into the openings as this could cause electric shocks. Don’t
attempt any operation on The Sleek that is not described in this guide. Contact
Cuppaz for support at [email protected] or call us at 852 2812 0428.
Don’t pull on the power cord to disconnect it. Remove the plug instead to avoid
damaging it.
The Sleek can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the

Adjusting for cup height in 1 step
The Sleek can be adjusted for the use of large cups or small (espresso) cups. The
machine is initially set for the use of large cups. For the best results when using
small espresso cups, lower the top grill and place the small cup there. Now the
espresso cup will be directly under the coffee dispenser.
The Correct Use of Buttons

info@ cuppaz.com !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hotline: [phone]!
! !
15!
To dispense an espresso, use button A lit up white.Button B, lit up white, is
typically for the milk and hot chocolate, while Button C lit up BLUE must
only be used for filter coffee or teas.
Do not use button C for espresso or any other coffee with an intense flavor. In this
function the machine is set for low pressure and this reduces the "crema" (the thin
creamy layer on top of the espresso), diminishes the flavor of the coffee, and could
cause a break in the flow.
Buttons D-E-F are to be used only for dispensing beverages with milk, always
making sure the jug is properly in place and that the knob is in the dispensing
position.
NOTE: Traces of the beverage just dispensed may remain in the circuit of The
Sleek. To retain maximum beverage flavor, we suggest rinsing between beverages.
Rinsing is easy: simply dispense a beverage using button B without inserting a
capsule.

After every dispensing of beverages with milk, it is advisable to do a cleaning
cycle, placing a container (at least 250 ml) under the milk dispenser and
turning the milk jug knob anticlockwise to the right.
Do not interrupt the cleaning cycle. At the end a beep sounds. Only then,
turn the milk jug knob to the dispensing position. It is advisable to carry out
this operation at least once a day if dispensing a beverage with milk.

Reprogramming the quantity of beverage
The Sleek comes with factory-recommended quantity settings for each of A, B and
C, but you can reprogram this to personal taste and the size of the cups you’re using.
However the factory recommended settings are considered to be the optimal
quantities to achieve a desirable and tasty beverage. Changing the quantities will
change the taste of your beverage.
Follow steps 1 to 4 of “Dispensing your beverage from The Sleek”and then do the
following: Press and hold down the button A, B or C you want to reprogram.
On reaching the desired amount of beverage, release the button.
Now the button is reprogrammed. The quantity of beverage dispensed can be
programmed from a minimum of 20ml up to a maximum of 250 ml.
