1. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of re,
electric shock, and/pr injury to persons including the following:
1. Read all instructions carefully before using the coee-grinder.
2 To protect against risk of re, electrical shock and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plug or
appliance in water or other liquids.
3. The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capacities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Do not remove the lid until the grinders have stopped completely. After releasing the push button the
grinders will come to a stop within 2 to 3 seconds.
6. Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking o parts, and before cleaning.
Allow to cool down before putting on or taking o parts, before cleaning the appliance, and before
storing.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has
been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized De’Longhi

8. To reduce the risk of injury do not drape cord over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. A short power
cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
10. Do not use outdoors.
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
12. To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet. Do not yank cord, instead grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.

as described in the instructions.
14. Check grinding chamber for presence of foreign obects before using.
15. Make certain the voltage of the appliance is in accordance with your domestic supply.
16. This appliance is for household use only. Any servicing other than cleaning and user maintenance

• Always close the beans coee container to maintain the
taste and aroma of the coee beans.
• Only grind the coee quantity for the single preparation.
• Never overll the coee beans container. As a rough
guide, use a tablespoon of beans per cup (e.g. 4 table-
spoonsof beans for 4 cups of coee).As you use the grind-

9
er, you will of course discover the optimum quantities for
your own personal taste.
