Always follow these safety precautions
when using your capsule machine, for your
own safety and to avoid damaging the
machine.
• Do not use the appliance if it is
damaged in any way. At the first sign of
defects or unusual noises or smells, turn
off the appliance and unplug it. In such

sharp edges or other sharp objects.
When disconnecting the appliance, pull
the plug, not the cord; otherwise it may
be damaged.
• Only connect the appliance to power
outlets complying with the
requirements of law. Make sure that
the power supply voltage matches the
rating shown on the data plate on the
bottom of the appliance.
• To avoid the risk of fire, set the

surface. Only use and store the
appliance indoors.
• Do not let the power cord dangle!
Position the cord so there is no risk of
tripping.
• Do not allow the appliance to be used
by children or persons with impaired
mental, physical or sensory faculties or
insufficient experience and/or skills,
unless they are under the careful
supervision and guidance of a person
responsible for their safety. Children
must be kept under supervision to
prevent them from playing with the
appliance.
• Always close the lever. Never open the
lever while the appliance is operating.
Always use the appliance with the drip
tray and grill in place.
