SAFETY AND WARNINGS
zLonger, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
zIf an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire,
grounding type cord, the extension should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. 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.
zThe coffee system must be maintained daily to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria
and mold. Please refer to ‘Care and cleaning’ section of the booklet.
zImportant! Do not look directly or with an optical instrument into the lighting.
zDanger of burns! Risk of burns when dispensing hot beverages, they are extremely hot.
zPersons which lack physical, sensory or mental abilities or experience with the machine
should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.
zClose supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
zTo avoid injuries allow the coffee system to cool before cleaning or putting on
and taking off parts. Turn the machine off at the main switch when not in use and
before cleaning.
zOnly fill the water tank with cold, fresh tap water. Warm or hot water, or any other
liquids may damage the machine.
zThe water should be changed daily to prevent bacteria or mold growth.
zDo not use mineral water. Mineral water leads to heavy calcium build-up in the machine
that can damage the unit.
zDo not fill anything but coffee beans into the beans container. Do not fill ground coffee
in the beans container, it will damage the grinding unit.
zSugar can damage the appliance! Caramelized or otherwise pre-treated coffee beans or
other sugar containing beverages must not be put in the machine.
zNever place a cup with an alcohol-coffee mixture underneath the coffee dispenser.
Plastic parts of the unit could catch fire!
zThe hot water and steam dispensed could cause scalding. These functions must be used
carefully. Never hold any parts of the body under the steam nozzle or the hot water
dispenser. The machine must never be used to clean objects.
zNever use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. Pressurized steam could damage
electrical components and cause a short circuit.
zThe appliances must be descaled regularly with the supplied descaling solution.
In areas with very hard water the machine may need to be descaled more
often. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages resulting from
insufficient descaling.
zOnly use the supplied descaling solution. Take care to use the correct mixture of water
and descaler, otherwise it may cause damage.
zNever make coffee, hot water or steam when the appliance is extracted. Always make
sure the appliance is inactive before extracting it. Failure to observe this precaution
could lead to damage to the appliance! The only exception is adjusting the coffee mill
which must be done with the machine out (see the section ‘Adjusting the coffee mill’).
zDo not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
zTo reduce the risk of fire, do not mount unit over or near any portion of a heating or
cooking appliance.
zTo reduce the risk of electric shock, do not mount over a sink.
zDo not allow children and animals to stop or linger near the appliance when it is pulled
out of the cabinet.
