Safety instructions and warnings
This machine complies with the current safety regulations. Incorrect use of the machine may cause harm.
Read the instructions carefully before using the machine. They contain important information on safety, use and mainte-
nance, to provide protection and to avoid damaging the machine.
Correct use
• This machine is designed solely for preparing espresso, cappuccino and long coffee and for boiling water for tea and
other hot drinks.
Other types of use are not permitted and may prove dangerous. The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage
caused by incorrect use of the machine.
Technical safety
• Before connecting the machine to the electricity supply, check the connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data
sheet with that of the electricity supply thoroughly.
This data should be exactly the same to avoid damaging the machine. In case of doubt, contact a qualified electrician.
• The electrical safety of the machine is only guaranteed if it is connected to a regulation earth wire. It is very important to check
this carefully. In case of doubt, have the electricity supply checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer will not be held
liable for any harm or damage caused due to a lack or malfunctioning of the earth wire (e.g. risk of electric shock).
• Only operate the machine when built-in so as to avoid contact with the electric parts. For the assembly, dismantling and
daily maintenance of the machine, always make sure it is disconnected from the electricity supply.
• The machine should not be connected to the electricity supply with extension cables, as these do not provide the neces-
sary safety for the machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
• The machine may also be built into a cabinet (special accessory). It is not suitable for outdoor use. Due to the weight of
the machine, the cabinet must be secured firmly to the wall.
• Installation, maintenance and repair works must only be carried out by qualified persons. Any installation, maintenance
and repair works carried out incorrectly may cause considerable danger to the user, for which the manufacturer will not
assume any liability.
• The machine should only be disconnected from the electricity supply when:
-The main switch of the electricity supply is disconnected;
-The fuse for the house electricity supply is removed;
-The plug to the machine is taken out of the electricity socket.
To disconnect the machine from the electricity supply, unplug without pulling on the cable.
• Under no circumstances should the machine casing be opened. Touching the voltage cables or changing the electrical
and mechanical structure may cause danger of electric shock. It may also affect the operation of the machine. The
manufacturer declines all responsibility for persons or property if the above instructions are not observed in full.
• If the machine has to be built in with other appliances, it must be separated from them with a shelf.
Use
Warning! Danger of scalding! Liquids leaving the distributors are boiling!
•Children should only use the machine under supervision. Children’s skin is more sensitive to high temperatures.
They may scald themselves! Remember too that espresso coffee is not a children’s drink.
•When using the machine for the first time, rinse the pipes to get rid of any deposits and for good hygiene.
•Only fill the water tank with drinking water at room temperature or chilled. Hot or boiling water or any other liquid may
damage the operation of the machine. It is advisable to replace the water daily to prevent bacterial growth.
•Only pour coffee beans into the coffee holder. If ground coffee is poured into the holder, it may damage the grinder.
•Sugar damages the machine!
Do not fill the machine with coffee beans treated with caramel, sugar or similar substances or instant coffee or other
substances containing sugar.
• Boiling water and steam may cause scalding, so these functions should be used with the utmost care. Never direct the
steam distributor towards parts of the body. It may cause scalding!
• Always ensure that the steam selector is disconnected when no steam is required. Otherwise, steam may escape
unintentionally. It may cause scalding!
• The water/steam distributor gets very hot during use. Only hold the distributor by the handle. It may cause scalding!
• Depending on the lime content of the water, the machine should be descaled regularly with a citric acid solution. In areas
of very hard water, the water pipes should be descaled more frequently.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage caused by inadequate descaling.
Follow the mixing instructions indicated on the descaling pack. Otherwise, the machine may get damaged.
• Do not lean on the open drawer of the coffee machine, as this may damage the machine.
• If the coffee machine is built in with an oven with a pyrolytic cleaning function, disconnect the coffee machine during
pyrolytic cleaning, otherwise it may get damaged.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage caused by failure to observe the safety instructions and
warnings.

The coffee machine has two heating systems, one for heating the water and one for the coffee. It is possible to prepare
boiling water (for tea) or to use the steam (for cappuccino) and to prepare espresso coffee.
Unlike most other machines, in this coffee machine, the beans can be ground just when they are required, allowing you to
taste the aroma of freshly ground coffee at its best.
If the cup used is smaller than the quantity programmed by the machine, the coffee supply can be interrupted at any time by
pressing button "1" (Figure 1A/B), which also enables the user to select the most suitable quantity.
The degree of grinding can also be set, by turning the knob on the left of the machine to select a more coarsely or more finely
ground mixture, depending on the user’s requirements.
The boiling water supplied by the machine is particularly suitable for preparing tea, as the temperature is ideal.
The coffee machine lighting comes on automatically when the machine is switched on by pressing the on/off switch.
For safety reasons, the coffee machine switches off automatically as soon as it is taken out of the cabinet.
The boiling water from the distributor can also be used to preheat the cups.
