ing from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long
cord.
Longer 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 of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
and
if the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension courd
should be a grounding type 3-wire cord, and
the longer cord shall be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children of tripped over.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove any service
covers. No user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done by
authorized personnel only.
This appliance is for household use. Any servicing other than clean-
ing and user maintenance should be performed by an authorized
service representative:
Do not immerse base in water or try to disassemble.

base. No user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done
by authorized service personnel only.
Check voltage to be sure that the voltage indicated on the
name plate agreees with your voltage.
Never use warm or hot water to fill the water container! Use
cold water only.

mation.
By doing this, you can avoid the life-threatening danger of electric
shock:
Never use a machine which has been damaged or with a

2 Preparing and using your IMPRESSA for the first time
To enjoy perfect coffee, we recommend that you change the water
every day.
Only use fresh, cold water to refill the water tank and never
milk, mineral water or other liquids.
Open the cover of the water tank.
Remove the water tank and rinse it with cold water.
Fill the water tank with fresh, cold mains water and
reinsert.
Close the cover of the water tank.
The bean container has an aroma preservation cover. This will ensure
that your coffee beans retain their aroma for longer.
Coffee beans which have been treated with additives (e.g. sugar),
either pre-ground or in the form of freeze-dried coffee, will damage
the grinder.
Only use untreated coffee beans to refill the bean container.
Open the cover of the bean container and remove the aroma
preservation cover.
Remove any dirt or foreign objects inside the bean
container.
New machines contain an information sheet in the bean
container. Remove this information sheet.
Fill the bean container with coffee beans, then close the
