Recommendation
Recommended action
If you fail to comply with these op-
erating instructions and safety in-
structions, the machine may become
dangerous to operate. Please keep the
operating instructions and include
them with the machine if it is passed
on to third parties.
Do not start the machine if it is dam-
aged or if it does not work properly. In
that case, immediately remove the plug
from the power socket and contact the
Service Hotline.
The machine is designed and manufac-
tured for domestic use. The manufacturer
assumes no liability for consequences
arising from commercial use, use not in
compliance with its intended purpose or
non-compliance with the operating in-
structions. This machine is intended to
make hot drinks as stipulated in the op-
erating instructions.

Safety instructions
(continued)
This machine is intended for use in
households and similar areas, such as
staff rooms in offices and shops, as well
as other work-related facilities; also on
farms, for use by guests in hotels, mo-
tels and bed & breakfast establishments.
The machine may only be used for its
intended purpose.
In case of long periods of absence, vaca-
tion etc., the machine must be emptied,
cleaned and the power plug must be re-
moved from the socket.
If there is risk of frost, all residual wa-
ter must be removed, see the section on
"Evaporating residual water" on page 23.
The mains voltage must match the spec-
ifications on the type plate. Only con-
nect the machine to a grounded 3-pin
wall socket. If you connect the machine
incorrectly, you may lose your warranty
rights.
Do not damage the power cord by plac-
ing it on or near hot objects or over
sharp edges. Do not allow the power
cord to hang down (risk of tripping).
Do not touch the power cord with wet
hands. Do not remove the plug from the
socket by pulling on the cable. If the
power cord shows signs of damage, do
not start the machine.
If the power cord of the machine is dam-
aged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer, his company customer service
or a similarly qualified person in order to
avoid any hazards.
Do not place the machine on a hot sur-
face (e.g. cooker) or operate it next to
heat sources or fires. Do not allow the
machine to stand on its power cord. Al-
ways place the unit on a stable, level sur-
face that is water-resistant.
For health reasons, only fill the water
tank with fresh drinking water.
How to avoid injuries and scalds when
using the machine.
Do not leave the machine unattended
while a drink is being prepared.

Safety instructions
(continued) This machine may be used by children
from the age of 8 years and older and by
persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental abilities or who lack experi-
ence and knowledge in handling the ma-
chine, provided they are supervised or
have been instructed regarding the safe
operation of the machine, and under-
stand the resulting dangers.
Cleaning or servicing the machine nor-
mally carried out by the user may not be
carried out by children unless they are 8
years old or older and are acting under
supervision.
The machine and its power cord must be
kept out of the reach of children younger
than 8 years. Do not allow children to
play with the machine.
Never open the lever on the machine
during the brewing, rinsing, cleaning or
descaling processes. Do not place your
fingers under the dispensing spout after
completing a process and when opening
the lever. Any residual liquid dripping
may scald you. When the brewing pro-
cess is finished, slowly open the lever to
eject the capsule; do not bend over the
capsule insertion opening (risk of hot
liquid spraying).
Never reach with your fingers into the
capsule insertion opening - risk of injury.
Do not use the machine without its drip
tray or drip grating. Do not overfill the
water tank. Never lift the machine by its
lever.
Store the machine and all its accessories
outside the reach of children.
Never open the machine or insert ob-
jects into the machine openings.
To avoid any hazards, any work beyond
the normal use of the machine, its clean-
ing, descaling and maintenance, such as
repairs or replacing the power cord may
only be carried out by a customer service
authorised by the manufacturer.
Before cleaning the exterior of the ma-
chine, unplug the power cord and allow
the machine to cool down.

7
Safety instructions
(continued)
Do not clean the machine, power cord or
power plug with water or immerse them
in liquid. Do not clean the machine un-
der flowing water. Never put the machine
or its parts into a dishwasher.
Refer to the instructions on how to use
all cleaning and descaling agents before
use and comply with the safety regula-
tions.
To prevent damage to the appliance do
not use alkaline cleaning agents when
cleaning, use a soft cloth and a mild de-
tergent.
Never use a damaged or deformed cap-
sule. Only use drink capsules marked
with the K-fee® system logo and that are
intended for the machine.
Capsules to be used:
Only use genuine K-fee® system cap-
sules. Note the red K-fee® system logo
and the characteristic slotted capsule
shape.
Using non-genuine capsules involves the
following risks:
1. Health hazards
If you use non-genuine capsules, dif-
ferences in brewing process and capsule
design, it may cause hot water to escape
under high pressure - risk of scalding
2. Damage to the machine and war-
ranty
If you use non-genuine capsules, dif-
ferences in brewing process and capsule
design, it will cause damage to the ma-
chine, which means that any warranty
claims may be forfeited.
The manufacturer and his distribution
partner cannot be held liable for any
injury or damage which is the direct or
indirect result of using non-genuine
capsules in this machine.
