Safety instructions
(continued)
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 16.
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.
Do not operate the appliance from with-
in cupboard.
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.
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.

5
Safety instructions
(continued)
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.
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.

6
Safety instructions
(continued)
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® – your system
capsules. Look for the red K-fee® –
your system logo and the characteristic
fluted shape of the capsules.
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.

Evaporating residual
water
With this function, any residual water in the ma-
chine is evaporated and removed as a prepara-
tion for transport or storage. Furthermore, this
prevents any residual water from freezing in the
machine when the machine is transported or
stored at temperatures below freezing point.
CAUTION
Extreme temperatures may cause dam-
age to the machine (permitted operat-
ing temperature 10°C - 45°C). For this reason
the machine
- must be protected against frost,
- must not be used at temperatures below 10°C,
- must not be used at temperatures over 45°C.
Procedure
• If necessary, warm up the machine until it
reaches room temperature.
• Open and close the lever in order to eject any
existing capsule.
• Take out and empty the water tank.
• Place container under spout.
• Ensure that the machine is switched off.
WARNING
Risk of scalding! The evaporation pro-
cess results in hot steam (up to 120°C)
and hot water.
Do not reach under the spout and maintain a
safe distance from the spout.
• Depress the “small cup” and the milk/rinse
button at the same time. Now press the on/off
button. Evaporation starts and the “large cup”
button flashes green.
• After the evaporation process the machine
switches off automatically.
• Remove and empty the container.
• Empty and dry the drip tray and spent capsule
container.
• Reinsert the empty water tank.
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the front of the hous-
ing.

Frequently asked
questions
The machine will only work
with capsules marked with
the K-fee® – your system
logo.
Why are all the buttons flashing at a fast rate?
This indicates a fault. Switch off the machine and unplug the mains cord from the wall socket. If the problem
persists, call the K-fee® Hotline on 1800 469 373 or send an email to m[email protected]
Why is the drink not dispensed properly?
Check that the spent capsule container is not full. Press the lever down completely. If necessary,
descale the machine – refer to the section “Descaling the machine”.
Why is the drink dispensed with delay?
The machine is still heating up.
What do I do if the spent capsule container is overfull and jammed?
Try to remove the spent capsule container by jogging the container gently to and fro. The spent
capsule container will only hold up to 10 spent capsules and needs to be regularly emptied.
Why is the drink not hot enough?
Preheat the cup. If necessary descale the machine – refer to the section “Descaling the machine”.
Why does the machine switch itself off suddenly when it is used intensively?
If used intensively, the machine may switch itself off as protection against overheating. In this case,
allow the machine to cool down for approximately 30 minutes before using it again.
What happens if I lose or break a part of the coffee machine?
Replacement parts can be purchased online at www.expressishop.com.au. Alternatively, call the K-fee®
Hotline on 1800 469 373 or send an email to [email protected]
Where can I obtain suitable cleaner and descaler?
Only liquid cleaning and descaling solution (not tablets) should be used in the K-fee® machine.
For more information and availability, call the K-fee® Hotline on 1800 469 373 or send an email to
[email protected]
How often should I descale the machine?
We recommend that you descale your machine approximately once a month or as required. The frequency
depends on the water hardness and how frequently the machine is used. Never use vinegar, vinegar clean-
ers or citric acid as they can result in damage to the machine. Only use a descaling solution (not tablets).
