This instruction manual and the
safety information are provided
to guide you towards safe ap-
pliance operation. Disregarding
them can lead to hazards caused
by the appliance. Please keep
these instructions safely and
hand them over with the appli-
ance if it is passed on or sold.
The appliance is intended for the
preparation of hot drinks in accor-
dance with the operating manual.
It is exclusively intended for do-
mestic use only.
The manufacturer accepts no lia-
bility for consequences resulting
from commercial usage, inappro-
priate use or non-observance of
the instruction manual.
Operational requirements:
Only operate an undamaged appli-
ance which is in perfect working
order. Always disconnect a defec-
tive appliance from the power
supply immediately and call our
service hotline.
Place the appliance and its cord
on a stable, level and water-
repellent surface out of the reach
of children. Never place on hot
surfaces (e.g hot plates or cook-
ers) and within 50 cms of a heat
source (ie microwave or fires).
When connecting to the pow-
er supply, ensure that the mains
voltage complies with the infor-
mation on the nameplate. The
appliance may only be connected
to earthed, triple-pole sockets.
Otherwise your warranty rights
may cease. Ensure that the mains
cable is not damaged:
• no contact with sharp-edged or
hot objects
• do not place the appliance on
the cable
• do not pull the plug out of the
power socket using the cable
• do not allow the cable to hang -
tripping hazard
If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufac-
turer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid
a hazard.
If the machine is not required for
use of an extended period of time
(greater than 24 hours) the follow-
ing is highly recommended. Please
empty the appliance, evaporate the
residual water (see page 24/25),
unplug devise from mains power
and thoroughly clean appliance.
This appliance can be used by
children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced
Safety information

physical, sensory or mental ca-
pabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance
in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the
appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children
without supervision.
Avoid scalding and injuries:
Never leave the appliance unsu-
pervised when preparing hot
drinks. Never open the lever on
the appliance during the brewing,
rinsing, cleaning or descaling pro-
cesses. When you open the lever
after completing the relevant pro-
cess, never hold your finger un-
derneath the drinks spout - scal-
ding hazard due to residual liquid
continuing to drip.
When opening the lever to eject
the capsule after the brewing pro-
cess, never bend over the capsu-
le insertion opening - hot liquids
can spray out!
You should also never insert your
finger into the capsule opening -
injury hazard.
Please never use the lever to
lift the appliance. Ensure that
children do not insert any objects
into appliance openings. Only
ever use the appliance with the
drip tray and the draining rack
(exception: an "extra-large cup" is
placed on the base plate without
the drip tray). Do not overfill the
water tank. You should only ever
fill the tank with fresh drinking
water for health reasons.
Cleaning and maintenance:
Cleaning and descaling the appli-
ance may only ever be carried out
using the cleaning and descaling
agents intended. In this case,
please proceed in accordance
with the instruction manual and
safety regulations. Always remo-
ve the power plug before cleaning
the outside of the appliance, and
allow it to cool down. The appli-
ance, mains cable or mains plug
may not be cleaned wet, held un-
der flowing water or immersed in
liquids.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to
the appliance do not use alkaline
cleaning agents when cleaning,
use a soft cloth and a mild de-
tergent.
Never place the appliance or parts
of it in the dishwasher.
Safety information (continued)

Switch the appliance off at power
supply (240V plug) at the end of
the day or periods of absence.
Apart from the normal brewing
and care operations, all other
measures such as repairs or exch-
anging the mains cable may only
be carried out by customer service
personnel authorized by the ma-
nufacturer.
Use of drink capsules:
In order to avoid hazards, please
never insert damaged or deformed
drink capsules.
Should you ever experience any un-
usual interruption to the brewing
cycle please contact 1800 469 373.
Furthermore, you should only ever
use original K-fee® – your system
drink capsules with the red
K-fee® – your system logo and
the characteristic grooved capsule
shape.
The use of non-original capsules
can lead to the discharge of hot
water and steam under high pres-
sure due to the differences in
brewing processes and capsule
structure - scalding hazard. Apart
from this, the appliance may be
damaged and your warranty claims
may become invalid.
If non-original capsules are used
in this appliance, neither the ma-
nufacturer nor any sales partners
can be made liable for injuries or
material damages which occur as
an immediate consequence of the
above. This operating manual is
also available on
www.expressishop.com.au

the spout and do not remove
the drip tray during operation -

1Open and close the lever so that you
eject any capsule which might not have
been released into the spent capsule
container. Now remove and empty the
water tank.

the rotating scale on the water filter. The
expiry date is automatically displayed.
3Insert the filter into the empty water
tank. Now fill the water tank with fresh
drinking water. Put it back into the ap-
pliance and place a collecting container
under the spout.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Read the user and safety
information about the water
filter through carefully. We recommend
that you replace the water filter every
3 months at the latest for hygienic rea-
sons.
INFO
This water filter protects your
appliance against calcificati-
on and reduces the number of times
you have to descale it. It also remo-
ves undesirable odours and flavourings
such as chlorine etc. and therefore im-
proves the quality of your drinks. Plea-
se only use water filters which are sui-
table for EXPRESSI capsule machines.
