with reduced physical, sensory or
mental abilities or who lack expe-
rience and knowledge provided
they are supervised or have been
instructed regarding the safe op-
eration of the machine, and un-
derstand the resulting dangers.
• Cleaning or servicing of the ma-
chine that is normally carried out
by the user must not be carried
out by children unless they are
8years old or older and act un-
der supervision.
• The appliance and its connection
cable must be kept out of the
reach of children younger than
8 years. Children must not play
with the machine.
• Your appliance is designed for in-
door use only.
•In case of long periods of ab-
sence, vacation etc. the appliance
must be emptied, cleaned and
the mains plug must be removed
from the socket. Refer to chapter
"Cleaning, descaling and changing
filter if required" (see page 47).
•Do not damage the mains cable
with hot or sharp objects; do not
allow the mains cable to hang
down (risk of tripping) or touch
the cable with wet hands.
•Never lift the appliance by its le-
ver.
•Never open or close the lever
forcibly - risk of breakage!
•Never operate the appliance
without its drip trays, drip grating
or spent capsule container.
•For health reasons, fill the water
tank exclusively with fresh and
cold drinking water. Do not over-
fill the water tank.
•Only use beverage capsules in-
tended for this appliance that bear
the K-fee®system logo. Never
use a damaged or deformed cap-
sule.
•Before preparing a beverage,
make sure that there is no used
capsule in the brewing chamber
and that the new capsule is in-
serted correctly.
Positioning the appliance
•Always place the appliance on
a stable and level surface that is
water-resistant. Do not place the
appliance on its mains cable.
•Do not place the appliance on a
hot surface (e.g. a cooker) or op-
erate it next to heat sources or

ble or plug are damaged. Contact
the service centre (for your service
contact please refer to page 53).
•Install the mains cable out of the
reach of children.
• Verify that the mains voltage

sta may open the appliance.
•Keep the appliance away from
moisture and splash water.
•Never pour any type of liquid on
top of the appliance.
•Never unplug the appliance by
pulling the mains cable.

6
EN Avoiding danger from heat or
cold
•Danger of scalding from hot
spout. When a process has fin-
ished and you open the lever
do not hold fingers under the
outlet - there is a risk of scald-
ing from drops of residual liquid.
When brewing has finished, open
the lever slowly in order to eject
the capsule; take care, do not
bend over the capsule insertion
opening (danger of scalding due
to hot liquid splashes).
•Take care when emptying the
drip tray - the water can be very
hot.
•Never remove the lower drip
tray during operation - danger of
scalding!
•Never open the lever on the ap-
pliance during brewing, rinsing or
descaling. When a process has
been completed and the lever
is then opened, never hold your
fingers under the spout - there
is a risk of scalding from remain-
ing hot liquid dripping from the
spout!
• Never insert your fingers into the
capsule insertion opening.
• Protect the appliance from frost.
• Operate the appliance only
within the specified temperature
range (10 - 45 °C).
• Evaporate the residual water if
the appliance is to be transport-
ed or stored during frosty condi-
tions (temperatures below 0 °C),
refer to "Evaporation of residual
water" on page 51). Danger of
scalding: the steam temperature
can be up to 120 °C!
Hygiene and cleaning
•Only use capsules with a sell-by
date that has not yet expired.
•Store capsules in a suitable loca-
tion.
• For health reasons it is recom-
mended to rinse the appliance 5 x
before every first beverage prep-
aration and 1 x after every drink
poured. Read the instructions un-
der "Daily cleaning" on page 40.
• Before cleaning the appliance
with a damp cloth, unplug the
mains cable and allow the appli-
ance to cool down.
• Do not clean the appliance under
running water or with a water jet.
•Clean the appliance regularly and
in accordance with the user man-
ual to prevent risks to health.
•Only use cleaning/descaling
agents and water filters that are
suitable for the appliance. Visit
our website for more informa-
tion about products and/or au-
thorised dealers.
•Danger to health! - Carefully read
the cleaning and descaling agent
user instructions as well as those
of the water filter and comply
with the safety instructions.
Service and repairs
•The manufacturer accepts no li-
ability for consequences arising
from both internal and external
modification to the appliance.
•Never open the appliance to car-
ry out modifications yourself.
•Apart from normal use, all other
work such as repairs or replace-
ment of the mains cable may only
be carried out by an authorised
customer service company.
•If the appliance, mains cable or
plug are damaged, it is not permit-
ted to use the appliance. Contact
the service centre (for your service
contact please refer to page 53).
Capsules to be used!
Only use original K-fee®Sys-
tem capsules!
Look out for the red K-fee®
System logo and the charac-
teristic grooved shape of the
capsules.

7
EN
Using non-original capsules involves
the following risks:
1. Health hazards
Due to dierences in brewing tech-
nique and capsule structure, the
use of non-genuine capsules can
result in high pressure releases -
risk of scalding!
2.Danger to the machine and
loss of warranty
When using non-original capsules,
dierences in the brewing process
and the capsule design will cause
damage to the machine which
means that any warranty claims
may be forfeited!
The manufacturer and his dis-
tribution partner cannot be
held liable for any injury or
damage which is the direct or
indirect result of non-original
capsules being used with this
machine.
