Warning and Safety instructions
10

Correct use
Caution. The coffee spouts and the
cappuccinatore present a danger of
burning or scalding. The liquids and
steam dispensed are very hot.
~Please note:
–Keep well away from the area
underneath the coffee spouts or
cappuccinatore when hot liquids and
steam are being dispensed.
–Do not touch hot components.
– Ensure that the cappuccinatore is
fitted correctly. Only fit the
cappuccinatore if it is clean. If it
becomes clogged, hot liquid or
steam could spatter from the nozzle
or it could dislodge.
– The machine must not be used for
cleaning objects.
~Clean the coffee machine
thoroughly before using it for the first
time. Rinse through the coffee and milk
pipework (see "Cleaning and care").
~Please note the following regarding
water:
–Only use cold, clean tap water to fill
the water container. Warm or hot
water or other liquids could damage
the machine.
–Change the water every day to
prevent a build-up of bacteria.
–Do not use mineral water. Mineral
water will cause serious limescale
deposits to build up in your machine
and damage it.

Water hardness
The water hardness indicates how
much calcium is dissolved in the water.
The higher the calcium content, the
harder the water, and the harder the
water, the more often the coffee
machine will need to be descaled.
The coffee machine measures the
quantity of water and steam used. The
number of drinks which can be
dispensed before the machine needs to
be descaled will depend on the water
hardness level set.
Set the water hardness level on the
coffee machine to the water hardness
level for the local area to ensure that
the machine functions correctly and is
not damaged. This will ensure that the
reminder to descale the machine will
appear in the display at the correct
time.
