“Warnings”: failure to follow these warnings
may result in death or severe injury.
Warnings:
•Unplug the cable immediately in a state of
emergency.
•Do not place hands underneath the hot
water jet or outlet during the preparation of
the beverage (danger of burning).
•Always put a cup underneath the outlets
when rinsing the machine.
•Ensure electrical plugs are clean and free of
dust. It can cause an electric shock, short
circuit or fire.
•Unplug the cable when the machine is not in
use to avoid the risk of injury, burn, electric
shock, electric leak or fire caused by dielectric
degradation.
•Do not damage, destroy, remodel, bend, pull
or twist the power plug forcedly. The plug
can be damaged and cause fire or electric
shock by placing heavy objects on it, taking
it apart or modifying it.
•Do not handle plug with wet hands.
•Plug the machine only into mains voltage of
230 V - 50 Hz.
•Do not place coffee box near objects which
could be affected by magnet.
•The heating element surface is subject to
residual heat after use.
Advised usage:
•Insert the plug in a socket which is properly-
wired. When using an extension cord, do not
put many loads on one outlet. It can result
in fire caused by abnormal heat. In the event
that the plug and cord get hot, stop using
the machine immediately (do not use the
machine abroad).
•Do not unplug the machine by pulling the
cord. It can cause a short circuit. Do not
touch the plug with wet hands. It can cause

•The appliance must not be immersed.
•Do not put anything (hot water, milk, alcohol
etc) other than potable water in the water
tank. It can dirty or clog the inside of the
machine and cause failure. We recommend
the usage of soft water.
•Do not use the machine near fire or place it

•The coffee box is equipped with a permanent
magnet. Avoid placing the coffee box near
appliances and objects that can be damaged
by magnetism, e.g. credit cards, usb drives
and other data devices, video tapes, television
and computer monitors with picture tubes,
mechanical clocks, hearing aids and loud
speakers.
•Patients with pacemakers or defibrillators:
Do not hold the coffee box directly over the
pacemaker or defibrillator.
•Do not wash the power plug or the cord
with water nor leave them in liquid, such as
cleanser. It can cause a failure.
•Do not leave water in the water tank when
the machine is not used over a long period of
time. The water can become contaminated.
Use fresh water every time you use the
machine.
•Do not use the machine when it has a failure,
does not work properly or indicates any
possibility of failure.
•Do not put too much water in the water tank
as it will spill over the power connector.
•Do not put a load on the machine and do
not squeeze the machine in between two
shelves. This could lead to damage.
Further instructions:
•In some situations the machine requires a
rinsing cycle. Before operating again, put a
cup underneath the outlets.
•Drawer can only be inserted when the mixing
chamber is inserted and locked.
We recommend the use of NESCAFÉ GOLD,
which has been tested with NESCAFÉ GOLD
BLEND Barista system and particularly suits it.
The system is not designed for fine soluble
coffee (like for instance NESCAFÉ Espresso),
nor agglomerated soluble coffee powder
(like for instance NESCAFÉ Classic), and as
well not for R&G coffee. Upon use of those
coffee, the system will be blocked.
