SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1/2
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be observed, including the following:
These instructions are to ensure you use this
electric product safely and prevent you and
other users from the risk of damage or hazard.
Please read and follow carefully all indicated
“Warnings” and instructions.
“Warnings”: failure to follow these warnings
may result in death or severe injury.
Warnings:
•In case of an emergency remove plug from
power socket immediately.
•Do not place hands underneath the hot water
jet or outlet during the preparation of the
beverage (danger of burning). Never leave
the appliance while making a beverage.
•Ensure electrical plugs are clean and free of
dust. It can cause an electric shock, short
circuit or fire.
•Never touch cable or plug with wet hands.
Do not unplug by pulling the cable. In case of
damage, do not use the appliance. In order
to avoid danger, arrange repairs and/or
replacement of power cable by our Hotline
only.
•Do not damage, destroy, remodel, bend, pull
or twist the 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.
•Always put a cup underneath the outlets
when rinsing the machine.
Advised usage:
•Mains voltage used must be the same as the
details on the rating plate. Insert the plug in
a socket which is properly wired. When using
an extension cable, do not put many loads
in one outlet. It can result in fire caused by
abnormal heat. In the event that the plug
and cable get hot, stop using the machine
immediately (do not use the machine abroad).
•The manufacturer is not liable for damage
caused by improper use of the machine or
failure to comply with the instructions of this
manual. Such damages are also not covered
by the warranty.
•Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
•This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
•This appliance is intended to be used in
household and similar applications such as:
- Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and
other working environments;
- Farm houses;
- By clients in hotels, motels and other
residential type environments;
- Bed and breakfast type environments.
•Always use the appliance on a flat, stable, heat
resistant surface away from sources of heat
or water splashes. Do not place cable close
to heat, sharp edges, etc. Do not allow cable
to dangle (risk of tripping up).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 2/2
•Do not use the machine near fire or place it
on hot surfaces (e.g. on top of electric hot
plate). It can cause a fire.
•Do not put a load on the machine. When in
use do not squeeze the machine in between
two shelves nor place it in a cabinet. This
could lead to damage.
•Do not use the machine if it is not operating
perfectly or if there is evidence of damage. In
such cases inform our Hotline.
•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 insert any foreign object in the mixing
chamber.
•Do not put anything (hot water, milk, alcohol,
etc) other than potable water in the water
tank. It can block or clog the inside of the
machine and cause failure. We recommend
the usage of soft water.
•Do not put too much water in the water tank
as it will spill over the power connection to
the machine. The water tank must be filled
when detached from the machine.
•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.
•Clean machine periodically according to
instructions in chapter “CLEANING”.
•When cleaning the machine, unplug the
machine and let it cool down. Do not clean
the machine while it is still hot. You can burn
yourself.
•Do not wash the plug or the cable with water
nor leave them in liquid, such as cleanser. It
can cause a failure.
•The appliance must not be immersed in water.
•The machine’s cover is equipped with a
permanent magnet. Avoid placing appliances
and objects that can be damaged by
magnetism close to cover, 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 approach the cover directly over the
pacemaker or defibrillator.
Further instructions:
•Drawer can only be inserted when the mixing
chamber is inserted and locked.
•In some situations the machine requires a
rinsing cycle. Before operating again, put a
cup underneath the outlets.
We recommend using NESCAFÉ GOLD
coffee which is suited and tested for the
NESCAFÉ GOLD BLEND Barista system.
Agglomerated soluble spray dried coffee
powder (for instance NESCAFÉ Red Cup),
roast and ground coffee, are not designed for
use in this coffee machine. Upon use of those
coffee types, the system will be blocked or
damaged.
