A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped

PREPARING FOR USE
Machine Packaging
The original packaging has been designed and constructed to protect the
machine during transport. We recommend keeping the packaging material
for possible future transport.
Machine Installation
1Remove the machine from the packaging.
2For best use, it is recommended to:
• Choose a safe, level surface where there will be no danger of over-
turning the machine or being injured.
• Choose a location that is suciently well-lit, clean and near an eas-
ily reachable socket.
• Allow for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as
shown in the gure.
3Open the water tank lid.
4Remove the water tank by using the handle.

11 ENGLISH 11
8Slowly pour the coee beans into the coee bean hopper.
Note:
Do not pour too many coee beans into the coee bean hopper as this will
reduce the grinding performance of the machine.
Caution:
Only coee beans must be put into the coee bean hopper. If ground
coee, instant coee, caramelized coee, raw coee beans or any
other substance is put in the coee bean hopper, it may damage the
machine.
9Put the lid back on the coee bean hopper.
10 Insert the plug into the socket located on the back of the machine.
11 Insert the plug at the other end of the power cord into a wall socket
with suitable power voltage.

the water lter, see next chapter).
To measure water hardness, follow the steps below:
1Immerse the water hardness test strip (supplied with the machine) in
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one single measurement.
2Wait for one minute.
