Important
Read this user manual carefully before using the appliance and save it for
future reference.
Never allow water to come into contact with any of the electrical parts of
the machine: Danger of short circuit! Hot water may cause burning! Never
not direct the hot water jet towards body parts. Handle the hot water
wand with care.
Intended Use
The coee machine is intended for domestic use only. Do not make any
technical changes or use the machine for unauthorised purposes since this
would create serious hazards! The appliance is not to be used by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, mental or sensory abilities or
with scarce experience and/or expertise, unless they are supervised by a
person responsible for their safety, or they are instructed by this person on
how to properly use the machine.
Power Supply - Power Cord
Connect the coee machine only to a suitable socket.
The socket to which the machine is connected must be:
- Compatible with the type of plug installed on the machine;
- Suitably sized to comply with the data on the plate attached to the
appliance;
- Connected to an ecient earthing system.
Never use the coee machine if the power cord is defective or damaged.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or
by its authorised service centre.
Do not pass the power cord around corners, over sharp edges or over hot
objects and keep it away from oil.
Do not use the power cord to carry or pull the coee machine.
Do not pull out the plug by the power cord or touch it with wet hands. Do
not let the power cord hang freely from tables or shelves.
For the Safety of Others
Prevent children from playing with the machine. Children are not aware
of the risks related to electrical household appliances. Do not leave the
machine packaging materials within the reach of children.
Danger of Burns
Never direct the jet of hot steam and/or hot water towards yourself or oth-
ers: Danger of burns!
Machine Location - Suitable Location for Operation and Mainte-
nance
For best use, it is recommended to:
• Choose a safe, level surface, where there will be no danger of overturn-
ing the appliance or being injured;
• Choose a location that is suciently well-lit, clean and near an easily

ENGLISH 5
reachable socket;
• Provide for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as
shown in the illustration;
• While switching on or o the machine, we suggest placing an empty
glass under the dispensing spout.
Do not keep the machine at temperatures below 0°C. Frost may damage
the machine. Do not use the coee machine outdoors.
In order to prevent its housing from melting or being damaged, do not
place the machine on very hot surfaces and close to open ames.
Storing the Machine - Cleaning
Before cleaning the machine, turn it o by pressing the " " button and
then by switching the power button to "0". Finally, remove the plug from
the socket.
Keep the machine at its best, clean and store it properly.
Since the machine uses natural ingredients to brew beverages (coee
beans, water, milk, etc.), some residues of ground coee or condensed wa-
ter could be present on its supporting surface. For this reason we recom-
mend to periodically clean both the visible parts of the machine and the
area beneath it.
Before storing the machine we strongly recommend to clean it:
- Water left in the tank and/or the water circuit for several days should
not be consumed. If the machine is going to remain inactive for a long
time, dispense water from the hot water wand and carefully clean the
Cappuccinatore (if supplied).
- Turn o the power button and clean the machine. Finally, remove the
plug from the socket. Wait for the machine to cool down.
Never immerse the machine in water! Store it in a dry place, out of the
reach of children. Keep it protected from dust and dirt.
It is strictly forbidden to tamper with the internal parts of the machine.
For thorough cleaning, the Cappuccinatore can be detached and disassem-
bled and its parts can be put in a dishwasher (not professional type).
The washing process in the dishwasher may cause the surface of the Cap-
puccinatore parts to tarnish or the graphics to fade, especially if aggressive
detergents are used.
This is a normal phenomenon and does not aect in any way the correct
operation of the milk system.
Malfunction
In case of failure, problems or a suspected fault resulting from the falling of
the machine, immediately remove the plug from the socket. Never attempt
to operate a faulty machine.
For further information on troubleshooting and service, please refer to the
"Troubleshooting" and "Service" chapters.
Fire Safety Precautions
In case of re, use carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguishers. Do not use water or
dry powder extinguishers.

6 ENGLISH

"INTENZA+" Water Filter
The “INTENZA+” water lter can improve the quality of water. Using the
“INTENZA+” lter will prevent limescale from building up and will ensure
a much more intense aroma to your espresso coee. We therefore recom-
mend you to install the“INTENZA+” water lter. You can purchase it at your
local dealer, on-line at the Philips on-line shop at http://shop.philips.com or
at the authorised service centres.
