Using Milk
Milk must be used and
stored in accordance with
the instructions given on
the manufacturer's original
packaging.
We accept no liability for
use of milk unsuitable for
human consumption.
Milk must be kept cold, as
high temperatures will
make it turn sour - this is a
natural characteristic of
milk. For this reason, the
Cappuccinatore must be
cleaned after each use, as
described in the manual.

5 INSTALLATION
All the operations
described in this chapter
must be performed
exclusively by the service
provider or a specialised
technician, who shall
organise all the operating
steps and use only suitable
means to ensure strict
compliance with the safety
regulations in force.
5.1 Cautions
The appliance cannot be
installed in external areas.
Avoid placing it in areas
where the temperature is
lower than 2°C or higher
than 32°C and in
particularly humid or dusty
places. It should neither be
installed in places where
water jets are used for
cleaning operations nor
where there is a risk of fire
or explosion.
Make sure that the installation place is compatible with the
following specifications, before unpacking the appliance:
• the power socket which the appliance is connected to
should be easily accessible and at a distance not higher
that 1.2 metres;
• the gradient of the supporting surface should NOT
exceed 2°;
• the socket voltage must correspond to that indicated on
the appliance data plate.
The appliance must be
installed on a horizontal
surface.

English

18
Access to the machine and
the plug should be kept
clear at all times in order
to allow users to easily
reach them and to leave
the area immediately if
required.
The following illustration shows the required access distances:
• to the keypad on the front of the appliance;
• to the service units in the event of malfunction.
The presence of magnetic
fields or proximity to
electrical machines which
generate interference
could cause the electronic
controls of the machine to
malfunction. At
temperatures close to 0°C,
internal parts containing
water are at risk of
freezing. Do not use the
machine under these
conditions.
5.2 Unpacking and Positioning
On receipt of the appliance, make sure that it has not
suffered any damage during transport or that the packaging
has not been unduly opened with consequent stealing of
the components contained in it. If damage of any kind is
found, the courier must be informed and notice must be
immediately given to the importer or to the seller. If these
are not in the purchaser’s country, please contact the
manufacturing company directly.
An accessories bag is supplied with the machine.
