HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your 3-in-1 Coffee Center for the first time wash all removable
parts in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry. Run water through both
sides of the machine, the filter coffee side and the espresso side. Follow the
directions as described in each section, leaving out the coffee.

cups or to the bottom of the metal rim for 4 cups so you have enough
water for steaming.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is
exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, 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. If the appliance is of the
grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The
extension 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 over.
