List of hazards

This chapter describes possible hazards for the
user if the specific safety standards (described in this
manual) are not followed.
The appliance must be connected to an effi-
cient grounding system
If this is not done, the appliance can be a source
of dangerous electrical shocks as it is no longer able
to discharge electricity to earth.
Do not use running water for washing
The use of pressurized water directly on the
machine can seriously damage the electrical equip-
ment. Never use water jets to wash any part of the
appliance.
Be careful of the steam and hot water nozzles
During use, the steam and hot water nozzles
become very hot and are thus a potential source
of danger.
Handle these parts carefully. Never direct steam
or hot water jets directly on the body.
Do not work on the machine when it is sup-
plied with electrical power
Before carrying out any maintenance or repair
work on the machine you must turn it off using the
main switch or, better yet, disconnecting the mains
connection terminals. Never remove any body panel
when the machine is supplied with electrical power.
If you should decide not to use the appliance,
it is necessary to shut it down by disconnecting the
power supply cable from the electrical mains, clos-
ing the inflow of water from the hydraulic mains
and emptying the hydraulic system.
For the operations of disconnection from the
electrical and hydraulic mains and of release of the
water, qualified personnel has to be contacted.
Never work on the hydraulic system before
having emptied it
All work regarding the hydraulic system and the
related boiler is to be avoided when there is still
water and pressure in the system. Thus you must
empty it beforehand by closing the mains tap and
dry-running the delivery group for a short time.
User manual
Switch off the machine and turn on all the steam
and water taps. When the pressure is zero, empty
the boiler completely by unscrewing the special
pipe fitting located on the lower part of boiler.
If the above procedure is not carried out cor-
rectly, opening any part of the hydraulic system
can cause a sudden outburst of superheated water
under pressure.
Gas machines
Periodically check for gas leaks in the system by
applying a soapy solution to the ducts.
For safety reasons, close the gas heating system
when the machine is not in use (at night or during
hours of closure).
Use of the appliance
This espresso coffee machine is an appliance for
professional use only. Any other type of use is con-
sidered incorrect and therefore dangerous. Never
allow children or people not familiar with it to use
the machine.
Non-observance of the above-described stand-
ards can cause serious harm to people, prop-
erty or animals.
Never operate the electronic apparatus when
the appliance is supplied with electrical power.
Shut down the appliance completely by dis-
connecting it from the power outlet before
carrying out any operation.
