fl ames.
The coff ee machine is now ready to be connected to the electric
network.
Note: we recommend washing the components
before using them for the fi rst time and/or af-
ter they have not been used for a certain period of time.

Electric power may be very dangerous! It is
therefore necessary to strictly follow the safety
regulations. Do not use faulty power cords. Faulty cords
