
Only fill the coffee chute with ground coffee beans.

Do not use any caramelised ready ground coffee. The sugar in the
coffee will stick to and block the brew unit of the coffee machine.
The cleaning tablets for degreasing the brew unit will not remove this
type of deposit.

Only use milk without additives. Additives in milk usually contain
sugar and this will stick to the milk pipework.

If using cow's milk, only use pasteurised milk to prevent a build-
up of bacteria in the appliance.

Do not place any alcohol mixtures which are alight underneath the
central spout. The flames could ignite plastic components and cause
them to melt.

Do not use naked flames, e.g. a candle, on or near the coffee
machine. The coffee machine could catch fire with the risk of the fire
spreading.

The machine must not be used for cleaning objects.
