Danger of burning and scalding
on hot components or by hot liquids.
Components can become very hot
during operation. Touching hot
components can cause burning. The
liquids and steam dispensed are very
hot and can cause scalding.
Keep away from the area underneath
the dispensers when hot liquids and
steam are being dispensed.
Always allow the coffee machine to
cool down before cleaning it.
Please be aware that water in the
drip tray can also be very hot.

Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance could reach electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the coffee machine.
It is important to clean the appliance
regularly. Milk residues can go off and
can block the milk pipe.
