Danger of damage originating from other causes
• Do not lift the appliance by grasping its water tank, but only by grasping its body.
• Choose a sufficiently well lit and clean environment, with an easily accessible
electric socket.
• Avoid putting excessive quantities of water into the tank.
• The appliance must not be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage or leaks of water. Do not use the appliance if the power cord or the plug
are damaged, or if the appliance is faulty. To prevent any accident, all repairs, in-
cluding the replacement of the power cord, must be carried out by an Authorised
Service Centre or, in any case, by qualified personnel.
• Never direct the steam or hot water jet towards parts of the body; handle the
steam/hot water spout with care: risk of scalding!
• The appliance's external metallic parts must not be touched when the machine is
functioning as it could cause burns.
• If water does not come out of the filter holder, it may be because the Thermo-
cream® filter is clogged. Stop the brewing and wait ten seconds. Remove and
disconnect the filter holder because any remaining pressure could cause splash-
es or squirts. Then clean as explained in the relevant paragraph.
• Place the machine on a stable surface where it cannot be knocked over.
• Never use the machine without water because the pump will burn out.
• Never fill the water tank with hot or boiling water.
• Do not place the machine on very hot surfaces or near open flames in order to
prevent damage to the body.
• The cable must not touch any hot parts of the machine.
• Do not use sparkling water (with added carbon dioxide).
• Never put substances other than ground coffee into the filter holder. They could
cause serious damage to the appliance.
• Do not leave the machine at a room temperature below 0°C because the water
remaining in the boiler could freeze and cause damage.
• Never use the appliance outdoors.
• Do not expose the appliance to atmospheric agents (rain, sun ...).
• Before cleaning the appliance always unplug it and allow it cool down. Clean only
with a non-abrasive cloth that has been slightly dampened with water, adding a
few drops of mild, non-aggressive detergent (never use solvents that damage
plastic).
• KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE
