D uring machine operation some parts reach high temperatures, such as the dispensing units, the portafilters and the steam wands. Pay attention not to touch or put your hands under these parts when using them, to prevent scalds or burns. Always use appropriate knobs and handles for operation. 33 Install the portafilter by inserting it into the head of the unit and turning the handle from left to right. The portafilter is inserted correctly once it is firmly inside the head of the unit and the handle is positioned at a right angle to the front of the machine. 34 Never remove (disengage/release) the portafilter while dispens- ing coffee. Burns could occur if the portafilter is removed during dispensing cycles. 35 Pay close attention to the surfaces of the heating elements as they are subject to residual heat even after use. 36 Only use the appliance as intended. 37 The coffee machine must not be stored in a closed place (cab- inet, etc.) when in use. 38 This appliance is intended for use in domestic or small catering environments such as: a. Kitchen areas for staff in shops, offices and other workplaces. b. Agritourism establishments with a common room for kitchen use.
