Electrical hazards
• To prevent electric shock, do not immerse the appliance, plug or power cable in water.
• Do not use the coffee-machine out in the open.
• Connect the machine to a power outlet with grounding system. The voltage must
correspond to the value indicated in the technical data section.
• Do not use the coffee machine if the appliance itself, the power cable or the plug is
damaged or after the machine has been knocked down.
• Do not make any alterations to the coffee machine or power cable. The coffee machine
should only be repaired by authorized service centres or qualified personnel to avoid any
risks resulting from inappropriate repair.

• Never leave the machine ON while unattended.
Always remove the power cable from the power outlet:

Precautions against burns
• Steam and/or hot water can cause burns.
Do not aim the steam jet toward yourself and/or other people, animals, materials that are
sensitive to high temperatures and/or to humidity.
In the event that boiling water and/or steam escapes, beware of the danger of burns!
Do not touch the hot parts of the coffee machine, i.e. the steam wand. Use the steam
function or froth function only if the steam wand is immersed in a suitable container.
• When coffee is being made, water is pushed at high pressure through the coffee capsule
in the capsule holder. Before turning ON the machine, always ensure that the capsule
holder is correctly introduced and that the lever is pulled down completely.
• Do NOT lift the lever or remove the capsule-holder while the coffee machine is operating.
Safety notice – cutting hazard
A spike is fitted in the capsule holder and another one in the capsule holder support. The
purpose of the spikes is to pierce the coffee capsule at the top and at the bottom when the
capsule is introduced in the capsule holder. Should you need to move the coffee machine to
another location, you are strongly advised to grab it from the casing.
