• Observe the following when setting up the appliance:
o Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, stable and even surface (no
varnished surfaces, no table cloths etc.).
o Never place the unit on electric heating plates or an open gas flame!
o Place it beyond children's reach.
o Leave a sufficient ventilation distance around the espresso maker to
avoid damage by heat or vapour and to grant an unobstructed work
area. Unhindered air supply has to be ensured.
o Do not operate the appliance in the vicinity of sources of heat (oven,
gas flame etc.) or in explosive environments, where inflammable liquids
or gases are located.
• Pull the power plug after each use for safe switch-off.
• Do not "park" or store the empty pot on the connected power base.
• Do not use the appliance as space heater.
Initial use
For a start, please clean all the accessory parts with warm water tank. Do not immerse the water tank or
the power base in water in this process.
For hygienic reasons we recommend for initial use that you prepare one pot of espresso and pour it away
then.
When delivered the power cord is put in the cord storage at the underside of the power base. You may
take it out depending on the length that is needed.
Take care that the cord runs through the opening provided in the power base to guarantee an even
surface for standing.
Only operate the appliance on a stable and even surface and make sure that the cord does not hang over
the surface's edge.
Only fill water in the water tank. On no account must it be filled with coffee, milk or other liquids. When
filling it please take care that no water is dropped on the power base or the underside of the water tank.
