SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
This appliance is for household use. Any servicing, other than cleaning and user maintenance, should be performed by an authorized service centre. Do not immerse base in water. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not disassemble the base. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only.
1. Check voltage to be sure that the voltage indicated on the nameplate agrees with your voltage. 2. Never use warm or hot water to fill the water tank. Use cold water only. 3. Keep your hands and the cord away from hot parts of the appliance during operation. 4. Never clean with scouring powders or hard implements. Simply use a soft cloth dampened with water. 5. To avoid your coffee maker scaling up, use purified or bottled water.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE POWER SUPPLY CORD
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks of getting tangled up or tripping over a longer cord. B. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. C. If a long extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding type.
3. The cable does not hang from the table to avoid the risk of getting caught up in it.
The coffee machine is suitable to make espresso coffee using coffee beans and is equipped with a device for the distribution of steam and hot water.
This elegantly styled machine is designed for household use only. It is not suitable for continuous professional-type use.
Warning. The manufacturer shall accept no liability for damage or injury caused by:
- improper use or use for other than the intended purposes; • repairs carried out by anyone other than an authorised service centre; • tampering with the power cord; • tampering with any machine component;
- use of spare parts and accessories other than those supplied by the manufacturer; • no descaling and storage in rooms below 0°C.
The warranty will be invalidated in such cases.
