120 V~ 60 Hz 1450 W When using electrical machines, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Read all instructions. • Use this machine only as described in this instruction manual. As with any electrical machine, the instructions aim to cover as many situations as possible. Caution and common sense should be used when operating and installing this machine. • To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or machine in water or other liquid. • Never allow the machine to be used by children. • Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before fitting or taking off parts, and before cleaning the machine. • Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the machine malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the machine to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment. • The use of accessory attachments or spare parts not recommended by the machine manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock or personal injury. • Do not use outdoors. • Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. • Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated oven. • Plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet. • Do not use the machine for other than the intended use. This machine is to be utilized for domestic use only. Any other use is to be considered improper and therefore, dangerous. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the exterior of the unit or the cover. Don’t attempt to repair or modify the machine, doing so will void the warranty. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only!

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the machine. If the machine is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. 3

It is an electrical machine. • Before cleaning the outside of the machine, turn it off, unplug from the main socket and allow to cool.

12.2 Cleaning the coffee filters

The coffee filters are designed to obtain the best possible coffee crema. For best results, the filters must always be clean and free from all coffee residues. After using the appliance, always rinse the filters under abundant running water (fig. 3), pushing the perforated filter to make sure it is always correctly inserted in its housing (fig.4);

make sure the hole underneath (shown in fig. 5) is free from all residues.

12.1 Cleaning the drip tray

Important! The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (red) showing the level of water it contains. Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray (fig. 1), the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned otherwise the water may overflow the edge and damage the machine, the surface it rests on or the surrounding area.

If still dirty, and in any case always at least once a month, clean the coffee filters thoroughly: 1. Extract the perforated filter by pulling the tab (fig. 6).

2. Rinse the filters under running water (fig. 7).

3. Make sure the holes are not clogged. If necessary, clean with a pin (fig. 5-7). 4. Dry all the components with a cloth. 5. Put the perforated filter back in the housing and press as far as it will go (fig. 4). Pod filter Rinse under running water. Make sure the holes are not clogged.
