whose formula has been designed to respect the

technical features of the machine, ensuring its performance

will not decrease with time, and for a safe and risk-free use.

The descaling solution is to be disposed of according to the

manufacturer’s instructions and/or regulations in force in

SAFETY REGULATIONS Never allow water to come into contact with any of the electrical parts of the machine: Danger of short circuit! Steam and hot water

may cause scalding! Do not direct the steam or hot water jet towards body parts. Carefully handle the steam/hot water spout by its

grip: Danger of scalding!

The co ee machine is intended for domestic use only. Do not make any technical changes or use the machine for unauthorised purposes since this would

create serious hazards! The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, mental or sensory abilities or with limited

experience and/or expertise, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety, or they are instructed by this person on how to properly use

Power Supply - Power Cord

Only connect the co ee machine to a suitable socket.

The voltage must correspond to that indicated on the machine label. Never use the co ee machine if the power cord is defective or damaged. If the power cord

is damaged, it must be replaced with a proper cord having the same features of the one provided with the machine. Do not pass the power cord around corners,

over sharp edges or over hot objects and keep it away from oil. Do not use the power cord to carry or pull the co ee machine. Do not pull out the plug by the

power cord or touch it with wet hands. Do not let the power cord hang freely from tables or shelves.

For the Safety of Others

Prevent children from playing with the machine. Children are not aware of the risks related to electric household appliances. Do not leave the machine packag-

ing materials within the reach of children.

Never direct the jet of hot steam and/or hot water towards yourself or others: Danger of scalding! Brewing may be preceded by small jets of hot water. The

steam / hot water wand can reach very high temperatures: Never touch it with bare hands, use the appropriate knob.

Machine Location - Suitable Location for Operation and Maintenance

For best use, it is recommended to:

• Choose a safe, level surface, where there will be no danger of overturning it or being injured.

• Choose a location that is su ciently well-lit, clean and near an easily reachable socket.

• Allow for a minimum distance of approximately 15 cm from the sides of the machine.

Do not keep the machine at a temperature below 0°C. Frost may damage the machine. Do not use the co ee machine outdoors. In order to prevent its housing

from melting or being damaged, do not place the machine on very hot surfaces and close to open  ames.

Storing the Machine - Cleaning

Before cleaning the machine, turn the power button to OFF, and unplug the machine from the socket: Wait until it has cooled down. Never immerse the

It is strictly forbidden to tamper with the internal parts of the machine. (Only for GXI/02 model) - If the machine will not be used for a long time, dispense

water from the steam wand, and clean it thoroughly, then turn the machine o by means of the ON/OFF power button and unplug it from the socket. Store it

in a dry place, out of the reach of children. Keep it protected from dust and dirt.

Fill the tank only with fresh, non-sparkling, drinking water. Do not operate the machine if the water is not at least above the minimum level indicated on the

tank. Do not use the water left in the tank for some days for food purposes.

Capsule Compartment:

Only “Metodo Iperespresso” illy capsule can be inserted in the capsule compartment; do not put your  ngers or any other object in. Capsules can only be

used once. Do not open the capsule compartment when brewing co ees.

Repairs / Maintenance

In case of failure, problems or a suspected fault resulting from the falling of the machine, immediately remove the plug from the socket. Never attempt to

operate a faulty machine.

Servicing and repairs may only be carried out by authorised service centres. All liability for damages resulting from work not carried out by professionals is

declined. Keep the packaging for future transport.
