IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following.
- Read all instructions carefully.
- Make sure the voltage of your electrical system corresponds to the voltage shown on the bottom of the machine.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in water or other liquid.
- Keep the appliance out of the reach of children and do not leave appliance unattended while in operation.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
- Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Make sure the power cord does not hang over the edge of the table or counter-top to avoid getting accidentally caught or entangled.
Do not place the appliance or its electrical parts on or near electric stoves, cooking surfaces, or gas burners.
- Plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, first turn machine "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use. This appliance is to be utilized for domestic use only. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused by improper, incorrect, or irresponsible use.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the cover or the exterior of the unit. 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 APPLIANCE 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 appliance. If the appliance 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.

The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:

• the appliance's internal circuit;
• coffee grounds container (A10);
• drip tray (A15) and drip tray grille(A14);
  water tank (A20);

• coffee spouts(A7);
  pre-ground coffee funnel (A4);

• brewing unit (A6), extractable after opening the brewing unit flap (A5);

• milk carafes (E) and (F)
• coffee pot (D8) (see section "9.8 Cleaning the coffee pot");
  travel mug (D9) (see section "13.1 Cleaning the travel mug after use").

Important!

• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean the coffee machine.

"Hot" milk carafe (E) removable	le brewing unit (A6)
"Cold" milk carafe (F)

16.2 Cleaning the internal circuit

If the appliance is not used for more than 3/4 days, before using it again, we strongly recommend switching it on and performing 2/3 rinse cycles by selecting the "Rinse" function (section "7.1 Rinsing").

Please note:

After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A10) to contain water.

16.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container

When "Please empty grounds container" appears on the display, the grounds container must be emptied and cleaned. The appliance cannot be used to make coffee until you have cleaned the grounds container (A10). Even if not full, the empty grounds container message is displayed 72 hours after the first coffee has been prepared. For the 72 hours to be calculated correctly, the machine must never be disconnected from the mains power supply.

Important! Danger of scalding

If you make a number of milk-based beverages one after the other, the metal cup tray (A13) becomes hot. Wait for it to cool down before touching it and handle it from the front only.

To clean (with the machine on):

1. Remove the drip tray (A15) and grounds container (A10) (fig. 28);

1. Empty the drip tray and grounds container and clean thoroughly to remove all residues left on the bottom. This can be done using the spatula on the brush (D5) provided.
2. Put the drip tray complete with grille and grounds container back in the appliance.

Important!

When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be emptied, even if it contains only a few grounds. If this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the grounds container will fill up more than expected and clog the machine.

16.4 Cleaning the drip tray and drip tray grille

Important!

The drip tray (A15) is fitted with a level indicator (A16) (red) showing the amount of water it contains (fig. 29).

Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray (A13), the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may overflow the edge and damage the appliance, the surface it rests on or the surrounding area. To remove the drip tray, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the drip tray and coffee grounds container (A10) (fig. 28);
2. Check the red condensate tray (A12) and empty if full;
3. Remove the cup tray (A13) and drip tray grille (A14), then empty the drip tray and grounds container and wash all components;
4. Put the drip tray complete with grille and grounds container back in the appliance.

Important!

When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be emptied, even if it contains few grounds. If this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the grounds container will fill up more than expected and clog the machine.

16.5 Cleaning the inside of the machine

Danger of electric shock!

Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must be turned off (see section "6. Turning the appliance off") and unplugged from the mains power supply. Never immerse the machine in water.

1. Check regularly (about once a month) that the inside of the appliance (accessible after removing the drip tray (A15)) is not dirty. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with the brush (D5) supplied and a sponge.

2. Remove all residues with a vacuum cleaner (fig. 30).

16.6 Cleaning the water tank
