- Keep the appliance, mains plug and mains cord away from naked fl ames and hot surfaces.
■ Do not kink or pinch the mains cord or lay it over sharp edges.
■ If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
■ Always take hold of the mains plug itself, not the mains cord. Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
■ Switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains when not in use, in the event of a fault, and before cleaning or maintenance.
■ Inspections and repairs to the appliance may only be carried out by authorised specialists. Independent repairs made to the appliance may cause damage to property and personal injury and void liability and warranty claims.
■ Never try to repair the appliance yourself.

Risks in handling coffee machines

WARNING
Fire hazard!
Improper use of the coffee maker can cause fires.
■ Do not heat the jug in a microwave or oven.

CAUTION
Health hazard!
Failure to clean the appliance can cause damage to health, as can improper use of ingredients or cleaners and descaling agents.
■ Fill the water tank with fresh water only; never use hot water or other liquids such as carbonated mineral water or milk.
- Keep the appliance and individual parts clean at all times.
■ Clean the appliance regularly (see "Full empty cycle" on page EN-11).
■ Follow manufacturer instructions on cleaners and descaling agents.

CAUTION
Risk of scalding!
When the coffee machine is in use, hot steam will come out of it which will lead to scalding if it comes into contact with unprotected skin.
■ Do not leave the lid open during operation.
■ Do not touch the lid or reach just above it during operation.
■ Avoid all contact with hot liquid.
Filling the appliance with fresh water shortly after brewing may produce a burst of hot steam.
■ If several brewing processes are required, switch off the coffee machine after each brewing process and allow it to cool for approx. 5 minutes.
Hot coffee can cause scalding in the mouth or the oesophagus and on unprotected skin.
■ Drink freshly brewed coffee with care.

CAUTION
Risk of burns!
The heating element surface becomes very hot during operation and can cause burns if touched. The heating element surface is subject to residual heat after use.
■ Only hold the jug by the handle.
■ Do not touch the hotplate when it is hot.
■ Do not reach under the filter.
■ Allow the appliance to cool completely prior to cleaning it.
■ Do not place any objects on the hot-plate except the jug.

NOTICE
Risk of damage to property!
Improper handling of the appliance can lead to damage.
■ Never expose the appliance to temperatures below 0 °C. Residual water that may have frozen could damage the appliance.
If the appliance is used at temperatures of less than +5 °C and over +40 °C it may lead to faults in the electronics.
■ Use the appliance only if it is standing on a level, stable and non-sensitive surface.
■ Never operate the appliance when empty.
■ Only use the jug supplied.
■ Never exceed maximum fi ll level.
■ Make sure that the fi lter is fi lled with pure ground coffee only and with no other substances, such as water-soluble or freeze-dried instant products, other drink powders or foreign bodies.
- Do not use any solvent, caustic or abrasive cleaning products (e.g. oven or grill spray) or cleaning utensils (e.g. scouring pads) to clean the appliance.
■ Note that the coffee-maker shall not be placed in a cabinet when in use (see "Suitable location" on page EN-10).
Surface coatings on furniture sometimes contain chemical additives that can eat away at the rubber feet of the appliance. This may cause residue to accumulate on the surface of the furniture.
■ Place a heat-resistant, waterproof and non-slip pad underneath the appliance if it is stood on sensitive furniture.

Waste prevention, free return and disposal
Waste prevention
According to the provisions of Directive 2008/98/EC, waste prevention measures always take priority over waste management.
In the case of electrical and electronic equipment, waste prevention measures include, in particular, prolonging the life of the equipment by repairing defective articles and selling used ones in good working order instead of dispatching them for disposal.
Please help us reduce waste and contact our customer service if your product is faulty.
Further particulars are available as part of the Waste Prevention Programme of the German Government with the Involvement of the Federal Länder.
Free return of old electrical appliances
Upon purchasing a new electrical appliance of the same type with essentially the same function, consumers may return an old electrical appliance to a distributor obliged to take back old appliances, at no extra cost for the consumers. This option also exists for deliveries made to a private household. For distance selling, the option of having old electrical equipment collected for free applies only in the case of purchase of new electrical equipment with heat exchangers (e.g. refrigerators, dehumidifiers), screens and display devices with a screen surface > 100 cm ^2 , and large devices with at least one of its external dimensions measuring more than 50 cm.
In addition, consumers may return up to three old electrical appliances of the same type to a distributor's collection point for free, without having to purchase a new electrical appliance. In this case, however, the old appliances' external dimensions may not exceed 25 cm.
Disposal
Disposing of old electrical devices in an environmentally friendly manner

Electrical appliances contain harmful substances as well as valuable resources.
Every consumer is therefore required by law to dispose of old electri-
cal appliances at an authorised collection or return point. They will thus be made available for environmentally-sound, resource-saving recycling.
You can dispose of old electrical appliances free of charge at your local recycling centre.
Please contact your dealer directly for more information about this topic.
Don't forget to erase data!
If necessary, each consumer is responsible for erasing personal data from electrical and electronic equipment.
Single-use and rechargeable batteries, lamps and bulbs
If necessary, old single-use and rechargeable batteries that are not encased by an old electrical appliance, as well as lamps/bulbs that can be removed from an old electrical appliance without being destroyed, must be removed and disposed of separately before you return the appliance.

This symbol means that single-use and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of with other household waste.
Consumers are required by law to bring all single-use and rechargeable batteries, regardless of whether they contain harmful substances*) or not, to a collection point operated by their communal authority or boro-
ugh or to a retailer, so that they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner and so that valuable resources (e.g. cobalt, nickel or copper) can be recovered.
Single-use and rechargeable batteries can be returned free of charge.
Some of the possible contents (e.g. mercury, cadmium and lead) are toxic and, if improperly disposed of, can have adverse effects on the environment. Heavy metals, for instance, can have detrimental health effects on humans, animals and plants and accumulate in the environment and food chain, and then enter the body indirectly through the consumption of food.
There is a high risk of fire with old lithium batteries. Special care must therefore be taken to properly dispose of old lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries. Improper disposal can also lead to internal and external short circuits due to thermal effects (heat) or mechanical damage. A short circuit can lead to a fire or an explosion and have serious consequences for people and the environment. It is therefore important to tape off the terminals of lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries before disposing of them to prevent an external short circuit.
Single-use and rechargeable batteries that are not built into the device should be removed before disposal and then disposed of separately.
Please only dispose of single-use and rechargeable batteries in a discharged state!
If possible, use rechargeable batteries in place of disposable batteries.

Hg = Mercury
Pb = Lead
Packaging

Our packaging is made of environmentally friendly, recyclable materials:
– Outer packaging made of cardboard
- Moulded parts made of foamed, CFC-free polystyrene (PS)
– Films and bags made of polyethylene (PE)
– Tension bands made of polypropylene (PP)
- Saving energy also protects against excessive global warming. Your new appliance uses little energy due to its environmentally friendly insulation and technology.
