The manufacturer declines all and every responsibility for any
damages caused by the failure to comply with the instructions
given in this manual or by the failure to comply with the current
safety rules and regulations.
13. risks when using the machine
Here is a list of the possible risks for the user if the safety standards described in this
manual are not complied with:
the electricity mains must have an effective earthing system to avoid any discharges;
never open the dispensing unit while it is dispensing coffee because very hot water
and steam can come out;
the attempt to repair the appliance can lead to malfunctions and hazards for the
user: if any maintenance is required call in authorised personnel only;
do not wash the outside of the coffee maker with water and do not spray jets of
water inside it as damage could be caused and hazards result;
pay attention to the dispensing unit, coffee spouts and steam nozzle as they are all
hot parts;
never carry out any installation, maintenance or cleaning on the coffee maker until
the plug has been taken out of the mains socket and it is completely cold;
do not use the coffee maker for purposes other than those specified.
12. cleaning and maintenance
To keep your coffee maker working properly we suggest cleaning it regularly.
Clean the outside with a soft cloth moistened with warm water (do not use abrasive
detergents).
Clean the filter holder regularly, working it for a few seconds without the coffee pod
in it.
Check and empty the water drainage tray.
Clean the end of the steam spout with a soft cloth moistened with hot water.
In the case of a breakdown, malfunction or if the coffee maker needs overhauling,
do not attempt it yourself but contact your dealer or an authorised assistance centre.
11. tips to make a good cup of coffee
To make a good quality cup of coffee we suggest following these few but essential
rules:

open the coffee pod just before youre going to use it;
if youre using freshly ground coffee do not keep large quantities for long periods of
time. Its always preferable to have fresh coffee;
keep the filter holder warm by leaving it hooked to the dispensing unit;
warm the ceramic coffee cups before using them;
wait for the relative pilot lights to go out before dispensing coffee and steam to get
the best quality.
