Important Safety Information
Your safety is important to us. The Concordia Model 2500i dispenses hot
liquids and steam, and incorporates grinding operations. Please follow
all safety precautions to reduce the risk of electric shock, burns,
and/or injury to persons or property.
Machine Operation
Do not use the machine for anything other than its specific
intended use.
Close supervision is required anytime the machine is used near
children.
Machine must be installed in a safe and stable location and in
accordance with Concordia’s installation requirements.
Do not operate the machine with unauthorized parts or
attachments. Improper use may cause fire, electrical shock,
hazard or injury.
WARNING: Using unauthorized parts or attachments will
nullify the machine warranty.
Do not attempt to override safety interlocks.
Hot Surface and Liquids
Care must be taken around hot liquids and steam produced and
dispensed by the machine. Serious burns can occur.
Do not touch hot surfaces or parts.
Electrical
To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse the
power cord, plugs or machine in water or any other liquid.
Turn the power switch to “OFF” when the machine is not being
used for any extended period.
Unplug machine when completing any type of maintenance or
repairs.
Do not operate the machine with an improper or damaged cord
or plug, or after the machine has been damaged in any manner.
A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of tripping

drape over a table or countertop, or otherwise allow accidental
tripping or entanglement.
Espresso Grinders

The grinding mechanisms and burr blades are powerful; avoid
contact with all moving parts.
Never feed coffee beans into the grinder by hand.
Never place a foreign object, finger, or hand into the grinding
