WARNING

•If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.

•Do not use the coffee system until it has been properly installed by a qualified installer according to the accompanying installation instructions. Have the installer show you the location of the power connector and the fuse or junction box so that you know where and how to turn off power to the coffee system.

•Do not install, repair, or replace any part of the coffee system unless specifically

recommended in the literature accompanying it. A qualified service technician should perform all other service.

•Keep packaging materials away from children. Plastic sheets and bags can cause suffocation.

•Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area around the coffee system. Do not allow children to play with the controls, or touch other parts of it.

•Do not store items of interest to children on top of or above the coffee system. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the appliance.

•Do not tamper with the controls.

•Clean the coffee system thoroughly according to the Flushing Out the Coffee System section on page 41 before operating it for the first time.

•Clean and maintain the coffee system according to the maintenance schedule on the facing page. Clean it only in the manner indicated in the Cleaning and Maintenance section of this manual. Use only the cleaning agents specified.

•Do not use a steam or pressure cleaner to clean the coffee system or any part of it. Damage caused by cleaning the unit in this manner could result in electric shock, fire, or explosion.

•Allow the coffee system to cool before cleaning.

•To prevent sickness due to food poisoning, perform a milk cleaning no more than two hours after making the last milk drink. See page 35.

•On model CM24T-1: Change the water in the tank daily to prevent sickness due to bacteria growth.

•When cleaning the mechanical parts of the coffee system, exercise care with hands and arms around the metal edges.

•During normal operation, the person using the coffee system must pull it out from the cabinet to fill the coffee bins, etc. To prevent personal injury, when pushing the coffee system back into the cabinet, make sure body parts and clothing are clear of the portion of the coffee system behind the front panel.

CAUTION

•To prevent jamming of the grinding mechanism, use only the types of coffee beans specified in this manual.

•Remove the drip tray before closing the front panel door. Closing the front panel door without the drip tray removed could damage parts of the coffee system.

•Do not put any part of your coffee system in a dishwasher. Many of the parts are not dishwasher safe.
