How to avoid injuries and scalds when
using the machine.
Do not leave the machine unattended
during beverage preparation.
This machine can be used by children
from the age of 8 years and older and by
persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental abilities or who lack experience and knowledge provided they are
supervised or have been instructed regarding the safe operation of the machine, and understand the resulting dangers.
Cleaning or servicing of the machine
that is normally carried out by the user
must not be carried out by children unless they are 8 years old or older and act
under supervision.
The machine and its connection cable
must be kept out of the reach of children
younger than 8 years. Children must not
play with the machine.
Never open the lever on the machine
during the brewing, rinsing, cleaning or
descaling processes. Do not hold your
fingers under the dispensing spout after
completing a process and when opening
the lever. There is a risk of scalding due
to residual liquid discharging! When the
brewing process has been completed,
slowly open the lever in order to eject
the capsule; do not bend over the capsule insertion opening (risk of hot liquid
sprays).
Never reach with your fingers into the
capsule insertion opening - risk of injury!
Do not touch the milk foaming unit
when it is in operation - risk of burning
injuries!
Do not hold your fingers under the milk
discharge spout. Risk of scalding from
hot milk froth, steam jet or residual liquid discharge!

Safety instructions
(continued)
The milk foaming unit must never be
blocked with dried milk residue; after
any dismantling reassemble carefully
ensuring all parts are fitted correctly to

tray and drip grating! Do not overfill the
water tank. Never lift the machine by its
lever.

Safety instructions
(continued)
Never use a damaged or deformed capsule. Only use drink capsules marked
with the K-fee® System logo that are intended for the machine.
Capsules to be used!
Only use original K-fee® System capsules! Note the red K-fee® System
logo and the characteristic slotted
capsule shape.
Using non-original capsules involves the
following risks:
1. Health hazards
When using non-original capsules, differences in the brewing process and
the capsule design can cause hot water
to escape under high pressure - risk of
scalding!
2. Damage to the machine and warranty
When using non-original capsules, differences in the brewing process and the
capsule design will cause damage to the
machine which means that any warranty
claims may be forfeited!
The manufacturer and his distribution
partner cannot be held liable for any
injury or damage which is the direct
or indirect result of non-original capsules being used with this machine.
