After removing the packaging check that the machine is
intact. If in doubt, do not use it and contact your
FOUNTAIN representative. (! Danger of injury)

The machine must be used exclusively for the preparation
of hot beverages with the FOUNTAIN cartridges. Using the
machine for a different purpose or with other cartridges is
considered improper use. In this case inappropriate use
excludes the manufacturer from all responsibilities for any
damage to the machine, persons or things. The drink
served by the machine is very hot and therefore should be
used only by adults. This appliance is not intended for u se
by persons (including children)with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.

Keep the mains cord out of the reach of children. Do not let
the mains cord hang over the edge of the table or worktop
on which the appliance stands.
Keep the cord, the base and the machine away from hot
surfaces.

Always place the base and the machine on a dry, flat and
stable surface.(danger of tipping)

Before inserting the plug in the power socket make sure
that the machine’s operating voltage corresponds with that
of the power supply. Never insert foreign objects or hands
in the openings of the machine when it is connected to the
power or when in use. (danger of electrocution).
Never use the machine with wet hands. (danger of
electrocution).
Never top up the water tank when the machine is
connected to the power supply. (danger of electrocution).
Never clean or wash the machine when the machine is
connected to the power supply. (danger of electrocution).
Never clean or wash the machine with solvents. We
recommend warm water.
Never immerge the machine in water or other liquids. Do
not use a water jet to clean the machine.
Avoid installing the machine in places where water jets are
used for cleaning
Do not use the machine outside the home or office and
never expose it to the weather (sun, rain, …).
The machine is not suited for outdoor use

Do not use the appliance if the mains cord, the plug, the
base or the appliance itself is damaged.
If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it replaced by
Fountain; a service centre authorised by Fountain or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
The machine is only intended for heating water. Do not use it
to heat up soup or other liquids or jarred, bottled or tinned
food.
Hot water can cause serious burns. Be careful when the
machine contains hot water.
Never fill the machine beyond the maximum level indication.
If the machine has been overfilled, boiling water may be
ejected from the inlet and cause scalding.
Be careful when you open the lid: the steam that comes out
of the machine is very hot.
Always make sure the water in the machine at least covers
the bottom of the machine to prevent the machine from
boiling dry.
Depending on the hardness of the water in your area, small
spots may appear on the heating element of your machine
when you use it.

This phenomenon is the result of scale build-up on the
heating element and on the inside of the machine over time.
The harder the water, the faster scale builds up. Scale can
occur in different colours.
Although scale is harmless, too much scale can influence
the performance of your machine. Descale your machine
regularly by following the instructions given in chapter
‘Descaling’.
