WARNING:

BUILT-IN INSTALLATION

Make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate on the

underside of the machine corresponds to the domestic power supply voltage.

Connect the machine to a professionally installed power socket having a current rating of at least 10A and an efﬁcient earth connection. If the appliance plug and socket are incompatible, have an electrician replace the socket with one of a suitable type. Observance of safety directives requires that a multi pole switch with a minimum contact gap of 3mm be used for the installation. Do not use multiple plug adapters or extension cords.

WARNING:

If the power cable or plug are damaged, to avoid any risk have them replaced only by the After-Sales Service.

The mains power supply must have electrical disconnect devices in

compliance with national installation standards.

damage the machine.

The drip tray has a water level indicator in the form of a red ﬂoat (Figure 27). Empty and clean the drip tray before the red ﬂoat protrudes from the cup tray. To remove the drip tray:

1. Open the service door (Figure 16).

2. Remove the drip tray and the coffee grounds container (Figure 17).

3. Clean the drip tray and the grounds container (A4).

4. Fit the drip tray and the coffee grounds container back in place (A4).

5. Close the service door.

Cleaning the water tank

1. Clean the water tank (A12) regularly (about once a month) with a damp cloth and a little mild

detergent.

2. Take care to remove all traces of detergent.

Cleaning the spouts
