This machine may 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 in handling the machine, provided they are supervised or
have been instructed regarding the safe
operation of the machine, and understand the resulting dangers.
Cleaning or servicing the machine normally carried out by the user may not be

and the characteristic slotted capsule
shape.
Using non-genuine capsules involves the
following risks:
1. Health hazards
If you use non-genuine capsules, differences in brewing process and capsule
design, it may cause hot water to escape
under high pressure - risk of scalding
2. Damage to the machine and warranty
If you use non-genuine capsules, differences in brewing process and capsule
design, it 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 using non-genuine
