. To avoid electrical shocks, do not immerse the cord, plug or any

other non-removable part in water or other liquid.

. Never direct steam or hot water spray toward the body: danger

of burns.

. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near

children.

. Unplug the appliance when not in use and before cleaning. let it

.cool before putting on or removing parts and before cleaning.

. Do not use outdoors.
. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of the table or

counter, or touch hot surfaces.

. The main plug must be pulled out if anything unusual occurs

during the brewing process, and always be sure to unplug the
machine before any cleaning operation.

. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in an

oven.

. Make sure the appliance is OFFbefore unplugging or plugging it

back in.

. Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use.
. Do not pour liquids other than water and descaling solutions

specified in this manual into the water tank.

. Do not lift and/or move entire unit when the machine is in use.
. Do not get too close to the water tank during the brewing cycle:

it may be hot because of the steam.

. Toreduce the riskof fire or electric shock. do not dismantle the

appliance. There are no parts which can be repaired by the user.
All repairs must be made only by an authorized KRUPSService

Center.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CORD

. Connect the appliance only to a grounded electrical outlet.

. Check that the voltage of your appliance is the same as the vol-

tage supplied to your outlet. Any error in connecting the
appliance invalidates the warranty.

. The length of the cord was selected to reduce the chances of

accident.

. Extension cords may be used but with caution. If using an exten-

sion cord, its electrical capacity must equal or be greater than
that of the appliance. Ifthe appliance is a grounded model, the
extension must have three conductors, one of which is grounded.
The cord with its extension should be placed out of the reach of
children and in such a way that it cannot be tripped over.

. The appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the

other). As a safety measure, this plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet
properly, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact an
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

. If the cord is damaged, do not use your appliance. In order to

avoid any accident, have it replaced at an authorized KRUPS

Service Center.
