SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never allow water to come into contact with any of the electrical parts of the ma­chine: danger of short circuit! Hot water and steam may cause scalding!
Intended Use
The machine is intended to be used in small of­ ces/organisations only. The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, mental or sensory abilities or with scarce expe­rience and/or expertise, unless they are super­vised by a person responsible for their safety, or they are instructed by this person on how to properly use the machine.
Power Supply
The machine must be connected to the power supply by the service provider, in accordance with its speci cations.
Power Cord
Never use the machine if the power cord is de­fective. Report any defects in the cord and/or plug to the service provider immediately. Do not pass the power cord around corners, over sharp edges or over hot objects and keep it away from oil. Do not use the power cord to carry or pull the machine. Do not pull out the plug by the power cord or touch it with wet hands
or feet. Do not let the power cord hang freely from tables or shelves.
For the Safety of Others
Ensure that children cannot play with the ma­chine and/or the packaging materials. Never direct the jet of hot water and/or steam to­wards yourself or others. Do not touch the hot water wand with bare hands. Always use the handles or knobs provided.
Danger of Burns
Do not touch the hot water wand and/or the co ee/beverage dispensing spout.
Fire Safety Precautions
In case of  re, use carbon dioxide (CO2) extin­guishers. Do not use water or dry powder ex­tinguishers.
Suitable Location for Operation and Maintenance
The machine should be installed by the service provider in accordance with the safety regula­tions in force at the time of installation. The machine may only be moved by the service provider. Do not use the machine outdoors. Avoid placing open  ames and/or incandes­cent objects near the machine so as not to damage or melt the machine housing. Do not use in places where the temperature may drop to a level equal to and/or lower than 0°C. If the machine has been exposed to such conditions
Page 5
• 5 •
alert the service provider, who will carry out a safety check.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the machine, the power button must be switched to OFF (0) and the plug must be removed from the power socket. Wait for the machine to cool down. Never immerse the ma­chine in water! It is strictly forbidden to tamper with the internal parts of the machine. Do not clean the machine using a jet of water. The appliance and its components must be cleaned and washed following a period of in­activity.
Using Milk (where available)
Milk must be used and stored in accordance with the instructions given on the manufac­turer's original packaging. We accept no liability for use of milk unsuitable for human consumption. Milk must be kept cold, as high temperatures will make it turn sour - this is a natural char­acteristic of milk. For this reason, the Cappuc­cinatore must be cleaned after each use, as described in the manual. For thorough cleaning, the Cappuccinatore can be detached and disassembled, and its parts can be put into a dishwasher (not of profes­sional type). Washing component parts in the dishwasher may cause Cappuccinatore surfaces to tarnish or the graphics to fade, especially if harsh de­tergents are used. This circumstance is normal and does not af-
fect the correct operation of the milk brewing system.
Storing the Machine
If the machine is to remain inactive for a long time, turn it o and unplug it. Store the ma­chine in a dry place, out of the reach of chil­dren. Keep it protected from dust and dirt.
Repairs / Maintenance
In case of breakdown, defect or a suspected fault resulting from a fall, immediately remove the plug from the power socket and alert the service provider or specialised technician. Never attempt to operate the machine if it is faulty. Only the service provider and/or techni­cian may service or repair the machine.

6.1 Cleaning the Pannarello
Warning. Before performing this operation, make sure that the wand is cold: Danger of burns!
Daily cleaning
It is important that you clean the Pannarello daily or after each use as it preserves hygiene and ensures perfect milk froth consist­ency.
After frothing the milk, a small quantity of hot water must be dispensed into a container.
Remove the external part of the Pannarello and wash it with luke­warm water.
Weekly Cleaning
The weekly cleaning is more thorough, since you need to disas­semble all the Pannarello components.
The following cleaning operations are required:
1
Remove the external part of the Pannarello. Wash it with
lukewarm water.
2
Remove the upper part of the Pannarello from the steam/
hot water wand.
6 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
As some of the parts of the appliance come in contact with water and co ee during normal use, it is important to clean the appli­ance regularly.
Neglecting to regularly clean the appliance will ultimately cause it to stop working properly, and in this case repair is not covered under warranty.
Warning. Before undertaking any maintenance and/or cleaning operation, turn o the machine,
unplug it and wait for it to cool down.
Non-removable parts and the machine itself must be cleaned, when not otherwise speci ed, using only cold or lukewarm water, with a non-abrasive sponge and a damp cloth.
• Cleaning can only be carried out when the machine is cold and unplugged.
• Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the machine.
• Do not use direct jets of water.
• Do not immerse the machine in water or place any of its parts in a dishwasher.
• Do not use sharp objects or harsh chemical products (sol­vents) for cleaning.
• Do not dry the machine and/or its parts using a microwave and/or standard oven.
• All parts requiring cleaning are easily accessible, so no tools are needed.
