• Before connecting the appliance, check that the voltage values marked on the
nameplate are the same as those of the electrical mains, and that the power socket is
properly earthed. If the appliance's plug is not compatible with the socket, have the
socket replaced with another of suitable type by qualified staff, who must ensure that
the socket's wire gauge is suitable for the appliance's power draw. Check that there
are no other appliances drawing large amounts of power on the electrical line, to
avoid overloads and fire risks. In general, the use of adapters and/or extension leads
is not recommended; if their use is unavoidable, they must comply with current safety
regulations and their current rating (amps) must be no lower than the maximum
current draw of the appliance.
• Before each use, check that the appliance is in good condition and ensure that the
power cord is not damaged and do not switch it on unless certain it is intact: if in
doubt, call in qualified staff.
• The power socket must be accessible so that the plug can be removed easily in an
emergency.
• The appliance must not be placed just below a power socket.
• Take care to keep the appliance well away from the edge of the worktop and out of
reach of children.
• Place the appliance:
- well away from other heat sources (e.g. ovens, hobs, etc.), flammable materials
(plastic bags, curtains, etc.), explosive materials (spray cans) and materials which
may warp in heat; check that there is an empty space of at least 40 cm around the
appliance.
- on a firm, horizontal, dry surface which does not have a delicate finish (e.g.
lacquered kitchen units, tablecloths, etc.), in a position where it cannot be knocked,
and far enough from the edge of the unit to ensure that it cannot fall off.
- well away from containers holding liquids, such as sinks, etc. If it is accidentally wet
or immersed in a liquid, first disconnect the power supply by turning off the control
panel switch, and only then remove the plug from the power socket. Dry both the
plug and the power socket carefully before reactivating the power socket.
Reconnect the plug to the power socket and then use the appliance. If in doubt, call
in qualified staff.
• Make sure that the cable is correctly positioned and is not in contact with hot parts or
sharp edges, or wound around the appliance or twisted, and does not become
entangled, to prevent the appliance from falling.
• In case of a fault or malfunction, switch the appliance off and have it checked by
qualified staff; repairs by unqualified staff may be dangerous and lead to the loss of
warranty cover.
USE
The appliance has the following regulator devices and functions:
- Base with 360° connector (1) with safety sensor and drain hole.
- 0/I switch with lighted key (2): if in the "I" position, the coffee maker is
turned on (the button light turns on), the coffee starts to flow after a few
minutes. When brewing has finished, stir the coffee with a small spoon
before serving it so that the body is more uniform.
