Please read the instructions before using the machine, Handpresso would decline all responsibility in case of
incorrect use.
HANDCOFFEE AUTO SHALL NEVER BE USED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING.
Store Handcoffee Auto systematically after use to avoid injuries in case of collision.
To be used, Handcoffee Auto requires the user's full attention. Handcoffee Auto is a coffee machine that
raises water to a temperature close to 100°C. TO AVOID RISKS OF BURNING, HANDLE WITH CARE.
Prepare it beforehand, or park in a safe spot for you and the other road-users. Handpresso would decline all
responsibility for any road accident.
Keep away from children & uninstructed persons. Avoid leaving the machine unwatched.
For your own safety and that of the people around you, do not plunge the cigarette lighter plug, the power
cord nor any other part of the machine into water or any other liquid. Do not use the machine if it has ac-
cidentally been in contact, even partially, with a liquid.

tors,
step 6
in the instructions!
Do not try to remove the portafilter during usage.
After having made your coffee, while removing the portafilter, beware not to spill hot water possibly remain-
ing in the reservoir.
If you burn yourself, immediately pour cold water on the burnt area and call a doctor if necessary.
Inspect the machine carefully before use and make sure that there is no crack, no deep scratch nor any other
damage preventing it from being in working order.
Do not use your machine if the cigarette lighter plug, the power cord or any other part of the machine seems
damaged.
Do not use the machine for any other purpose than what it is intended for. Handpresso cannot accept
responsibility or liability in case of incorrect use or of application the machine is not intended for.
During usage, put the machine on a flat and dry surface, not subject to vibrations.
Beware of coffee projections and beware of the direction of the nozzle during use.
Handcoffee Auto works only with a connection like the cigarette lighter socket powered with 12V DC (direct
current). Please check that the tension available in your vehicle is really 12V. This machine is not suitable for
a 24V supply.
Only use soft coffee pads. Only pour water in the reservoir, except white vinegar for descaling.
The machine should be used between 5°C and 50°C (41°F and 122°F), and under normal atmospheric pressure
conditions (from 0 to 3000 m altitude).
Handcoffee Auto's electricity consumption is pretty large. We strongly recommend that you always use the
machine when the engine is turned on. Handcoffee Auto is fitted with a safety system protecting your bat-
tery if the voltage is insufficient. If your battery is low, it will only work if the engine of your vehicle is turned
on.
The machine stops automatically if the voltage provided by the battery is below 9.5V.
The machine is not suited for any professional use whatsoever. Maximum 10 coffees in a row. In case of
intensive use, a 1 hour-break is absolutely necessary after 10 coffees.
Descale your Handcoffee Auto regularly. Our warranty does not cover machines which do not work or do not
work properly due to a lack of descaling.
Apart from the replacement of the fuse, DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR THE MACHINE OR REPLACE PARTS YOUR-
SELF: contact an authorized retailer for this type of repair. DISMANTLING THE MACHINE CAN BE DANGER-
OUS AND CANCELS THE WARRANTY.
