∙ Caution: Keep any packaging materials
well away from children – these are
a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙ Every time the appliance is used, the
main body including the power cord as
well as any attachment fitted should
be checked thoroughly for any defects.
Should the appliance, for instance, have
been dropped onto a hard surface, or if
excessive force has been used to pull
the power cord, it must no longer be
used: even invisible damage may have
adverse effects on the operational safety
of the appliance.
∙ Before use, make sure that the handle
of the glass carafe is properly and
securely fitted.
∙ During operation, the coffee maker must
be placed on a level, non-slip surface,
impervious to splashes and stains.
∙ Do not leave the appliance unattended
while in use.
∙ Do not allow the appliance or its power
cord to touch hot surfaces or to come
into contact with any heat sources.
∙ To prevent the danger of hot water or
steam being emitted, always switch off
the coffee maker and allow sufficient
time for the appliance to cool down
before it is opened or any accessories or
attachments are removed.
∙ Remove the plug from the wall socket
- in case of any malfunction,
- during cleaning,
- after use.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ Do not allow the power cord to hang
free; the cord must be kept well away
from hot parts of the appliance.
∙ No responsibility will be accepted if
damage results from improper use, or if
these instructions are not complied with.

using ground coffee. This should also be
done if the appliance has not been used
for an extended period of time, and after
descaling.
