The machine is designed and manufac-
tured for domestic use. The manufacturer

Safety instructions
(continued)
This machine is intended for use in
households and similar areas, such as
staff rooms in offices and shops, as well
as other work work-related facilities;
also in farms, for use by guests in hotels,
motels and bed & breakfast establish-
ments. The machine may only be used
for its intended purpose.
In case of long periods of absence, vaca-
tion etc., the machine must be emptied,
cleaned and the mains plug must be re-
moved from the socket.
When there is risk of frost, all residual
water must be removed, see the section
on "Evaporating remaining water" on
page 34.
The mains voltage must match the spec-
ifications on the nameplate. Only con-
nect the machine to a grounded 3-pin
wall socket. In the case of an incorrect
connection your warranty rights may be
forfeited.
Do not damage the mains cord by plac-
ing it on or near hot objects or over
sharp edges. Do not allow the mains cord
to hang down (risk of tripping). Do not
touch the mains cord with wet hands.
Do not pull the plug from the socket by
pulling on the cable. If the mains cord
shows signs of damage, do not start the
machine.
When the mains cable of the machine
is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, the respective customer
service or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid any hazards.
Do not place the machine on a hot sur-
face (e.g. cooker) or operate it next to
heat sources or fires. Do not place the
appliance on its mains cable. Always
place the machine on a stable, flat and

Safety instructions
(continued) How to avoid injuries and scalds when
using the machine.
Do not leave the machine unattended
during beverage preparation.
This machine can be used by children
from the age of 8 years and older and by
persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental abilities or who lack experi-
ence and knowledge provided they are
supervised or have been instructed re-
garding the safe operation of the ma-
chine, and understand the resulting dan-
gers.
Cleaning or servicing of the machine
that is normally carried out by the user
must not be carried out by children un-
less they are 8 years old or older and act
under supervision.
The machine and its connection cable
must be kept out of the reach of children
younger than 8 years. Children must not
play with the machine.
Never open the lever on the machine
during the brewing, rinsing, cleaning or
descaling processes. Do not hold your
fingers under the dispensing spout after
completing a process and when opening
the lever. There is a risk of scalding due
to residual liquid discharging! When the
brewing process has been completed,
slowly open the lever in order to eject
the capsule; do not bend over the cap-
sule insertion opening (risk of hot liquid
sprays).
Never reach with your fingers into the
capsule insertion opening - risk of in-
jury!
Do not touch the milk foaming unit
when it is in operation - risk of burning
injuries!
Do not hold your fingers under the milk
discharge spout. Risk of scalding from
hot milk froth, steam jet or residual liq-
uid discharge!

Safety instructions
(continued)
The milk foaming unit must never be
blocked with dried milk residue; after
any dismantling reassemble carefully
ensuring all parts are fitted correctly to
the steam outlet. Any unsecured parts
may dislodge during operation and cause
injury.
Do not use the machine without drip
tray and drip grating! Do not overfill the
water tank. Never lift the machine by its
lever.
Store the machine and all its accessories
outside the reach of children.
Never open the machine or insert ob-
jects into the machine openings.
In order to avoid any hazards, any work
beyond the normal use of the machine,
its cleaning, descaling and maintenance,
such as repairs or replacing the mains
cable may only be carried out by a cus-
tomer service authorised by the manu-
facturer.
Before cleaning the exterior of the ma-
chine, unplug the mains cord and allow
the machine to cool down.
The machine and mains cable and con-
nector must not be cleaned wet or im-
mersed in liquids.
Do not clean the machine under running
water. Never put the machine or its parts
into a dishwasher.
Refer to the instructions for use of all
cleaning and descaling agents before
use and comply with the safety regula-
tions.

Safety instructions
(continued) Never use a damaged or deformed cap-
sule. Only use drink capsules marked
with the K-fee® System logo that are in-
tended for the machine.
Capsules to be used!
Only use original K-fee® System cap-
sules! Note the red K-fee® System
logo and the characteristic slotted
capsule shape.
Using non-original capsules involves the
following risks:
1. Health hazards
When using non-original capsules, dif-
ferences in the brewing process and
the capsule design can cause hot water
to escape under high pressure - risk of
scalding!
2. Damage to the machine and war-
ranty
When using non-original capsules, dif-
ferences in the brewing process and the
capsule design will cause damage to the
machine which means that any warranty
claims may be forfeited!
The manufacturer and his distribution
partner cannot be held liable for any
injury or damage which is the direct
or indirect result of non-original cap-
sules being used with this machine.
