INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new coffee
maker, please read through these
instructions carefully before using it for the
first time. Pay particular attention to the
safety measures. We also recommend that
you keep the instructions for future
reference, so that you can remind yourself of
the functions of the coffee maker.

Cord, plug and mains socket
• Check regularly that the cord is not
