Read these instructions before using your Espresso Maker and keep them in a
safe place for future reference. If you pass the Espresso Maker on to anyone
else, pass on the instructions too. Remove all packaging, but keep it until
you’re satisfied that the Espresso Maker is working.
Important safeguards
When using electrical appliances, follow basic safety precautions, including:
1.Take care — the espresso maker uses steam under pressure.
2.Don’t try to remove the pressure cap while the espresso maker is
working.
3.Release all pressure after use and before trying to remove the
pressure cap.
4.The espresso maker must always be supervised while switched on.
5.The espresso maker must be used only by a responsible adult.
6.Don’t put it in water, don’t use it in a bathroom or near any
source of water, and don’t use it outdoors.
7.Don’t touch hot surfaces (carafe, filter holder or steam pipe),
use handles/knobs.
8.Take care to avoid contact with steam when using the milk frother.
9.Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not more than one carafe-full.

couple of minutes, then release the pressure before removing the pressure
cap (“Releasing steam” on page 6).

stop it for any reason, turn off the heating, unplug it, let it cool down,
then release the pressure (“Releasing steam” on page 6).
16.Position the espresso on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface, close to a
power socket and out of reach of children.
17.Route the mains lead so that it doesn’t overhang and can’t be caught
accidentally.
18.Keep the espresso maker and the mains lead away from hot surfaces,
hotplates, hot hobs and burners.

plug is damaged. There are no user-serviceable parts. If the mains lead is
damaged, the coffee maker must be returned in order to avoid hazard.
