Safety recommendations
• Please read these instructions carefully
before first using your espresso. The
appliance must only be connected to the
mains via an earthed plug. Check that the
voltage shown on the appliance’s indicator
plate corresponds to that of your electricity
system.
It complies with the requirements of the EEC
Directive (89/336/EEC) and (72/23/EEC).
• Never put your espresso on a hot surface
(electric warming plate, for example) or close
to a flame. Place on a flat, stable heat-
resistant surface.
• Never remove the filter holder containing
the coffee grounds while water is being
passed through, since the appliance is under
pressure at this time.
• Never use the appliance if the drip plate and
the grid are not in position.
• Disconnect the electricity if there is any
problem while the coffee is brewing or prior
to cleaning your appliance.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on
the cord and never lay the cord across a
sharp edge or the corner of an item of
furniture.
• Do not allow the cable or your hands to
come into contact with the hot parts of the
appliance (cup warming plate, filter holder,
steam nozzle, cappucino accessory).
• Never immerse the appliance in water.
• Keep away from children and do not allow
the cord to hang down.
• Follow the instructions given for descaling.
• Never start the machine if it is damaged or if
the cord is in poor condition.
• If the cord or any other specific part
becomes defective, these can only be
replaced by a Krups approved service centre.
You must never, under any circumstances,
open the appliance yourself, in order to
avoid any danger.
• Check that the filter holder is firmly in
position before starting the coffee and reset
the selector to O before releasing the filter
holder.
• Do not leave the appliance in the reach of
unsupervised children - young children and
severely handicapped persons must only use
the appliance under the supervision of a
responsible adult.
• This product has been designed for domestic
use only. Any commercial use, inappropriate
use or failure to comply with the instruc-
tions, the manufacturer accepts no
responsibility and the guarantee will not
apply.
Espresso coffee
Espresso coffee is richer in aroma and stronger
than normal coffee. It is drunk from small pre-
heated espresso cups. Hot water is passed
through the ground coffee to obtain this
delicious black coffee.
