Electrical connection
87
All electrical work should be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person only, in strict accordance with
current national and local safety
regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).
Installation, repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for unauthorised work.
Before connecting the machine make
sure that the voltage and frequency
quoted on the data plate are
compatible with your household
electrical supply. Please consult a
qualified electrician if you are in any
doubt.
The required connection data is quoted
on the data plate. This can be seen on
the left-hand side when the drip tray is
pulled out.
The machine is supplied with a mains
cable with moulded plug for connection
to a 50 Hz 220–240 V supply.
The coffee machine must be connected
to the mains supply via a fused plug
and suitable switched socket.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE EARTHED.
The fuse rating must be at least 10 A.
The socket should be next to the
appliance and easily accessible. If the
socket is not accessible an additional
means of disconnection must be
provided for all poles.
Do not connect the machine to the
mains electricity supply by a multi-
socket adapter or an extension lead.
These are a fire hazard and do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance.
Do not connect the machine to an
inverter such as those used with an
autonomous energy source e.g. solar
power. When switched on, peak loads
in the system can cause the safety
switch off mechanism to be triggered.
This can damage the electronic unit.
The coffee machine must not be used
with so-called energy saving devices
either. These reduce the amount of
energy supplied to the machine causing
it to overheat.
If the connection cable is faulty, it may
only be replaced by a qualified
electrician in order to avoid a hazard.
