Important Safeguards IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS These safeguards apply for machines with UL safety test (see rating plate and chapter 10, ‘Technical data’). Follow the basic safety precautions When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following: Z Read all instructions. Z Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
Important Safeguards Special cord set instructions a. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Your IMPRESSA has a 3-pin grounded plug. b. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. c. If an extension cord is used, 1. the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and 2.
Important Safeguards Z Z NEVER DO (or you will void your warranty protection): Z Z Z Z 6 Keep your hands and the cord away from hot parts of the appliance during operation. Never clean with scouring powders or hard implements. Never fill instant coffee, chocolate mix etc. into the grinder or ground coffee funnel (grinder by-pass). It will damage the functioning of the brewing chamber. Never fill sugar coated coffee beans into the bean hopper. In case of doubt, call your dealer.
