must be kept well away from children
under 8 at all times.
∙ Caution: Keep any packaging materials
well away from children – these are
a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙ Before the appliance is used, the main
body including the power cord as well as
any attachment fi tted should be checked
thoroughly for any defects. Should the
appliance, for instance, have been
dropped onto a hard surface, it must
not be used any longer: even invisible
damage may have adverse effects on the
operational safety of the appliance.
∙ The power cord should be regularly
examined for any signs of damage. In the
event of such damage being found, the
appliance must no longer be used.
∙ Do not operate the appliance if excessive
force has been used to pull the power
cord. Damage cannot always be detected
from the outside; the entire unit should
therefore be checked by a qualifi ed
technician before it is used again.
∙ Before use, make sure that the handle of
the glass carafe is properly and securely
fi tted. If necessary, the metal ring may be
tightened by means of the screw in the
handle.

be placed on a level, non-slip surface,
impervious to splashes and stains.
∙ Do not allow the appliance or its power
cord to touch hot surfaces or to come into
contact with any heat sources.
∙ Caution: the hot-plate becomes very hot
during operation.
∙ To prevent the danger of hot water or
steam being emitted, always switch off
the coffee maker and allow suffi cient
time for the appliance to cool down
before it is opened or any accessories or
attachments are removed.
∙ Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
∙ Remove the plug from the wall socket
- in case of any malfunction,
- during cleaning,
- if the appliance is not being used for an
extended period of time.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ Do not allow the power cord to hang free;
the cord must be kept well away from hot
parts of the appliance.
∙ No responsibility will be accepted if
damage results from improper use, or if
these instructions are not complied with.
