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.
