IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions carefully.
In case of emergency, immediately remove plug from power outlet.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use levers or knobs.
To protect against fi re, electric shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in water or other liquid. Never clean the appliance or the power cord if those are humid. Avoid touching the machine with wet hands.
Close supervision is required when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug appliance from outlet if leaving for an extended period of time (vacation, etc).
Allow to cool before adding or removing parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer
may result in fi re, electric shock or personal injury.
Always attach plug to appliance fi rst, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn off appliance, then remove plug from wall outlet.
Do not use appliance for other than intended purposes.
Do not put fi ngers inside capsule housing, due to sharp edges.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS

Regarding your power cord:

a) A short power cord (and detachable power cord) is ovided to reduce risks that may result from longer and tangled cords.
b) Longer detachable power cords or extension cords are available and may be used if proper care is used.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used (1) the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) If the appliance is of the grounded type 3-wire cord (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

CAUTION

Household use only. Do not use outdoors. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, any servicing other than cleaning and user maintenance should be performed by an authorized service representative. Under no circumstances should you open the machine yourself.

Check voltage to be sure that the voltage indicated on the name plate corresponds with your voltage.
Never use warm or hot water to fi ll the water container. Use cold water only!
Keep your hands and the cord away from hot parts of the appliance during operation.
Never clean with scouring powders or sharp tools.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these instructions carefully before using your Nespresso machine.

Do not plug the machine into anything other than a grounded electrical socket. Verify that the voltage indicated on the technical specifications plate on the bottom of the unit corresponds to your electrical installation. The use of incorrect connection voids warranty.
Do not place your Nespresso machine on a hot surface (electrical heating plate for example) or near a flame.
Do not lift the closing lever while the machine is functioning since coff ee is extracted under high pressure.
Do not use the machine without the drip tray and drip grid in place.
Ensure that the electrical cord does not hang over edge of table or counter. Do not disconnect the electrical plug by pulling on the cord.
Avoid touching the electrical cord as well as any other part which may become hot during the use of the machine.
For descaling, adhere to the directions which follow:
a) Preparation: please read carefully the safety instructions on the descaling packaging.
c) Descaling: do not open the closing handle during the descaling process.
d) Rinse: rinse the water tank and clean the machine to avoid any residual descaling agent.
