will get very hot during operation and hot steam and hot water may
escape. Additionally, the appliance is under high pressure, during ope-

damage.
• The appliance generates steam under high pressure – risk of burns! Do
not hold your hands and arms under or near the group head or hot
water / steam wand during operation and thereafter.
• Only touch hot parts (e.g. portafilter, hot water / steam wand) at the
dedicated handles during operation and shortly thereafter to avoid
scalds. Even after operation these parts may be still hot.
• Hot water and hot steam can escape from the group head, portafilter,
and hot water / steam wand. Do not hold your hands and arms or any
delicate objects under or near these parts, while the appliance is still
hot. Always ensure that the hot water / steam wand points to the drip
tray, when not in use.Before starting a brewing cycle, always ensure
