A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may used if care is exercised in their use.
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, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
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.

be disposed of according
to the manufacturer’s instructions

Remarks on descaling
The previous section explains the correct
operations to perform to descale the
machine.

The machine you have purchased is

equipped with advanced software to
check the quantity of used water in order
to provide reliable information about the
right time to carry out descaling opera-
tions.

This software has been programmed for

standard water hardness.

In case of especially hard water (high

calcium content), descaling cycles might
have to be carried out more frequently,
even if the machine does not display
warning signals.

Even if the machine is not used often (e.g.

1 coffee per day), it is recommended to
perform descaling cycles more frequently.

In these specific cases, it is recommended

to perform descaling cycles every 1-2
months, even if the machine does not
signal it.
