Important Safety Measures - Francis Francis X1 Trio Manual De Instrucciones

THE E.S.E. SYSTEM
The X1 espresso machine uses the EASY SERVING ESPRESSO (E.S.E.) system: for it to operate properly it is necessary to use the E.S.E.
servings, which are easily recognisable from the brand name printed on the packets, the same one that is shown on the espresso
machines. The E.S.E. system guarantees a series of benefits: the quality of the espresso coffee always remains constant,
irrespective of the consumer's skill in making it. It is easy to use and very fast, and the system is extremely easy to clean.

IMPORTANT SAFETY MEASURES

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:
- Read the instructions carefully
- Never touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs
- To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons do not immerse cord, plugs or machine in water or other liquid
- The machine must not be used by children
- Unplug from power socket:
*when the appliance is not in use
*before cleaning
*the water tank is being filled.
Before unplugging, make sure that the general switch (A) is in off position, or up.
Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance
- Do not operate any appliance that has a damaged power cord or plug or has given signs of malfunctioning, or has been damaged in any way. Return the
appliance to the nearest authorised service facility for checking or repairs
- The use of accessory attachments that are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause fires, electric shocks or injuries to people
- Do not use outdoors
- Do not leave power cord to hang over edge of table or counter
- Do not place the appliance on electric or gas burners, or in a hot oven
- Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use
- This machine is designed to "make espresso coffee" and to "heat beverages": take care not to scald yourself with jets of water or steam or from
improper use
- After removing the packaging, make sure that the machine is in good conditions. Should there be any doubt whatsoever, do not use the appliance and
contact a qualified person
- This appliance is intended for household use only. Any other use is considered improper and thereby dangerous
- The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for any damage deriving from improper, incorrect or unreasonable use
- Should there be any fault or malfunction, switch the machine off and do not tamper with it. Contact only Technical Assistance Centres that are
authorised by the manufacturer for any repairs and ask them to use original spare parts only. Failure to do so will compromise the safety of the
appliance
- Place the appliance on a work top away from water taps and basins
- Check that the electrical mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the plate. Connect the appliance only to an earthed power socket with a
minimum rating of 6A at 230 VAC and a 12A rating at 110 VAC
- The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for any accidents caused by failure to provide an earthing system or non compliance with the laws in force
- Should there be any incompatibility between the socket and the appliance plug, have the socket replaced with another of a suitable type by a qualified
person
- The machine must not be installed in an environment with a temperature lower than or equal to 0°C (if the water freezes, the appliance could get
damaged) or exceeding 40°C
- KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE
Caution: If limescale is not removed regularly - as outlined in the chapter on DESCALING - it is imperative that this is done by a service centre.
MACHINE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Before connecting the machine to the electrical mains, read the safety rules outlined in the previous chapter with care.
Make sure that switches (A), (B) and (C) are in up position, that the steam knob (I) is closed (fig.1) and that the machine is unplugged from the electrical
mains.
Insert the filter-holder (G) (fig. 2).
Remove tank (R), wash it, fill it with cold water and replace it in the machine (fig. 3); make sure that the intake pipe (Q) is immersed in the water.
Connect the machine to the power supply.
SWITCHING ON
Make sure that there is water in the tank.
Switch the machine on by flipping switch (A) downwards. Make sure that the red light (D) (fig. 4) comes on. If a repetitive acoustic signal is given every
second, flip the coffee and steam switches upwards.
When the machine is first switched on, the thermometer pointer (F) starts to go up until it reaches the steam zone and then it returns to the coffee zone.
After a few minutes, the green light (E) (fig. 5) comes on to indicate that the operating temperature has been reached and there is a short acoustic sound.
Should the lights or the rapid acoustic signal (5 impulses per second) fail to come on consult the chapter on TROUBLESHOOTING.
NOTE: If the machine is being used for the first time or if it has been inoperative for a lengthy period, flushing is recommended by running water through the
filter-holder several times (fig. 6).
