Starting up

When you have completed these steps, the appliance is ready for operation. You
can now prepare coffee.
We recommend pouring away the fi rst two cups of coffee after the fi rst start
up.
4.1
Placement
•
Place the appliance on a stable, level, and dry surface. Make sure that
there is a distance of about 10 cm to the wall and other surrounding
objects.
Caution!
Never place the appliance on hot surfaces or in damp areas.
–
Do not transport or store the appliance in vehicles or rooms at low
–
temperatures, as the remaining water could freeze or condense and
thereby damage the appliance. Follow the instructions on page 76.
•
The coffee grounds container is located in the drip tray. Please make
sure that the drip tray is pushed into the appliance all the way to the
stop.
Notes
–
Keep the packaging material, including hard foam elements, in order to
avoid damage during transport or in case of return shipments.
–
It is normal to fi nd traces of coffee and water in the machine before it is
started up for the fi rst time. This is because the appliance has already
been tested for faultless function at the factory.
