3 INSTALLATION
• After unpacking, make sure the appliance is
complete and undamaged. If in doubt, do not
use it. Contact professionally qualified person-

they may represent a hazard.
• Place the appliance on a work surface far
away from water taps, basins and sources of

faces of the appliance and the side and rear
walls and a free space of at least 8 in (20
cm) above the coffee maker.
• Never install the machine in environments
where the temperature may reach 0°C or
