Certain groups of persons are at increased risk of injury:

• Children must not use this device. Keep the device and its power cord away from children.
• Children must not play with the device.
• Keep children away from packaging material. There is a risk of suffocation.
• The device can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge, if they are supervised or have been instructed regarding the safe use of the device and understand the resulting dangers.

Korrekter Einsatz

The device is exclusively intended for preparing espresso/coffee drinks from roasted, unground coffee beans and for dispensing hot water. Any other use is considered improper and can lead to personal injury or material damage.

The device is intended for use in households and similar areas, for example:

• in kitchens for employees in shops, offices, and other commercial areas;
• in agricultural establishments;
• by customers in hotels, motels, and other accommodation facilities;
• in boarding houses.

It is not suitable for commercial use, e.g., in large kitchens.

The device is not intended to be operated with a timer or a separate remote control system.

Misuse of the device can lead to injuries.

Strom (Power)

Since the device is operated with electrical current, there is a risk of electric shock. Strictly observe the following precautions:

• Connect the device only directly to a properly installed protective contact socket (fuse at least 10 A). Do not use extension cords or multi-way adapters.
• Operate the device only if the voltage indicated on the type plate matches your socket's voltage.
• Ensure that the power cord is not kinked or pinched and that the power cord and the device do not come into contact with heat sources (e.g., hot plates, gas flames).
• Do not pull the power cord over sharp edges.
• When unplugging the device, always pull directly on the plug. Do not carry the device by the power cord.

• Never immerse the device in water or other liquids, do not clean it under running water, and do not place it in the dishwasher.
• Never touch the power plug with wet hands.
• Do not operate the device outdoors.
• Even when the device is switched off, there is voltage inside as long as the power plug is in the socket.
• Unplug the device before removing or inserting the water tank.
• Unplug the device after each use.
• In case of danger or defect, immediately unplug the device. For this reason, ensure the socket where the device's power plug is inserted is always easily accessible.
• Unplug the device before cleaning, maintenance, disassembly, or reassembly.
• Never unscrew the device or make technical modifications.
• The device is only disconnected from the mains when the power plug is pulled out.

Verbrühungsgefahr (Scalding Hazard)

The device heats water, which can cause scalding hazards.

• Do not hold any body parts under the spout while the device is operating.
• A dirty spout can spray hot liquid or steam. Ensure the spout is clean.
• Do not open the maintenance flap during operation.
• Empty the drip tray carefully, as the water contained within can be hot.
• The device may only be used if the drip tray and the inner drip container are correctly inserted.
• Do not remove the brewing unit during or shortly after preparing a drink.
• If the water tank runs empty during drink preparation, the device will automatically continue the brewing process after refilling.

Mangelnde Hygiene (Lack of Hygiene)

Lack of hygiene can lead to germs forming in the device:

• Empty and clean the drip tray, the inner drip container, and the coffee grounds container daily.
• Clean the device regularly (see "Gerät reinigen" on page 13).
• Empty the device if you do not use it for a longer period.
• Change the water daily to prevent germ formation.

Using incorrect cleaning agents poses health risks:

• Use exclusively the cleaning agents and utensils described in this operating manual for cleaning your device.

Gefahren für das Gerät (Hazards for the Device)

Incorrect handling of the device can cause damage:

• Place the device on a dry, level, non-slip, heat-resistant surface that also does not react with the rubber feet.
• Do not place the device on a hot surface or near strong heat sources.
• Do not let the power cord hang down. This creates a tripping hazard.
• Only fill the water tank with cold, fresh tap water. Warm or hot tap water or other liquids can damage the device.
• Do not use caramelized or sugar-coated coffee beans.
• Do not use raw coffee (green, unroasted beans) or mixtures with raw coffee. These can damage the device.
• Do not put coffee powder in the bean container.
• Before storing the device, unplug it and let it cool down completely.

A defective device can lead to material damage and injuries:

• Check the device for damage before each use. If you notice any transport damage, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the device immediately.
• Never operate a defective device. Never operate a device that has been dropped.
• If the device's power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an original spare part from the manufacturer or its customer service to avoid hazards.
• The device contains no parts that you can repair yourself. Repairs must only be carried out by SEVERIN service (see "Kundendienst" on page 20).

6. Reinsert the bean container lid.
7. Connect the power cord to the power connection.
8. Plug the power plug into the socket.

9. Place a cup under the spout. Depending on the cup size, you can remove or slightly reposition the drip tray. You can also adjust the spout height by sliding it up or down by hand.

Illustration: Shows different cup sizes and how to adjust the spout height.

10. Press the On/Off button ▲ to switch on the device.
