4 Starting up

When starting the appliance for the rst time, please execute the following tasks.

When you have executed these tasks the appliance is ready for operation. Thereafter

you can prepare coffee. We recommend pouring the rst two cups of

coffee after rst start up down the drain.

Setting up

Place the appliance on a stable, level, and dry surface. Ensure that there is

a distance of 10 cm to the wall and to other objects.

The LATTEA has two rollers on the rear edge of the appliance. Lift the

appliance slightly from the front; the rollers allow easy movement.

Caution!

Never place the appliance on hot surfaces or in wet areas.

Do not transport or store the appliance in cold vehicles or rooms with

low temperature because the residual moisture could freeze and damage

the appliance. Follow the instructions on page 66.

The coffee grounds container is located in the drip tray. Please ensure that

the drip tray is pushed into the appliance all the way to the stop.

Notes

Keep the packaging material, including the hard foam material, on hand

for transport and possible return shipments, to avoid transport dama-

ge.

It is normal to nd traces of coffee and water in the machine before it is

started up for the rst time. This is because the appliance was tested for

faultless function in the factory.
