ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (U.K. ONLY)

A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should
be cut off from the mains lead, and on appropriate plug fitted, as below. warning: Very carefully dispose of the cut off
plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. If the plug is a moulded-
on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the
event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nea-
rest electrical dealer. The colour of the cor rect replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.
B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instructins provided below:

Remove the rubber mixer, especially wash and clean
with warm water the holes shown in fig. 14 (clean
them using a needle). Check that the hole marked
with the arrow B is not blocked (fig. 14). Once they
have been cleaned, all the pieces must be reas-

mixer is firmly pushed down and the red emulsifier
is pushed till you hear clic. If the appliance is not
cleaned this way every time it is used the milk may
fail to froth properly or may fail to be sucked up,
or it may drip from the milk tank pipe.
Other Cleaning
• The jug, filter holder and filter should be cleaned
regularly, too.
• Neither solvents nor abrasive detergents must be
used for the cleaning of the machine's plastic
components. A damp cloth is sufficient.
• The machine must NEVER be immersed in water.
