User manual GAGGIA BONITA

[. . . ] Let the appliance cool completely before attaching or detaching components and before cleaning it. Never use the appliance if the power cord or plug is damaged or if the appliance has shown any signs of malfunction or damage. Take the device to the nearest authorized service center for all inspections, adjustments or repairs. [. . . ] The appliance has a short power cord in order to reduce the risks of it getting tangled or tripping someone. The power rating of any extension cord used must be at least equal to that of the appliance. The extension cord must be routed so that it does not hang from the counter and does not cause a risk of people tripping over it. WARNING: the appliance is grounded; the extension cord must also have a ground wire (third wire). For any problems associated with the plug, consult a qualified electrician. Place the base on a flat and heat resistant surface near an electrical outlet and out of reach of children. FIRST OPERATION Before using the Mocha Maker for the first time, or if it's been out of use for a long time, fill it to the "6" mark and run it without using coffee. Before using the coffee maker for the first time, thoroughly wash all components (see the following cleaning and maintenance instructions). To make 3 cups of coffee, unscrew the upper recipient, remove the 3-cup filter adapter and the 6-cup filter basket from the lower recipient, then fill the lower recipient to the 3-cup mark. Replace the 3-cup filter adaptor and the 6-cup filter basket and fill the 3-cup filter with coffee. To make 6 cups of coffee, follow the above procedure but fill the lower recipient to the 6-cup mark and fill only the 6-cup filter with coffee (the 3-cup filter must be removed). Screw together tightly the upper and lower recipients, place the coffee maker on the base and insert the plug into the electrical outlet. Unplug the base from the electrical outlet, pour the coffee and serve. Never immerse the lower part of the Moka and the base in water or other liquids. When storing the coffee maker, remove the gasket and leave the upper and lower recipients only loosely screwed together. To minimize disorder, unroll only enough to safely reach the electrical outlet, leaving the rest coiled in the base. [. . . ] After decalcifying, before using the coffee maker again, perform the normal coffee brewing cycle with clean, cold water. Before cleaning the coffee maker, always remove it from the base and disconnect the plug. Open the cover and with a soft cloth clean the upper recipient, the stainless steel tube and the cover under running water or in lukewarm soapy water. [. . . ]
