Safety

Espresso and coffee machines combine water, heat, pressure and mains electricity. Always switch off and unplug a machine before cleaning or inspecting it, follow the manufacturer's instructions, and observe any warranty conditions. If you are unsure, or a repair involves the electrical, pressurised or heating systems beyond routine user maintenance, consult a qualified technician. Do not attempt repairs that are beyond your competence.
