remaining in the reservoir, namely if you have made a short espresso called "Ristretto".
If you burn yourself, immediately pour cold water on the burnt area and call a doctor if necessary.
Inspect the machine carefully before use and make sure that there is no crack, no deep scratch nor any
other damage preventing it from being in working order.
Do not use your machine if the cigarette lighter plug, the power cord or any other part of the machine
seems damaged.
After each heating cycle, the pressure has to be eliminated by pressing the Espresso button, even if the
brewing has not taken place.
Do not use the machine for any other purpose than what it is intended for. Handpresso cannot accept
responsibility or liability in case of incorrect use or of application the machine is not intended for.
During usage, put the machine on a flat and dry surface, not subject to vibrations.
Beware of coffee projections and beware of the direction of the nozzle during use.
Handpresso AUTO works only with a connection like the cigarette lighter socket powered with 12V DC
(direct current). Please check that the tension available in your vehicle is really 12V.
Only use espresso pods or E.S.E. compatible. Only pour water in the reservoir, except white vinegar for
descaling.
The machine should be used between 5°C and 50°C (41°F and 122°F), and under normal atmospheric
pressure conditions (from 0 to 3000 m altitude).
Handpresso AUTO's electricity consumption is pretty large. We strongly recommend that you always use
the machine when the engine is turned on. Handpresso Auto is fitted with a safety system protecting your
battery if the voltage is insufficient. If your battery is low, it will only work if the engine of your vehicle is
turned on.
The machine stops automatically if the voltage provided by the battery is below 9.5V.
The machine is not suited for any professional use whatsoever. Maximum 10 espressos in a row. In case of
intensive use, a 1 hour-break is absolutely necessary after 10 espressos.
Descale your Handpresso AUTO regularly. Our warranty does not cover machines which do not work or do
not work properly due to a lack of descaling.
Apart from the replacement of the fuse, DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR THE MACHINE OR REPLACE PARTS
YOURSELF: contact an authorized retailer for this type of repair. DISMANTLING THE MACHINE CAN BE
DANGEROUS AND CANCELS THE WARRANTY.
