Safety tip: Manual fill lock out.

[bishopthirteen]

Since reading a post by Tex at CG http://www.coffeegeek.com/forums/espresso/machines/291817 I've been eyeballing my home machine like it's a time bomb. I added this rubber plug to prevent flooding if the machine gets moved accidentally against the fridge. I never use the manual fill but cannot remove the lever or the valve pin might pop out. Thought I'd share my $.15 solution.




Any safety tips are welcome, I'm on a preventative maintenance kick . Thanks
