9. Cleaning
ATTENTION:
•
maintenance and cleaning can only be carried out when the machine is cold and
disconnected from the mains;
•
do not immerse the machine in water;
•
do not use sharp objects or harsh chemicals (solvents) for cleaning;
•
do not dry the machine and/or its components using a microwave and/or con-
ventional oven;
•
use a soft cloth dampened with water to clean the appliance.
To clean the pod holder (see fig. 5-A) in necessary to lift the lever and lift the steel shower
filter from the plastic seat. Wash the seat and the shower filter with a sponge and reassem-
ble the pod holder by joining the steel part with the plastic one.
Empty and wash the collection tray on a daily basis (see fig. 5-A).
Each time a new pod is inserted, check correct insertion of the same in place: incorrect
insertion could result in damage to the kinematics of the extraction chamber.
10. Decalcification
To avoid the formation of limescale (cause of pump breakage, pipe obstruction, etc.) it is
advisable to perform a descaling treatment every 3 – 4 months.
To perform this operation yourself, it is possible to use a non-toxic and/or non-harmful
decalcifying product for coffee machines, commonly available on the market, with the
following methods of use:
1.
remove the tank, empty it if full, pour the entire contents of the decalcifier
bottle into it;
2.
reposition the tank in place;
3.
press the dispensing button to pour the solution inside the machine;
4.
gradually remove the descaling solution by means of a container positioned
under the coffee dispensing spout;
5.
intermittently dispense the descaling agent, approximately 75 ml at a time,
leaving it to act for around 5 to 10 minutes and repeat the operation until the
descaling solution is depleted;
6.
remove the tank, wash it with running water and reposition it in place;
7.
dispense approximately 1 water tank intermittently (30 seconds on – 30 sec-
onds off);
