2. Check the holes in the coffee spouts are not blocked. If nec-
essary, remove coffee deposits with a toothpick (fig. 26B).
16.8 Cleaning the pre-ground coffee funnel
Check regularly (about once a month) that the pre-ground
coffee funnel (A4) is not blocked. If necessary, remove coffee
deposits with a brush.
16.9 Cleaning the infuser
The infuser (A9) must be cleaned at least once a month.
Important!
The infuser cannot be extracted when the machine is on.
1. Make sure the machine is correctly turned off (see “5. Turn-
ing the appliance off”);
2. Remove the water tank (A7);
3. Open the infuser door (A8) (fig. 27) on the right side of the
appliance;
4. Press the two coloured release buttons inwards and at the
same time pull the infuser outwards (fig. 28);
5. Soak the infuser in water for about 5 minutes, then rinse
under the tap;
Important!
RINSE WITH WATER ONLY
NO WASHING UP LIQUID - NO DISHWASHER
Clean the infuser without using washing up liquid as it
could be damaged.
6. Use the brush to remove any coffee residues left in the in-
fuser housing, visible through the infuser door;
7. After cleaning, replace the infuser by sliding it onto the
internal support, then push the PUSH symbol fully in until
it clicks into place;
Please note:
If the infuser is difficult to insert, before insertion, adapt it to the
right size by pressing the two levers (fig. 29).
8. Once inserted, make sure the two coloured buttons have
snapped out;
9. Close the infuser door;
10. Put the water tank back.
17. DESCALING
Descale the appliance when the
light on the control panel
flashes.
Important!
• Descaler contains acids which may irritate the skin and
eyes. It is vital to respect the manufacturer’s safety warn-
ings given on the descaler pack and the warnings relating
to the procedure to follow in the event of contact with the
skin and eyes.
• It is important to use De’Longhi descaler only. Using un-
suitable descaler and/or performing descaling incorrectly
may result in faults not covered by the manufacturer's
guarantee.
1. Turn the appliance on and wait until it is ready for use.
2. Empty the water tank (A7) and remove the water softener
filter (C4) (if present).
3. Pour the descaler (C3) into the water tank up to the level
A
(corresponding to a 100ml pack) marked on the back of the
tank (fig. 30), then add water (1 litre) up to level
B
(fig. 30).
4. Place an empty container with a minimum capacity of 1
litre under the cappuccino maker (A18) and coffee spouts
(A11) (fig. 31).
5. Press and hold the
button (B5) for at least 5 seconds
to confirm that you have added the solution and begin the
descaling procedure. The
light in the button remains
on steadily to indicate that the descaling programme has
begun. The
light flashes telling you to turn the steam
dial to the
l
position.
Important! Danger of scalding
Hot water containing acid flows from the hot water/steam and
coffee spouts. Take care to avoid contact with splashes of hot
water.
6. Turn the steam dial (A21) a half turn anticlockwise to the I
position. The descaler solution flows out of the cappuccino
maker into the underlying container.
The descaling programme automatically performs a series
of rinses and pauses to remove all the scale. It is normal for
several minutes of inactivity to elapse between rinses.
After about 25 minutes, the water tank is empty and the
and
lights flash. Turn the steam dial clockwise as far as it
will go to the 0 position.
7. The appliance is now ready for rinsing through with clean
water. Empty the container used to collect the descaler
solution. Extract the water tank, empty, rinse under run-
ning water, fill with fresh water up to the MAX level and
put back in the appliance: the
light flashes.
8. Place the container used to collect the descaler solution
empty under the cappuccino maker and coffee spouts (fig.
31).
9. Turn the steam/hot water dial to the
I
position to begin
rinsing. Hot water is delivered first from the cappuccino
maker, to continue and end with the coffee spouts.
10. When the water tank is completely empty, the
and
lights flash on the control panel. Turn the steam/hot
water dial to the
0
position.
