11.2 Cleaning the coffee filters
The coffee filters are designed to achieve the best possible coffee
froth. To keep them efficient, they must always be kept clean and
free of any coffee residue.
• After each use, rinse the filter with abundant running water
(fig. 27), then press the perforated filter to make sure it is
properly seated (fig. 28);
• check that the hole on the back of the filter (see fig. 29) is
free of any residue.
If the filter is still dirty, or in any case at least once a month, clean
the coffee filters as follows:
1. Extract the perforated filter by pulling the tab (fig. 30).
2. Rinse the filters under running water (fig. 31).
3. Make sure the holes are not blocked. If necessary, clean
with a needle (figs. 29-31).
4. Wipe dry with a cloth.
5. Put the perforated filter back in its seat and push down
fully (fig. 28).

Rinse with running water. Make sure the holes are not blocked. If
necessary, clean with a needle (figs. 29-31).
11.3 Cleaning the coffee spouts
After every 200 coffees, rinse by delivering about 0.5 litres of
water from the spouts (press the coffee button without using
ground coffee).
11.4 Other cleaning operations
1. Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the cof-
fee maker. Use a soft damp cloth only.
2. Clean the filter holder cup.
11.5 Cleaning the water tank
1. Clean the water tank regularly (about once a month) and
whenever you replace the water softener filter (if present)
with a damp cloth and a little mild washing up liquid;
2. Remove the filter (if present) and rinse with running water;
3. Put the filter (if present) back in the appliance, fill the tank
with fresh water and put back in the machine;
4. Deliver 100ml of water (models with water softener filter
only).
12. DESCALING
Important!
• Before using the descaler, (C9)read the instructions and the
labelling on the pack.
• Use De’Longhi descaler only. Using unsuitable descaler
and/or performing descaling incorrectly may result in
faults not covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee.
• Descaler can cause damage to delicate surfaces. If the prod-
uct is accidentally spilt, dry immediately.
