brush. Make sure the holes are not blocked. If
necessary, clean with a pin.
• rinse the outlet under the tap, still scrubbing it;

OTHER CLEANING OPERATIONS
1.
Do not use solvents or detergents in cleaning the
coffee maker. Use a soft, damp cloth.
2.
Remove the drip-trays, empty them and wash them
periodically
ATTENTION: during cleaning, never immerse the
unit in water – it is an electrical appliance.
DESCALING
It is advisable to clean the calcium from the machine
every 300 cups of coffee. It is recommended that
specific (store-bought) products for descaling of
espresso coffee machines be used. If such products are
not available, it is possible to proceed as follows:
1.Fill the tank with water using 1 liter of water;
2.Dissolve 2 spoonfuls (about 30 grams) of citric acid
in the water (available from chemists);
3.Press the ESPRESSO switch and wait until the
‘OK’ pilot light comes on;
4.Check that the filter holder is not attached and place
a container under the outlet of the machine;
5.Press the coffee delivery switch and allow half
the water in the tank to flow out. Then stop the flow
by pressing the switch again;
6.Allow the solution to act for about 15 minutes, then
start up the flow again until the tank is completely
empty;
7.To eliminate the remains of the solution and the
calcium, rinse the tank well, fill it with clean water
and replace.
8.Press the coffee delivery switch and wait until the
tank is empty;
9.Press the switch again and repeat operations 7 and
8 one more time.
Repairs for malfunctioning caused by problems of
calcium build-up are not covered by the guarantee if
the descaling process described above is not carried
out regularly.
