CLEANING
Cleaning the coffee maker
The following parts of the machine must be cle-
aned regularly:
- coffee grounds container (A13),
- drip tray (A17) and condensate tray (A14),
- water tank (A9),
- coffee spouts (A12),
- pre-ground coffee funnel (A6),
- inside of the machine, accessible after ope-
ning the infuser door (A10),
- infuser (A11).
Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents
or alcohol to clean the coffee maker. With
De’Longhi superautomatic coffee makers,
you need not use chemical products to clean
the machine.
• None of the components can be washed in a
dishwasher.
• Do not use metal objects to remove encru
-
stations or coffee deposits as they could
scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
Cleaning the coffee grounds container
When “EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER” is di
-
splayed, the grounds container must be emptied
and cleaned.
Until the grounds container has been cleaned,
the appliance continues to display the message
and coffee cannot be made.
To clean (with the machine on):
• Remove the drip tray (ig. 23), empty and
clean.
• Empty the grounds container and clean tho
-
roughly to remove all residues left on the
bottom. This can be done with the spatula on
the brush (C2) provided.
• Check the condensate tray (red) and empty if
necessary.
Important!
When removing the drip tray, the grounds con-
tainer
must
be emptied, even if it contains few
grounds.
If this is not done, when you make the next cof-
fees, the grounds container may fill up more than
expected and clog the machine.
Cleaning the drip tray and condensate tray
Important!
If the drip tray is not emptied regularly, the water
could overflow from the edge and seep inside or
around the coffee maker.
This could damage the machine, the surface it
rests on or the surrounding area.
The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (red)
showing the level of water it contains (fig. 24).
Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray,
the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned.
To remove the drip tray:
1. Remove the drip tray and the grounds con-
tainer (fig. 23);
2. Empty the drip tray and grounds container
and wash them;
3. Check the red condensate tray and empty if
necessary;
4. Replace the drip tray and grounds container.
Cleaning the inside of the coffee maker
Danger of electric shock!
Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must
be turned off (see “Turning off”) and unplugged
from the mains power supply. Never immerse
the coffee maker in water.
1. Check regularly (about once a month) that
the inside of the appliance (accessible after
removing the drip tray) is not dirty. If neces-
sary, remove coffee deposits with the brush
provided or a sponge.
