ClEANING
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 apart from the milk container
(D).
• 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.
Important! Danger of burns
If you make a number of cappuccinos one after
the other, the metal cup tray becomes hot.
Wait for it to cool down before touching it and
handle it from the front only.
To clean (with the machine on):
• Remove the drip tray (fig. 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 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!
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,
otherwise the water may overflow the edge and
damage the appliance, the surface it rests on or
the surrounding area.
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
