9. CLEANING
9.1 Cleaning the machine
The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:
- drip tray (A9)
- coffee filters (C2), (C3) and (C4);
- boiler outlet (A11);
- water tank (A4);
- cappuccino maker (A5) as described in section “7. CLEAN-
ING THE CAPPUCCINO MAKER AFTER USE”;
Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean
the coffee machine.
• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
Danger! While cleaning, never immerse the coffee maker in water. It is an elec-
trical appliance.
If the appliance is not used for more than 3/4 days, before using it again,
we strongly recommend you perform a rinse cycle as described in section
“3. SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE”
9.2 Cleaning the drip tray
1. Remove the tray;
2. Remove the cup grille, empty the water and clean the tray
with a cloth, then reassemble the drip tray;
3. Put the drip tray back in place.
9.3 Cleaning the coffee filters
Clean the coffee filters weekly:
1 and 2 cup filters
1. Extract the perforated filter by pulling the tab (fig. 23);
2. Rinse the filters under running water (fig. 24);
3. Make sure the holes are not blocked. If necessary, clean
with a pin (fig. 25);
4. Place the perforated filter in the filter housing and press
as far as it will go.
Pod filter
Rinse under running water. Make sure the holes are not blocked.
If necessary, clean with a pin (fig. 25)..
9.4 Cleaning the boiler outlet
About every 300 coffees, the espresso boiler outlet must be
cleaned as follows:
• Make sure the appliance is not hot and that it is unplugged
from the mains;
• Using a screwdriver, unscrew the screw fixing the espresso
boiler outlet (fig. 26);
• Remove the boiler outlet;
• Clean the boiler with a damp cloth (fig. 26);
• Clean the outlet thoroughly in hot water using a brush.
Make sure the holes are not blocked. If necessary, clean
with a pin.
• Rinse under running water, rubbing all the time.
• Replace the boiler outlet, making sure it is correctly posi-
tioned on its gasket.
Failure to clean as described above invalidates the guarantee.
10. DESCALING
We recommend descaling the coffee maker about every 200
coffees. We recommend using commercially available De’Longhi
descaler
(C6)*.
Proceed as follows:
1. Fill the tank with the descaler solution, obtained by dilut-
ing the descaler with water following the instructions on
the pack.
2. Press the button;
3. Make sure the filter holder is not attached and position a
container under the boiler outlet and cappuccino maker;
4. Wait until the
OK
light comes on
(fig. 8);
5. Press the button (fig. 9) and deliver about 1/4 of
the solution in the tank. At intervals, turn the steam dial
to deliver water from the cappuccino maker. Then interrupt
water delivery by pressing the
button and leave
the solution to work for about 5 minutes;
6. Repeat point 5 another 3 times, until the tank is empty;
7. To eliminate residues of descaler solution, rinse the tank
well and fill it with clean water (without descaler);
8. Press the button and deliver water until the tank
is empty. At intervals, turn the steam dial to deliver water
from the cappuccino maker
(fig. 10);
9. Repeat points 7 and 8.
