2. Try removing the toughest coffee encrusta-
tions with a toothpick or a stiff brush.
If this is not sufficient, soften the encrusta-
tions by soaking the grounds container in
warm soapy water for a few minutes.
Cleaning the spouts
1. Clean the nozzle (I), ideally each time the cof-
fee maker is used, with a sponge or cloth..
2. Check regularly (about once a month) that the
holes in the coffee spout (I) are not blocked. If
necessary, remove coffee deposits with a
toothpick (fig. 28), sponge or stiff bristled kit-
chen brush.
Cleaning the coffee feed funnel
• Check regularly (about once a month) that the
pre-ground coffee feed funnel is not blocked.
If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a
stiff brush.
Cleaning the inside of the machine
1. Check regularly (about once a week) that the
inside of the machine is not blocked with cof-
fee deposits.
If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a
toothpick, sponge or stiff bristled kitchen
brush (fig. 30).
2. Remove the residues with a vacuum cleaner
(fig. 31).
Cleaning the infuser
NB! The infuser must be cleaned at least
once a month.
Important! The infuser (M) must not be
removed when the appliance is on. Do not
attempt to use force to remove the infuser as this
could damage the machine.
1. Turn the machine off using the button. This
ensures the machine is turned off correctly
and that the infuser is in the correct position.
2. Open the service door (fig. 15);
3. Remove the drip tray and grounds container
(fig. 16);
4. Press the two red release buttons inwards and
at the same time extract the infuser (fig. 29).
Unplug from the wall.
Important! Do not use washing up liquid to
clean the infuser (M). The detergent would remo-
ve the lubricant applied to the inside of the piston,
causing the infuser to seize up and become unu-
sable.
5. Soak the infuser in water for about 15 minu-
tes, then rinse.
6. After cleaning, replace the infuser (M) by sli-
ding it onto the internal support and pin at the
bottom, then push the PUSH symbol fully in
until it clicks into place.
NB! If you encounter difficulty inserting the
infuser, before inserting
it you must adapt it to
the right dimension by
pressing it forcefully
from the bottom and top
as shown in the figure.
7. Once inserted, make
sure the two red but-
tons have snapped
out.
8. Replace the drip tray
(G) and grounds con-
tainer (R).
9. Close the service door (H).
DESCALING
Due to the continuous heating of the water used
to make the coffee, over time it is normal for the
tubing inside the machine to fill with lime scale.
When the light starts flashing, it is time to
descale the machine.
Important! Descaler contains acids which
may irritate the skin and eyes. It is vital to adhere to
the manufacturer's safety warnings given on the
Pin
