Cleaning the infuser
The infuser must be cleaned at least once a
month.
Important!
The infuser (A8) may 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 appliance off by pressing the but-
ton. When the appliance has gone off, unplug.
2. Open the service door (fig. 21);
3. Remove the drip tray and grounds container
(fig. 22);
4. Press the two red release buttons inwards and
at the same time pull the infuser outwards
(fig. 26).
Important!
Do not use washing up liquid to
clean the infuser (A8). 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 (A8) 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 the infuser is
difficult to insert, you must
first 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 buttons
have snapped out.
8. Replace the drip tray
(A11) and grounds con-
tainer (A9).
9. Close the service door
(A12).
DESCALING
Descale the machine when the red light and
message "DESCALE!" flash on the display.
Important!
Descaler contains acids which
may irritate the skin and eyes. It is vital to respect
the manufacturer’s safety warnings given on the
descaler pack and the warnings relating to the pro-
cedure to follow in the event of contact with the skin
and eyes.
NB!
Failure to descale the appliance as
described above invalidates the guarantee.

ting the proportions indicated on the descaler
bottle) into the water tank. Always use desca-
ler recommended by De’Longhi (contact an
authorised service centre).
8. Place an empty container with a minimum
capacity of 1.5 litres under the hot water
spout (B7) (fig. 3).
Important!
Danger of burns Hot water con-
taining acid flows out of the hot water spout.
