14
hand and with the other rotate the cappuccino maker anti-
clockwise (fig. 21), then remove by pulling downwards.
3. Also remove the steam connection nozzle by pulling it
downwards (fig. 22).
4. Make sure the two holes shown by the arrow in fig. 23 are
not blocked. If necessary, clean using a toothpick.
5. Wash all parts of the cappuccino maker thoroughly with a
sponge and warm water.
6. Reinsert the nozzle, then replace the cappuccino maker
on the nozzle, turning it and pushing it upwards until it is
attached.
13. HOT WATER
Danger of burns!
Never leave the machine unattended while delivering hot water.
The hot water spout becomes hot while water is being delivered
and must be handled by the handle only.
1. Place a container under the cappuccino maker (A18) (as
close as possible to avoid splashes).
2. Turn the steam dial (A19) to the
I
position. Delivery begins.
3. Stop by turning the steam dial to the
0
position.
Please note:
If “Energy Saving” mode is active, you may have to wait a few
seconds before the hot water is delivered.
14. CLEANING
14.1 Cleaning the machine
The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:
- the appliance’s internal circuit;
- coffee grounds container (A13);
- drip tray (A17) and condensate tray (A14);
- water tank (A9);
- coffee spouts (A12);
- cappuccino maker (A18);
- pre-ground coffee funnel (A6);
- infuser (A11), accessible after opening the service door
(A10);
- control panel (A1).
Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean
the coffee machine. With De’Longhi superautomatic coffee
machines, 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 encrustations or coffee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
14.2 Cleaning the machine’s internal circuit
If the appliance is not used for more than 3-4 days, before
using it again, we strongly recommend switching it on and
performing:
• 2/3 rinse cycles by pressing the
button (B5);
• delivering hot water by turning the hot water/steam dial
(A19) to the
I
position.
Please note:
• After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A13)
to contain water.
14.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container
When the
light flashes, the coffee grounds container must
be emptied and cleaned. Unless you clean the grounds contain-
er, the light will continue to flash and the appliance cannot be
used to make coffee.
To clean (with the machine on):
• Remove the drip tray (A17) (fig. 24), empty and clean.
• Empty the grounds container (A13) and clean thoroughly
to remove all residues left on the bottom.
• Check the red condensate tray (A14) and empty if
necessary.
Important!
When removing the drip tray, the grounds container
must
al-
ways be emptied, even if it contains few grounds.
If this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the grounds
container may fill up more than expected and clog the machine.
14.4 Cleaning the drip tray and condensate tray
Important!
If the drip tray is not emptied regularly, the water could over-
flow from the edge and seep inside or around the machine.
This could damage the machine, the surface it rests on or the
surrounding area.
The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (A16) (red) show-
ing the level of water it contains (fig. 25). 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 (A17) and the grounds container
(A13) (fig. 24);
2. Empty the drip tray and grounds container and wash them;
3. Check the condensate tray (A14) and empty if necessary.
4. Replace the drip tray and grounds container.
