Please note!
After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A10) to
contain water.
18.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container
When "EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER" appears on the display
(B), the grounds container must be emptied and cleaned. The
appliance cannot be used to make coffee until you have cleaned
the grounds container (A10). Even if not full, the empty grounds
container message is displayed 72 hours after the first coffee has
been prepared. For the 72 hours to be calculated correctly, the
machine must never be turned off with the main switch.
Important! Danger of burns
If you make a number of cappuccinos one after the other, the
metal cup tray (A11) becomes hot. Wait for it to cool down be-
fore touching it and handle it from the front only.
To clean (with the machine on):
1. Remove the drip tray
(A14) (fig. 45), empty and
clean.
2. Empty the grounds con-
tainer (A10) and clean
thoroughly to remove
all residues left on the
bottom. This can be done
using the spatula on the
brush (C5) provided.
Important!
When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must 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.
18.4 Cleaning the drip tray
Important!
The drip tray (A14) is fitted with a level indicator (A12) (red)
showing the level of water it contains (fig. 46). Before the in-
dicator protrudes from the cup tray (A11), 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, proceed as follows:
3. Remove the drip tray and the coffee grounds container
(A10) (fig. 45);
4. Empty the drip tray and
grounds container and
wash them;
5. Remove the drip tray com-
plete with grounds
container.
18.5 Cleaning the inside of the coffee machine
Danger of electric shock!
Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must be turned off
(see section “7. Turning the appliance off”) and unplugged from
the mains power supply. Never immerse the coffee machine in
water.
1. Check regularly (about
once a month) that the
inside of the appliance
(accessible after removing
the drip tray, A14) is not
dirty.
2. If necessary, remove
coffee deposits with the
brush (C5) supplied and a
sponge.
3. Remove all the residues
with a vacuum cleaner
(fig. 47).
18.6 Cleaning the water tank
1. Clean the water tank (A16) regularly (about once a month)
and whenever you replace the water softener filter (C4) (if
provided) with a damp cloth and a little mild washing up
liquid. Rinse thoroughly before filling the tank and putting it
back in the appliance;
2. Remove the filter (if present) and rinse with running water;
3. Replace the filter (if provided), fill the tank with fresh water
and replace the tank;
4. (Models with water softener filter only) Deliver about
100ml of hot water to reactivate the filter.
