7.1 General cleaning
Daily cleaning:
Filter holder, filters, water tank, drip tray, drip plate of the drip tray, measuring-spoon and tamper require daily
cleaning. Use warm water and/or with food safe detergent for cleaning.
Clean the shower and the group gasket in the lower part of the group and remove visible dirt without disassembling the
parts.
Cleaning as necessary:
Clean the steam/ hot water valve after every use.
Clean the body when the machine is switched off and cold.
Use a soft and damp cloth for cleaning.
Never use abrasive or chloric detergents!
Empty the water drip tray regularly and do not wait until it is full.
7.2 Group cleaning and degreasing
A group cleaner (in powder or tablet form) is available at your specialised dealer. With this detergent, you can clean and
degrease the group very easily. The cleaning is carried out using the blind filter included in delivery. The group
cleaning with our tablets can be carried out every week.
Follow the instructions as noted below:
1
Heat up the machine.
2 Put the blind filter into the filter holder.
3 Pour ½ spoon of detergent into the blind filter or put a tablet into the filter holder.
4 Place the filter holder in the group head.
5 Operate the group lever. The blind filter fills with water.
6 Let the detergent react, moving the group lever into the middle position. (Do not move it into the lower position.)
7 Move the lever into the lower position after approx. 40 seconds. In this way, the fats and oils can be discharged by
the infusion cylinder.
8 Repeat points 5-7 several times, until only clear water will be discharged by the infusion cylinder.
9 Rinse the filter holder and the blind filter with fresh water. Then replace it.
10 Operate the group lever for approx. one minute. Then move it back into the lower position.
11 Remove the filter holder and repeat point 10. After this, the group is ready for use.
Caution!
Beware of hot spillings while cleaning the group.
7.3 Prophilactic descaling
A regular descaling of the machine is recommended to avoid strong calcification and expensive repairing. While
descaling, always take into account the hardness degree of the water. It is very important to use a sparing descaler
which does not affect the metal. At your specialised dealer, you can purchase a descaler in powder or tablet form which
is perfectly suited for your machine. Just fill the water tank with fresh water and dissolve one bag of the descaler in it.
Then proceed as follows:
1
Dissolve the descaler in water according to the instructions for use (see above) and pour the solution into the water
tank. Switch on the machine.
2 Release a total minimum of 1,000 ml of water from the group and from the steam/ hot water dispenser. Thus, the
boiler is filled with descaler. Then heat up the machine.
3 Place the filter holder with the blind filter into the group head and operate the group lever 3 times for about 20 seconds.
Move the lever into the lower position after every operation. Thus, the expansion valve will be descaled.
4 After this process, let the descaler react for approx.
½ hour
.
5 Release the remaining descaler solution by operating the group lever.
