Cleaning and care
1. Turn the machine off , unplug the
cord and let the machine cool down.
Wipe all outer surfaces with a damp
cloth. Rinse the water tank once a day.
2. When the floating indicator
is visible
above the grid, the drip tray must be
emptied. Lift out grid, tray and waste
container. Empty, rinse, dry and put
back in place. This procedure should
be carried out every two or three days
or after 10 brewed coffees.
Drip tray is not dishwasher proof
(paint can be damaged).
3. Cleaning the coffee spout.
Pull the
spout fully down and remove it by
pulling it towards you. Clean and put
back in place.
Cleaning the steam spout.
After
using the steam spout, dispense steam
for a few seconds. Clean the spout
externally with a damp cloth. For an
easier cleaning, the pipe can also be
removed.
1. Decalcifying.
We recommend to
decalcify the machine regularly
depending on the water hardness
(2–3 months). We recommend to
use Electrolux decalcifying solution
EPD4/C/D/E/N/R (never use vinegar).
Remove and empty the water tank.
Fill the water tank with decalcifying
solution (follow product instructions).
2. Place a bowl
under the spout. Turn on
the machine. Press steam button for
3 sec., then turn the knob to steam/
hot water position (steam led and
coffee led will flash alternately during
the 30 minute decalcifying process).
3. When the decalcifying process is
finished,
steam led will flash fast
in order to remind the user to turn
the knob back. Rinse the water tank
properly, fill it with fresh water and put
it back. Place a bowl under the spout.
Open the knob and rinse machine
until the tank is empty.
