MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING H
CLEANING THE FILTERS AND FILTERHOLDERS (N-L-S-V)
After every machine use it is advisable to clean the shower and gasket of the dispensing
assembly with a cloth or a sponge, and to rinse the filters and filter holder in hot water
in order to remove greasy deposits of coffee.
Wash the inside of the filter-holder and filters with a view to avoiding any sediments or
deposits of coffee falling off during coffee making, forming grounds in the cup.
1) Put a measure of detergent for coffee machines in a heat-resistant container filled with
about half a litre of hot water.
2) Place the filters and filter-holder in the water and soak them for about 20/30 minutes.
3) Rinse thoroughly with running water.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY (N-L-S-V)
You must empty out and clean the drip-tray 13 regularly in order to remove any accumulated
water and coffee residues:
1) Lift the cup-rest grille 12.
2) Remove the tray 13 by lifting it upwards, holding it by the supports.
3) Clean the tray; if it is made of plastic you can also wash it in the dishwasher.
If you clean it by hand take care not to use abrasive sponges or materials.
CLEANING THE WATER TANK (N)

water evaporation and stagnation:

3) Loosen the screw 5 and remove the drip-tray cover 7.
4) Remove the water tank 8 by lifting it upwards with the handle.
The tank can be removed without causing any dripping even if it contains water
because it is equipped with a self-closing valve.
5) Disconnect the electric wire from the tank with the specific connector.
6) Clean the tank, preferably by washing it in the dish-washer.
If you clean it by hand take care not to use abrasive sponges or materials and not
to damage the valve located at the bottom of the tank.

8) Re-fit the tank into the machine again. Make sure you fit it into its inner lodging without
forcing it.

located in the machine body before positioning the nearest end: do not force it down;
never use the screw 5 to force the cover into place.
