CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Warning!
All cleaning operations described below must be performed with the machine off and with the electric plug discon-
nected from the socket-outlet.
Warning!
Regular maintenance and cleaning preserve and keep the machine efficient for a longer amount of time. Never
wash machine components in the dishwasher. Do not use direct jets of water.
Warning!
All operations must be performed when the machine is cold.
Cleaning the filter containing the grounds
Check that the coffee exit hole is not clogged and if so, clean it with the pin provided (Fig. 20).
Warning!
Handle the pin provided with care when cleaning the appliance: danger of injury.
Dispense boiling water from the filter holder with the filter inside, without coffee grounds, in order to dissolve or remove any
coffee residue or impurities. It is advisable to thoroughly clean the filter (S) or (T) about every 3 months using dishwasher
detergent tab (without added rinse aid or other chemical additives) as follows:
• Put a dishwasher detergent tab into the filter (without coffee) when the machine is hot (after heating for at least five minutes).
• Couple the filter holder to the machine and put a container underneath the filter holder.
• Turn the knob (L) to the coffee position ( ) to start dispensing water and dispense water for 15-20 seconds.
• Stop the water supply and let the tab act for at least 15 minutes while keeping the filter holder coupled on the machine.
• Repeat the water dispensing operation by operating the pump for about 15-20 seconds, and then letting it rest for another
15-20 seconds, until two tanks of water are used up.
• Remove the filter holder from the machine, remove the filter and rinse it well under running tap water.
• Turn off the machine, disconnect the power cable from the socket-outlet and clean the coupling seat of the filter holder
with a sponge in order to remove any detergent residue from the shower disc.
• Turn the machine back on, couple the filter holder once again and dispense at least 2 cups of water again to complete the rinsing.
If the coffee machine is used daily, it is advisable to carry out the cleaning operation at least every three months.
Cleaning the filter holder seat
With time, coffee residue may accumulate on the filter holder seat. It can be removed with a toothpick, a sponge (Fig. 21),
or by letting water run through without fitting the filter holder (Fig. 6).
Cleaning the steam nozzle
Warning!
Perform this operation when the chrome-plated pipe is cold so as to prevent burns.
Remove the steam pipe (K) Fig. 22 and wash it under running water. The nozzle can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cloth.
Slip the steam pipe on and push it as far as it will go. If necessary, clean the steam exit hole with the pin (W) provided (Fig.
23). After use, always let the steam nozzle run for a few seconds so to free the outlet from any possible residue.
Cleaning the tank
Periodically clean the inside of the tank with a sponge or damp cloth.
Cleaning the grill and drip tray
Remember to empty the drip tray from time to time (I).
Remove the drip tray (I) from the machine (Fig. 24-25-26), empty it and wash it under running water. Wash the grill (J) under running water.
Cleaning the machine body
Warning!
Clean the fixed parts of the machine using only a damp, non-abrasive cloth so as to not damage the body.
DECALCIFICATION
Good maintenance and regular cleaning preserve and keep the machine efficient for a longer amount of time, considerably
limiting the risks of lime deposits forming inside the appliance. However, should your coffee machine fail to work properly
as a result of the frequent use of hard, high calcium content water, you may perform a decalcification procedure to restore
its operational efficiency. For this purpose you must use only citric acid-based decalcifying products. This product is easily
