Cleaning
•
Clean the outside of the coffee machine
with a soft damp cloth and dry it
afterwards. Do not use solvents or
abrasive products.
•
Regularly clean the water deposit (B),
the drip tray (I), the drip grille (H), the
filter holder (M) and the filters (J and K)
with warm water and neutral soap. After
cleaning then, rinse them carefully with
clean water and dry them.
•
Every time you use the coffee machine,
clean off any coffee remains. To do this,
follow these steps:
-
Fit the empty filter holder (M)
(Fig.
3)
.
-
Switch the coffee maker on by
pressing the on/off switch (E).
-
Press the coffee switch (F) and let
the water circulate for several
seconds.
•
Clean the steamer (O) with a damp
cloth.
Maintenance
•
Periodically, or whenever necessary,
clean the coffee outlet and inside the
filter holder (M).
•
If necessary, also clean the top filter
(Fig. 15)
.Do this in the following way:
-
Turn off the on/off switch (E) and
unplug from the mains.
-
Wait for the coffee maker to cool.
-
Loosen the top filter (P) with an
appropriate tool
(Fig. 16)
.
-
Clean the filter with running water
and fit it back in the coffee maker.
•
If you do not plan to use the
coffeemaker for a long period of time,
do not fit the filter holder in the head or
only insert it in the central position to
lengthen the appliance life.
Cleaning scale
Clean the limescale off the coffee machine
from time to time. The frequency will
depend on the hardness of the water (ask
your supply company). Normally it should
be cleaned every three months at least.
Use normal water softening products on the
market for coffee machines (follow the
instructions on the packet) or dissolve two
teaspoons of tartaric acid or citric acid in
half a litre of lukewarm water.
Do not use vinegar
as it will reduce the life
of the appliance.
How to remove limescale from the coffee
machine
•
Fill the deposit with a descaling
solution. Then place a container which
is large enough on the drip grille (H)
under the filter holder (M).
•
Plug the coffee machine in.
•
Press the switch (E) to turn the coffee
maker on and press the button (F). Let
around 1/3 of the deposit flow out
through the coffee outlet.
•
Then let the solution work for around 15
minutes with the coffeemaker switched
off.
•
Connect the coffeemaker again, and
with the switch (G) on position
and
let the rest of the water run out at
regular intervals.
•
In order to descale the steamer (O),
from time to time position the switch (G)
on
and insert the steamer (O) into
an empty container and open the
steamer.
•
Repeat the process as many times as
necessary.
•
When the descaling process has
finished, clean the water deposit (B)
thoroughly.
•
Fill the deposit with drinking water and
let it circulate through the coffeemaker
until it has completely emptied twice.
