Cleaning the filter holder and the
filters
The filters should be kept clean to guarantee
perfect results.
Warning!
The filter must only be replaced
when the filter holder cup has cooled down
completely to avoid burns.
Every day, remove the filter from
the filter holder as described in
(Fig.14) and wash it with warm
water.
If you notice a malfunction
when brewing coffee, immerse
the filters in boiling water for 10
minutes and then rinse them
with running water.
To clean the filters more
thoroughly, we recommend using the GAGGIA
cleaning tablets specifically designed to keep your
machine in perfect working order.
Cleaning the grill and drip tray
Remove the drip tray and the grill (Fig.1-10,11)
and wash them with water. Do not use abrasive
cleaning tools.
Cleaning the water tank
Warning!
To avoid burns, the tank should
be cleaned only when the machine is turned
off. The drain hose (Fig. 11) may reach high
temperatures during operation.
Remove the water tank (Fig.1-13) and wash it with
fresh water.
To remove the water tank, first remove the drip tray
(Fig 1-11), and then remove the drain pipe (Fig.11)
by pulling it downwards.
Note.
When reinserting the tank, make sure that
the silicone tubes are inside the tank and that they
are neither twisted nor blocked (Fig.12).
Cleaning the screen
Regularly remove any residual coffee grounds from
the screen (Fig.16) using a brush and wash with hot
water following the instructions given in the section
"How to lower the temperature".
Cleaning after a long period of
inactivity
When the machine is not used for a long time (more
than two weeks), follow the instructions given in
the section "When using for the first time or after
a period of inactivity of more than 2 weeks".
Descaling
Limescale normally builds up
with the use of the appliance.
Use the GAGGIA descaling
product only. Its formula has
been designed to ensure
better machine performance
and operation for its whole
operating life. If correctly used,
it also avoids alterations in the
brewed product. Never use
vinegar or other descaling
agents.
Descaling should be performed
every 2 months.
Warning!
Never drink the descaling solution or
any products dispensed until the cycle has been
carried out to the end.
1.
Insert the filter holder (Fig.1-17) into the brew
unit (Fig.1-8) from the bottom, aligning the
reference mark on the filter holder handle with
the ( ) icon on the front panel of the machine
(Fig.3). Turn the filter holder from left to right
until it locks into place on the ( ) icon (Fig.4).
2.
Remove and empty the water tank (see the
chapter "Cleaning the water tank").
3.
Pour HALF the content of the descaling
solution into the water tank and fill it with fresh
water up to the max level.
