Do not use any cleaning pads or corrosive or abrasive cleaners (e.g. metal scouring
pads, disinfectants, bleach or unsuited descalers) for cleaning the appliance or any
part of it. As well, do not use any hard or sharp-edged foreign objects, except for
the cleaning tool, which may be used only for opening the hole in the steam wand
nozzle and at the bottom of the double-wall espresso filters. The cleaning tool has
an edged needle. Ensure to avoid pricking your fingers. Do not use violence.
Some functions are available that will assist you during cleaning. Use the command
“Guide and Setting / Mainenance”: purging the steam wand (“Steam wand cleaning”),
cleaning the group head, filter holder and espresso filters (“Cleaning cycle”), and desca-
ling the water system (“Descaling cycle”; see: ‘Descaling the Water System’).
THOROUGHLY CLEANING THE STEAM WAND
After each use, wipe the steam wand via a moist cloth for avoiding that proteins
and fat of the milk build hard crusts on the surfaces and clog the hole in the nozzle.
Additionally, these residues may cause a stale taste and odour of the textured milk
(see: ‘Operation / Texturing Milk’).
For maintaining a good performance, we recommend to execute the following tho-
rough cleaning method at least at the end of the day. Use the cleaning function
“Steam wand cleaning”, which requires only a little aid from you.
NOTE
You should use the cleaning function also, if the steam production is low and the
results of texturing milk are poor. In these cases, the steam wand may be clogged
at least partly.
WARNING
–
Before removing the steam wand nozzle:
Ensure that the
steam wand cooled down sufficiently. Additionally, the appliance gives off steam
and hot water at the end of the cleaning cycle. After reassembling the nozzle,
direct the steam wand to the drip tray and
keep your hands away
, before tou-
ching the “Start” button. Please adhere to the instructions on the screen.
Starting the Steam Wand Cleaning
1. Ensure that the water tank is filled at least up to the half. If required, empty the
drip tray.
2. Switch on the appliance and wait until the home page is shown.
3. Select the commands “Guide and Setting / Maintenance / Steam wand cleaning”.
4. Follow the instructions given on the screen. Doing so, please consider the
following hints.
NOTE
Via the arrow in the navigation bar, you can switch back to the previous page.
The home icon terminates the cleaning function and switches back to the home
page of the appliance.
NOTE
If the steam wand nozzle is clogged stubbornly, you should soak it for approx.
5 minutes in warm dishwater after removing it. Then use the cleaning tool for pri-
cking the hole in the nozzle open. Beware of pricking your fingers via the needle
of the cleaning tool. Wipe the steam tube via a moist, soft cloth, before turning
the nozzle onto the steam tube.
IMPORTANT -
After turning on the nozzle, there may be no gap between the noz-
zle and the steam tube. Do NOT use violence and/or any tools.
5. At the end of the cleaning function, the steam wand is purged. Before starting
the purging process, direct the steam wand to the drip tray or into a suited ves-
sel. Then,
keep your hands away from the steam wand
and start the process
via the “Start” button. Wait, until the appliance finishes the purging cycle.
NOTE
You can terminate the purging cycle via the “Exit” button. Via the “Pause” button,
the purging cycle is interrupted and can be continued via the “Continue” button.
CLEANING THE GROUP HEAD
We recommend to wipe the underside of the group head at the latest at the end of
the day. Use a soft, moist cloth for removing residues of coffee powder and stains.
1. Switch off the appliance via the on/off button and unplug. Wait until the appli-
ance cooled down sufficiently.
2. Moisten a soft, fluff-free cloth with CLEAR WATER and wipe the underside of the
group head.
3. If required, use a mirror for checking, whether there are any residues of coffee
powder at the splash shield (stainless steel mesh in the centre) or gasket (lying
around the splash shield). Residues of coffee powder at the splash shield may
be removed via a soft brush.
4. Plug in the appliance and switch on via the on/off button. Wait until the home
page is shown. Then, select a coffee-based drink (e.g. “Coffee Beverages /
Espresso / 2 cups”).
