CLEANING AND SERVICING
A. The appliance
„ „
Unplug the appliance from the power socket each time you clean it, and leave to cool.
„ „
Clean the outside of the appliance from time to time with a damp sponge. Clean
and dry the tank, drip tray and grid regularly.
„ „
Rinse the inside of the tank regularly.
„ „
When a fine white layer clouds your tank, follow the descaling process (see
paragraph
DESCALING ).
„ „
Do not use alcohol-based cleaning products or solvents.
„ „
After you have unplugged the appliance, regularly clean the grid through which the
water passes, as well as the watertight seal, using a damp sponge (26).
„ „
Clean using only a damp cloth without any detergent or scourer.
B. The filter holder
„ „
Using a damp cloth, clean the filter holder mount regularly in order to remove
possible coffee residues stuck to the surface (26).
„ „
In order to prolong the useful life of the watertight seal on the brewing head, do
not put the filter holder back in place if the coffee machine has not been used for
extended periods.
„ „
To remove any deposits that could block the flow of your 1 or 2 cup filter, you may
use the needle (32).
C. The drip tray
This must be emptied each time the appliance is used. If several espressos are prepared
consecutively, it is recommended that you empty it regularly (27-28) (approximately every
five cups). The presence of water is normal and is not a sign of leakage. If necessary,
clean the drip tray and the grid with water and a small amount of mild washing up liquid.
Rinse and dry.
D. The steam wand
„ „
Place a container containing water under the steam wand.
„ „
To produce steam, turn the selection button to the Preheat position (D1-3) (10).
„ „
The on/off light will flash again and then remain on. The appliance is now ready to
follow the steam cleaning cycle.
„ „
As soon as the light stays on, plunge the steam wand into the water without
touching the bottom of the container.
IMPORTANT!
Warning! To avoid splashing milk, do not let the wand move above the
surface of the milk when using the steam function.
IMPORTANT!
Warning! The steam wand is still hot! Take care not to burn yourself!
IMPORTANT! After switching off the steam, immediately and carefully
clean the steam wand as described in the paragraph on: CLEANING AND
