water. After each use, rinse out the water tank and empty before replacing in the machine.

and pull out to remove from the machine. (fig. 28)

If multiple espressos are prepared one after the other, the drip tray should be emptied every few
espressos to prevent overflowing.

water and a gentle dishwashing liquid. Rinse well and dry completely before replacing the drip tray in
