Coffee machine cleaning
IMPORTANT:
To obtain the best efficiency, quality and performance of the machine, you should always
follow the cleaning and care instructions provided in this manual.
Turn off the power switch when cleaning the exterior of the machine.
All external surfaces should be cleaned with a wet cloth that will not get out fibres, threads or
scratch the machine.
Do not use aggressive cleaning detergents, solvents or degreasers. They can damage the
finishing of the machine.
DAILY CLEANING
Once a day or after 8 hours from the last dispensing of coffee, the following cleaning tasks
must be performed for maintaining the quality and performance of the water system in the
machine:
Brewing Group: Place the empty filterholder (without coffee) in the group head and dispense
hot water for one minute.
Steam wand: Position the wand outside the drip tray and open the steam lever for around
one minute
Rinse the group and filterholder without detergent. (Only using hot water)
Clean the external surfaces of the machine. Pay special attention to the stainless steel parts.
Clean the steam wand and the water outlet. Be sure that the nozzles are not blocked or half
blocked with for example milk remains. If it’s necessary to clean, be careful not to deform or
damage any of the components.
Clean the drip tray with a brush. You can slowly pour 1L of hot water into the drain cup to
dissolve and remove coffee residue that have accumulated inside the cup and tubes.
Clean the group’s gasket and shower plate.
WEEKLY CLEANING
Clean the brewing group and filterholder with professional cleaning powder :
Unlock and remove the filterholder from the group head.
Place the blind filter in the filter holder.
Fill the blind filter basket with professional cleaning powder for espresso coffee
machines.
Lock the filterholder into the group head.
Activate the auto-cleaning program if the machine has the function: (with the
machine on idle-state press the continuous button and without release, press also the
1 espresso button. Auto-cleaning will start automatically. Release the buttons.)
Repeat the cleaning cycle with all the other groups.
