Waste container

Clean the drip tray and waste
container

every day

to avoid

unpleasant odours and mildew.

The waste container will usually contain
some residual water from the rinsing
process.

^

Lift the waste container and pull it
forwards to remove.

^

The waste container can be cleaned
in the dishwasher or by hand using
hot water and a little washing-up
liquid. Dry with a cloth.

^

Also thoroughly clean the now
accessible area in the machine
where the waste container sits.

Ensure that the space to the top right
and left (see arrows) is clean.
otherwise the machine will not be
able to detect that the waste
container is present or requires
emptying.

^

Push the waste container into the
machine.

Drip tray with grid

Clean the drip tray

every day

to

avoid unpleasant odours and
mildew.

A message will appear in the display
when the drip tray is full and needs to
be emptied. Remove the tray and
empty it at the latest when this
message appears.

,

Danger of burning. If the rinsing

process is in progress, wait a while
before removing the drip tray as the
water used for rinsing will run out of
the central spout.
The water in the drip tray can be
very hot. Take care when emptying
it.

^

Open the front of the coffee machine.
Remove the drip tray from the
machine with care.

The grid in the drip tray prevents the
water from spilling out of the tray
when it is being carried.
