9 - MAINTENANCE AND
USEFUL ADVICE
fig. 12
In order to ensure that the spouts (B) are kept clean and
free of any coffee deposits which may jeopardize yield,
we advise that before starting work in the morning that you
put filter holder (D) in with empty filter (while machine is hot)
and operate the unit several times.
In this way any coffee dust which may have been deposited
between the metal filter (B) and the metal filter holder (A) are
removed. This operation must be repeated every day.
Frequently check the filter holes (C) and remove any de-
posits.
Should the water have been left in the ducts for a long time,
it is necessary to allow some water to flow through them in
order to remove any deposits.

It is a good idea to rinse the filters (C) and filter holders
(D) every day in hot water, or even better, place them in
hot water and allow to soak for the whole night in order to
dissolve any greasy coffee deposits.
It is advisable to leave the filter-holder cups inserted with the
coffee dregs for the entire working day to ensure that the
filter-holder is always at optimum temperature.
Do not cover the cup-warmer level with any fabrics or cloths
etc.
Do not use any abrasive or corrosive products for cleaning
the bodywork.
The steam nozzles must be cleaned immediately after use in
order to prevent the risk of the formation of any scale which
may block the holes and to ensure that any drinks made
subsequently do not absorb any unpleasant odours.
