19. CLEANING
For perfect cleaning and efficiency of the appliance, several simple cleaning operations are necessary on the functional parts and accessories
as well as the body panels.
The indications given here are applicable for normal use of the coffee machine. If the machine is heavily used then cleaning should be per-
formed more frequently.
Filter and filter-holder
The filters and the relative filter-holders must be cleaned daily in hot water. The best thing to do is to
let them soak in hot water overnight so that the fatty coffee deposits can dissolve.
It is advisable to add an envelope or tablet of special detergent to the water, and then to rinse
everything off with water.
Failure to clean the filters and filter holders daily will compromise the quality of the coffee and will
also cause problems such as bad extraction and coffee grounds at the bottom of the cup.
Perforated disk and containment ring
Both the shower plate (4) and its containment ring (3) should be cleaned weekly in hot water. To
do this loosen the screw (5) and remove the two elements from the dispensing unit.
Steam nozzles
The steam pipes must be kept clean at all times. Check the ends of the steam nozzles and clean
them monthly, clearing out the exit holes with a small needle.

18. CUP HEATING DEVICE
The cup heating device is for heating cups before they are used.
• Place the cups on the upper surface
(1) of the coffee machine.
• Start the electric heating element with the switch (2) or with the push
button panel (e.g. VENUS).
WARNING
For safety reasons we advise against putting cloths or other
objects on the upper surface of the machine as they could obstruct
normal air circulation.
