CLEANING THE ESPRESSO BOILER OUTLET
At least twice a year, the espresso boiler outlet must be
cleaned as follows:
• check that the coffee machine is not warm and the
plug is detached from the mains;
• using a screwdriver, unscrew the screw that holds the
outlet of the espresso boiler (fig. 35);
• clean the boiler with a damp cloth (fig. 15);
• clean the outlet thoroughly in hot water using a
brush. Make sure the holes are not blocked. If
necessary, clean with a pin.
• rinse the outlet under the tap, still scrubbing it;
• replace the outlet of the espresso boiler.
Failure to clean as described above invalidates the
guarantee.
OTHER CLEANING OPERATIONS
1.Do not use solvents or detergents in cleaning the
coffee maker. Use a soft, damp cloth.
2.Remove the drip-trays, empty them and wash them
periodically
ATTENTION: during cleaning, never immerse the unit
in water – it is an electrical appliance.
DESCALING
The coffee machine has a descaling warning device.
After about 300 coffees, the on/off indicator light
flashes. This means the appliance should be descaled.
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the on/off
button.
2. Deactivate the descaling warning by pressing the
on/off button again and holding it down until the
appliance goes off (about 5 seconds). When the
coffee machine goes off, the warning has been
deactivated.
3. Turn the appliance on again.
4. Pour the descaling solution into the tank (descaler
plus water in the proportions indicated on the label
of the descaler). Use a descaler suitable for coffee
machines obtainable from technical service centres
and follow the instructions given on the label of the
bottle carefully. Alternatively, dissolve two spoonfuls
of citric acid (about 30 grams), available from
chemist's or drug stores in half a litre of water and
pour the solution into the water tank;
5. Make sure the filter holder is not attached and
position a recipient under the boiler outlet.
6. Turn the appliance on and wait until the coffee OK
indicator light stops flashing and remains on
steadily.
7. Press the 2 cups button and run off the solution.
Repeat at least 5 times.
8. Turn the coffee machine off immediately and leave
the solution to work for at least 15 minutes.
9. Turn the appliance on and repeat operation 7.
10. Open the steam knob and run off all the solution in
the tank.
11. To eliminate residues of the solution and scale, rinse
the tank well, fill with clean water and replace in its
housing.
12. Press the 2 cups button at least five times and
open the steam knob to completely empty the tank.
