Please note:
• After cleaning, it is normal for water to have collected in
the coffee grounds container (A15).
11.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container
When the indicator (B13) comes on, the coffee grounds con-
tainer needs emptying and cleaning.
The appliance cannot be used to make coffee until you have cle-
aned the grounds container. Even if not full, the empty grounds
container message is displayed 72 hours after the first coffee has
been prepared. For the 72 hours to be calculated correctly, the
machine must always be plugged in.
Important! Danger of scalding
If you make a number of cappuccinos one after the other, the
metal cup tray (A12) becomes hot. Wait for it to cool down befo-
re touching it and handle it from the front only.
To clean (with the machine on):
• Remove the drip tray (A12) (fig. 23), empty and clean.
• Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly to
remove all residues left on the bottom. This can be done
with the spatula on the brush ((D5), if included with your
model).
• Check the condensate tray ((A16), red) and empty if
necessary.
Important!
When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be
emptied, even if it contains few grounds.
If this is not done, when the next coffees are made, the grounds
container may fill up more than expected and clog the machine.
11.4 Cleaning the drip tray and condensate tray
Important!
The drip tray (A12) is fitted with a level indicator ((A13) red)
showing the level of water it contains (fig. 24). Before the in-
dicator protrudes from the cup tray (A14), the drip tray must be
emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may overflow the
edge and damage the appliance, the surface it rests on or the
surrounding area.
To remove the drip tray:
1. Remove the drip tray and the coffee grounds container
(A15) (fig. 23);
2. Empty the drip tray and grounds container and wash them;
3. Check the red condensate tray (A16) and empty if
necessary;
4. Replace the drip tray and grounds container.
11.5 Cleaning the inside of the machine
Danger of electric shock!
Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must be turned off
(see section “5. Turning the appliance off”) and unplugged from
the mains power supply. Never immerse the machine in water.
1. Check regularly (about once a month) that the inside of the
appliance (accessible after removing the drip tray, (A12))
is not dirty. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a
brush (if included with your model, use the accessory (D5)
provided) and a sponge;
2. Remove all residues with a vacuum cleaner (fig. 25).
11.6 Cleaning the water tank
1. Clean the water tank regularly (about once a month) and
whenever you replace the water softener filter ((D4) if
provided) with a damp cloth and a little mild washing up
liquid;
2. Remove the filter (if installed) and rinse with running
water;
3. Replace the filter (if installed), fill the tank with fresh water
and replace;
4. (Models with water softener filter only) Deliver about
100ml of water.
11.7 Cleaning the coffee spouts
1. Clean the coffee spouts (A17) regularly with a sponge or
cloth (fig. 26A).
2. Check the holes in the coffee spouts are not blocked. If
necessary, remove coffee deposits with a toothpick (fig.
26B).
11.8 Cleaning the pre-ground coffee funnel
Check regularly (about once a month) that the pre-ground cof-
fee funnel (A5) is not blocked. If necessary, remove coffee depo-
sits with a brush (if included with your model, use the accessory
(D5) provided).
11.9 Cleaning the infuser
The infuser (A9) must be cleaned at least once a month.
Important!
The infuser cannot be removed when the machine is on.
1. Make sure the machine has run the shutdown procedure
correctly (“5. Turning the appliance off”).
2. Remove the water tank (A11)
3. Open the infuser door (A8) (fig. 27) on the right side of the
appliance;
4. Press the two coloured release buttons inwards and at the
same time pull the infuser outwards (fig. 28).
5. Soak the infuser in water for about 5 minutes, then rinse
under the tap;
