• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
6.2 Cleaning the machine's internal circuit
If the appliance is not used for more than 3/4 days, before using
it again, we strongly recommend switching it on and:
- performing 2/3 rinse cycles (see section “8.1 Rinsing”);
- delivering hot water for a few seconds (section “12. Deliv-
ering hot water”).
Please note:
After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A20) to
contain water.
6.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container
When “Empty grounds container” appears on the display (B1),
the grounds container must be emptied and cleaned. The ap-
pliance cannot be used to make coffee until you have cleaned
the grounds container (A20). Even if not full, the empty grounds
container message appears on the display 72 hours after the
first coffee has been prepared. For the 72 hours to be calculated
correctly, the machine must never be turned off with the main
switch (A7).
Important! Danger of burns
If you make a number of cappuccinos one after the other, the
metal cup tray (A21) becomes hot. Wait for it to cool down be-
fore touching it and handle it from the front only.
To clean (with the machine on):
• Remove the drip tray (A24) (fig. 23), empty and clean.
• Empty the grounds container (A20) and clean thoroughly
to remove all residues left on the bottom. This can be done
with the spatula on the brush (C5) provided.
• 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 you make the next coffees, the grounds
container may fill up more than expected and clog the machine.
6.4 Cleaning the drip tray and condensate tray
Important!
The drip tray (A24) is fitted with a level indicator (A22) (red)
showing the level of water it contains (fig. 24). Before the in-
dicator protrudes from the cup tray (A21), 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
(A20) (fig. 23);
2. Remove the cup tray (A21) and drip tray grille (A23), then
empty the drip tray and grounds container and wash all
components;
3. Check the red condensate tray (A16) and empty if
necessary;
4. Replace the drip tray complete with grille and grounds
container.
6.5 Cleaning the inside of the coffee machine
Danger of electric shock!
Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must be turned off
(see section “7. Turning the appliance off”) and unplugged from
the mains power supply. Never immerse the coffee machine in
water.
1. Check regularly (about once a month) that the inside of
the appliance (accessible after removing the drip tray, A24)
is not dirty. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with the
brush (C5) supplied and a sponge;
2. Remove all the residues with a vacuum cleaner (fig. 25).
6.6 Cleaning the water tank
1. Clean the water tank (A18) regularly (about once a month)
and whenever you replace the water softener filter (C4) (if
provided) with a damp cloth and a little mild washing up
liquid;
2. Remove the filter (C4) (if present) and rinse with running
water;
3. Replace the filter (if provided), fill the tank with fresh
water and replace the tank;
4. (Models with water softener filter only) Deliver 100ml of
water to reactivate the filter.
4.1 Cleaning the coffee spouts
1. Clean the coffee spouts (A14) regularly with a sponge or
cloth (fig. 26A);
2. Check that the holes in the coffee spouts are not blocked.
If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a toothpick (fig.
26B).
4.2 Cleaning the pre-ground coffee funnel
Check regularly (about once a month) that the pre-ground cof-
fee funnel (A6) is not blocked. If necessary, remove coffee de-
posits with the brush (C5) supplied.
14.1 Cleaning the infuser
The infuser (A9) must be cleaned at least once a month.
