Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean
the coffee machine. With De’Longhi superautomatic coffee
machines, you need not use chemical products to clean the
machine.
• None of the components of the appliance can be washed
in a dishwasher with the exception of the drip tray grille
(A13) and milk container (D).
• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
15.2 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 by selecting the "Rinse" func-
tion (section “8.1 Rinsing ”);
• delivering hot water for a few seconds (section “11. Deliv-
ering hot water”).
Please note!
After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A10) to
contain water.
15.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container
When "EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER" appears on the display
(B1), the grounds container must be emptied and cleaned. The
appliance cannot be used to make coffee until you have cleaned
the grounds container (A10). 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 never be turned off with the main switch.
Important! Danger of burns
If you make a number of cappuccinos one after the other, the
metal cup tray (A11) 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 (A14) (fig. 25), empty and clean.
• Empty the grounds container (A10) and clean thoroughly
to remove all residues left on the bottom. This can be done
using the spatula on the brush (C5) provided.
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.
15.4 Cleaning the drip tray
Important!
The drip tray (A14) is fitted with a level indicator (A12) (red)
showing the level of water it contains (fig. 34). Before the in-
dicator protrudes from the cup tray (A11), 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, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the drip tray and the coffee grounds container
(A10) (fig. 25);
2. Remove the cup tray (A11) and drip tray grille (A13), then
empty the drip tray and grounds container and wash all
components.
3. Put the drip tray complete with grille and grounds contain-
er back in the appliance.
15.5 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 - A14)
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. 27).
15.6 Cleaning the water tank
1. Clean the water tank (A16) 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. Rinse thoroughly before filling the tank and putting
it back in the appliance;
2. Remove the filter (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 about
100ml of hot water to reactivate the filter.
