Daily to weekly routine
Clean body
The outside of the machine can be cleaned with window cleaner in a hand spray flask in combination
with a soft, clean, cotton clot
h. When the machine is turned “ON” it will be warm and you have to work
swiftly to prevent stripes: spray and immediately rub.
Resistant smudges on high gloss panels may be removed with silver polish and a soft cloth (these
surfaces scratch easily, even copper polish may leave marks).
Lift the drip tray grill from the machine and clean it with washing up liquid and a sponge.
Activate the groups (without filter holder locked in) or let the hot water run for a moment and use a
brush to push remains into the drain.
As often as needed (with regular use once every day), pour one teaspoon of coffee dissolving powder
into the drain and flush it with some hot water down the drain to prevent clogging of the drain hose.

Group screen extractor (or back end of teaspoon)
Procedure

Figure 15. Pry filter basket from filter holder with the group screen extractor.
Clean filter holder
Remove the filter basket from the filter holder and clean the filter basket with a little washing up liquid
and plastic scouring pad or firm brush. Soak the metal part of the filter holder for 10 minutes in a
solution of 1 tablespoon of coffee dissolving powder in 0.5 litre hot water. The plastic handle will
eventually disintegrate in this solution and should thus be kept out of the solution.
Caution!
Never clean the filter holder in a dish washer as dish washer detergent will ruin it.
