9 CLEANING
Maintenance and cleaning can only be carried out when the ma-
chine is cold and disconnected from the electric network.
• Do not immerse the machine in water or place any of its
parts in a dishwasher.
• Do not use sharp objects or harsh chemical products (sol-
vents) for cleaning.
•
(Fig.18) -
We recommend cleaning the water tank and re-
fi lling it with fresh water every day.
• After heating milk, dispense a small quantity of hot water to
clean the wand. Use a dampened cloth to clean the outside
of the wand.
•
(Fig.29) -
Use a soft, dampened cloth to clean the appli-
ance.
•
(Fig.30) -
Perform the following operations to clean the
fi lter holder:
• Remove the fi lter, immerse it in hot water and wash it
thoroughly.
• Clean the inside of the fi lter holder.
• Do not dry the machine and/or its components using a mi-
crowave and/or standard oven.
• Clean the Pannarello placed over the steam wand (if any).
To do this, unscrew the ring nut, remove the Pannarello
from the steam wand and disassemble the outer body of
the Pannarello.
Wash under running water and reassemble the Pannarello.
We recommend tightening the ring nut properly
because the Pannarello could slip off during op-
eration.
10 DESCALING
Limescale normally builds up with the use of the appliance. The
machine needs descaling every 1-2 months (if used) and/or
whenever a reduction in water fl ow is noticed. Use the Saeco
descaling solution only.
In case of confl ict, priority must be given to what
is indicated in the operation and maintenance
manual over the instructions provided on separately
sold accessories and materials.
Use the Saeco descaling
solution only. Its formula
has been designed to ensure bet-
ter machine performance and op-
eration for its whole operating
life. If correctly used, it also avoids
alterations in the brewed product.
The descaling solution must be
disposed of according to the man-
ufacturer's instructions and/or
regulations in force in the country of use.
Never drink the descaling solution or any prod-
ucts dispensed until the cycle has been carried
out to the end. Never use vinegar as a descaling solution.
