CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1 Press the filter holder flap (6) downwards and remove the lower plastic
base (7).
2 Clean both parts of the filter holder with water. Move the filter selector
switch (5) to different positions to ensure all the coffee remains trapped
in the filter holder are eliminated.
3 Replace the plastic base in the filter holder, fitting the projecting part into
the opening of the filter holder handle.
Cleaning the steamer
1 If you use the steam nozzle to heat milk, clean it as soon as possible for
easy cleaning. Wait for the steam nozzle to cool down and wipe it with a
damp cloth.
2 Every now and again, for more thorough cleaning of the steamer,
proceed as follows: wait until the steamer cools down and unscrew its
cylindrical part anticlockwise. Wipe the steamer spindle with a damp
cloth and soap the cylindrical part. Make sure that the small hole at the
top of the steamer is clean before refitting the part.
3 Fit the steamer on its spindle, screwing it clockwise.
The appliance has an automatic de-pressurising system that channels
some of the water from the dregs into the tray. It is advisable to remove
the water from the cup-holder tray regularly.
Limescale Removal
We recommend de-scaling the appliance once a year using a special
product for coffee machines so as to maintain the coffee maker in perfect
condition. We recommend the Solac de-scaling agent.
1 Follow the instructions that come with the de-scaling product.
2 To flush out the circuits, fill the tank again with water only, switch on the
coffee maker, fit the filter holder without coffee, and carry out all the
steps described in the 'Operation' section twice. During this process,
press the switch (3) and let steam out for 1 minute.
