CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Warning!
All cleaning operations described below must be performed with the machine
off and with the electric plug disconnected from the socket-outlet.
Warning!
Regular maintenance and cleaning preserve and keep the machine efficient
for a longer amount of time. Never wash machine components in the dish-
washer. Do not use direct jets of water.
Warning!
All operations must be performed when the machine is cold.
Cleaning the filter containing the grounds
Check that the holes are not clogged and if so, clean them with a small brush (Fig. 11).
Dispense boiling water from the filter holder with the filter inside, without coffee grounds, after
placing a glass underneath the dispenser in order to dissolve or remove any coffee residue
or impurities.
Warning!
Slowly remove and disconnect the filter holder because any remaining pres-
sure could cause splashes or squirts.
It is advisable to thoroughly clean the filter about every 3 months using detergent tabs, which
can be found at retail stores and the Authorised Service Centres, following the instructions
inside the package. As an alternative, you can use a simple dishwasher detergent tab (without
added rinse aid or other chemical additives) as follows:
• Put a dishwasher detergent tab into the filter (without coffee) when the machine is hot (after
heating for at least five minutes).
• Couple the filter holder to the machine and put a container underneath the filter holder.
• Put the coffee brewing switch (O) in the coffee position ( ) to start dispensing water, then
dispense water for 15-20 seconds.
• Stop the water supply and let the tab act for at least 15 minutes while keeping the filter
holder coupled on the machine.
• Repeat the water dispensing operation by operating the pump for about 15-20 seconds,
and then letting it rest for another 15-20 seconds, until two tanks of water are used up.
• Remove the filter holder from the machine, remove the filter and rinse it well under running
tap water.
• Turn off the machine, disconnect the power cable from the socket-outlet and clean the
coupling seat of the filter holder with a sponge in order to remove any detergent residue
from the shower disc.
• Turn the machine back on, couple the filter holder once again and dispense at least 2 cups
of water again to complete the rinsing.
If the coffee machine is used daily, it is advisable to carry out the cleaning operation at least
every three months.
