Cleaning the drip tray
Important! If the drip tray is not emptied
regularly, the water could overflow from the edge
and seep inside or around the machine. This
could damage the machine, the surface it rests
on or the surrounding area.
The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (red)
showing the level of water it contains (fig. 37).
Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray,
the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned.
To remove the tray:
1. Open the service door (fig. 35);
2. Remove the drip tray and the grounds
container (Fig. 36);
3. Empty the drip tray and grounds container
(A18) and wash them;
4. Replace the drip tray complete with grounds
container (A18);
5. Close the service door.
Cleaning the water tank
1. Clean the water tank (A13) regularly (about
once a month) with a damp cloth and a little
mild dish soap.
2. Clean to remove all soap residues, then rinse
the water tank thoroughly.
Cleaning the coffee nozzles
1. Clean the nozzle periodically using a sponge
or cloth (fig. 38).
2. Check regularly that the holes in the coffee
spout are not blocked.
If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a
toothpick (fig. 39).
Cleaning the pre-ground coffee feed funnel
• Check regularly (about once a month ) that
the pre-ground coffee funnel is not blocked.
If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a
dull knife.
Danger of electric shock! Before perform-
ing any cleaning operations, the machine must
be turned off and disconnected from the main
power supply. Never immerse the coffee maker
in water.
Cleaning the inside of the machine
1. Check regularly (about once a week) that the
inside of the machine is not dirty. If neces-
sary, remove coffee deposits with a dull knife
and sponge.
2. Remove the residues with a vacuum cleaner
(fig. 40).
Cleaning the brew group
The brew group must be cleaned at least once
a month.
Important! The brew group (A8) must not
be removed when the appliance is on. Do not
attempt to use force to remove the brew group
as this could damage the machine.
1. Make sure the machine is correctly turned
off (see Turning off, page 31).
2. Open the service door (fig. 35);
3. Remove the drip tray and grounds container
(fig. 36);
4. Press the two red release buttons inwards
and at the same time pull the brew group
outwards (fig. 41).
Important! Do not use detergents or liq-
uid soap to clean the brew group. The detergent
would remove the lubricant applied to the inside
of the piston, causing the brew group to seize up
and become unusable.
5. Soak the brew group in water for about 5
minutes, then rinse under the tap.
6. After cleaning, replace the brew group by
sliding it onto the internal support and pin at
the bottom, then push the PUSH symbol fully
in until it clicks into place.
