CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning the outside of the appliance, turn it off,
unplug from the mains socket and allow to cool.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE
FILTER
About every 300 coffees or when the coffee comes out
of the filter holder and filters in drips or not at all, clean
the ground coffee filter holder as follows:
• Remove the filter from the filter holder.
• Remove the filter cap (fig. 18) by unscrewing in the
direction indicated by the arrow on the cap.
• Remove the frother from the container by pushing it
from the cap end.
• Remove the gasket.
• Rinse all components and clean the metal filter
thoroughly in hot water using a brush (fig. 19).
Make sure the holes in the metal filter are not
blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin (see fig.20).
• Replace the filter and gasket on the plastic disk as
shown in fig. 21.
Make sure to insert the pin on the plastic disk into the
hole in the gasket indicated by the arrow in fig. 21.
• Replace the assembly in the steel filter container (fig.
22), making sure the pin is inserted in the hole in the
support (see arrow in fig. 22).
• Finally, screw on the cap.
Failure to clean as described above invalidates the
guarantee.
CLEANING THE BOILER OUTLET
About every 300 coffees, the boiler outlet must be
cleaned as follows:
• Make sure the appliance is not hot and that it is
unplugged from the mains;
• Using a screwdriver, unscrew the screw fixing the
espresso boiler outlet (fig. 23);
• Clean the boiler with a damp cloth (fig.24);
• Clean the outlet thoroughly in hot water using a
brush.
Make sure the holes are not blocked. If necessary,
clean with a pin (fig. 20).
• Rub the boiler outlet while rinsing under the tap.
• Replace the espresso boiler outlet, making sure the
gasket is correctly positioned.
Failure to clean as described above invalidates the
guarantee.
OTHER CLEANING OPERATIONS
1.Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean
the coffee maker. A soft damp cloth will suffice.
2.Clean the filter holder cup, filters, drip tray and water
tank regularly.
The drip tray has a red indicator which becomes
visible when the tray needs emptying.
To empty, remove the cup grille (fig. 25), empty the
water and clean the tray with a cloth. Replace the
drip tray, making sure the indicator is correctly
positioned.
Clean the tank, using a brush to reach the bottom.
IMPORTANT: Never immerse the appliance in water. It
is an electrical appliance.
DESCALING
You are recommended to descale the coffee machine
about every 200 coffees.
You should use a commercially available product
specifically for descaling espresso coffee machines.
If such a product is not available, proceed as follows.
1.Fill the tank with one litre of water;
2.Dissolve 2 spoonfuls (about 30 grams) of citric acid
(obtainable from chemist's or drug stores);
3.Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF
button (the light on the button comes on) (fig. 4) and
wait for the light to come on.
4.Make sure the filter holder is not attached and
position a recipient under the boiler outlet.
5.Press the coffee button (fig. 6) and run off half
the solution in the tank. To stop delivery, press the
coffee button again.
6.Leave the solution to work for about 15 minutes, then
run off the rest of the water in the tank.
7.To eliminate residues of solution and scale, rinse the
tank well, fill with clean water and replace in
position.
8.Press the coffee button (fig. 6) and run off the water
until the tank is completely empty;
9.Press the coffee button again (fig. 6) and repeat
operations 7 and 8.
Repair of damage to the coffee machine caused by
scale is not covered by the guarantee unless descaling
is performed regularly as described above.
