6 Maintenance
Your IMPRESSA has the following integrated maintenance pro-
grammes:
Z Rinsing the machine
Z Changing the filter
Z Cleaning the machine
Z Descaling the machine
E Clean or descale the machine or change the filter when you
are prompted to do so.
To ensure that you get many years of reliable service out of your
IMPRESSA and to guarantee the optimum coffee quality, the
machine requires daily maintenance.
Proceed as follows:
Z Empty the coffee grounds container and the drip tray. Rinse
them with warm water.
Z Rinse the water tank with clean water.
Z Dismantle and rinse the frother (see Chapter 6, ‘Maintenance –
Dismantling and rinsing the cappuccino frother’).
Z Wipe the surface of the machine with a clean, soft, damp cloth
(e.g. microfibre cloth).
When the IMPRESSA is switched on, a prompt to perform rinsing
appears after heating, or this is automatically started. It can be set
in programming mode whether the switch-on rinse needs to be acti-
vated manually or whether the machine automatically activates the
switch-on rinse (see Chapter 5, ‘Permanent settings in program-
ming mode - Rinses’).
When the IMPRESSA is switched off, a rinse operation is automati-
cally initiated.
You can initiate the rinse operation manually at any time.
