15.3 Cleaning the Drip Tray and Used Water Tray:

•The drip tray is fitted with a red level indicator, showing the level of the water inside.

•When the indicator is visible, the drip tray and used water tray must be

emptied and cleaned.

• Wash the drip tray and used water tray with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

• Replace the used water tray and drip tray.

15.4 Cleaning the Coffee Spout:
• Check that the holes in the coffee spout are not blocked.	Figure 21
• To clean them, carefully scrape the dry coffee residues from the coffee
spout with a needle (Figure 21).
15.5 Cleaning the Milk Frother:
Note: The milk frother must be cleaned after each use. Deactivate the
steam function before cleaning. Please proceed as follows (the machine
must be on during the cleaning of the milk frother):
•Release a little steam for a few seconds by turning the steam control dial
counter-clockwise until it stops. (Figure 7).
•With this operation, the steam nozzle discharges any milk that may have
been left inside. IMPORTANT: For health reasons, this operation should
always be performed to prevent previously used milk from remaining inside
the milk frother.	Figure 22

•With one hand, hold the milk frother handle and with the other hand unscrew the milk frother by turning it clockwise and then pull it down. (Figure 22)

•Carefully wash the milk frother and steam nozzle in warm water.

• Check that the two holes (indicated by the arrows in Figure 23) are not clogged. If necessary, clean them using a needle or pin.

•Replace the steam nozzle by inserting it and vigorously turning it upwards into the steam spout.

•Replace the milk frother by pushing it upwards and turning it counter-

clockwise.

15.6 Cleaning the Brewing System:

Warning: The brewing system can only be removed when the machine is off. Attempting to remove the brewing system with the machine on will risk causing damage.

Note: The brewing system must be cleaned very frequently (depending on use) to prevent it from filling with coffee deposits (that may lead to malfunctions). To clean it, proceed as follows:

•Make sure the machine is turned off, but do not unplug it. Wait for all indicator lights to go off.

•Open the service door.

•Remove the drip tray and used coffee container and clean them (as noted above)

•Press the two red release buttons on the brewing system (Figure 24) and pull it out.

•Wash the brewing system under running water, without using detergents. Never place the brewing system in the dishwasher.
