14 Cleaning and Care
To ensure consistent coffee quality and faultless operation, always keep your coffee machine clean.
14.1Regular cleaning
1Caution! Before cleaning, switch off the coffee machine and allow it to cool down.
1Note! Never put the coffee machine or separate parts of the coffee machine in the dishwasher. Never immerse the coffee maker in water.
1Note! Never put water in the coffee bean container, as this would damage the grinder.
1Do not use any abrasive, scouring or corrosive cleaning materials. Wipe the inside and outside of the case only with a damp cloth.
0Remove the water tank daily (Fig. 6) and discard any remaining water. Rinse out the water tank with fresh water. Use fresh water every day.
0Empty the waste coffee container daily or at the latest when the display prompts you to do so; see „Emptying the waste coffee container“, page 50.
0Regularly drain the drip tray. This can be done at any time, but must be done when the red drip tray float (Fig. 28) appears through the opening in the drip grid.
0Regularly (at least once per week) clean the water tank (N), drip tray (O), drip grid (A) and waste coffee con- tainer (Q) with warm water, a mild washing up liquid and possibly a brush.
0Each time the machine is used for frothing, remove the steam nozzle and clean off any milk residues, see „Clean- ing the steam nozzle“, page 45.
0Check that the holes in the coffee dis- penser are not blocked. To unblock them, scrape any dry coffee residues away with a needle (Fig. 29).
14.2Emptying the waste coffee container
The appliance counts the number of coffees made. Every 14 single coffees
(or 7 doubles) the appliance displays the message: «EMPTY WASTE COFFEE CONTAINER» to indicate that the waste coffee container is full and must be emptied and cleaned. Until the waste coffee container has been cleaned, the appliance continues to display the message and cannot make coffee.
0To clean it, unlock and open the service door by pushing the respective button (Fig. 30), then remove the drip tray (Fig. 31), and empty and clean it.
0Empty the waste coffee container and clean it thoroughly, making sure that all residues deposited on the bottom are removed.
Important: Each time you pull out the drip tray, the waste coffee container must also be emptied, even if it is not completely full. If this is not done, when coffee is next made, the grounds in the container may exceed the maxi- mum level and block the appliance.
3When you have removed the waste container, the display shows «INSERT WASTE COFFEE CONTAINER».
3When the coffee machine is in daily use, empty the container daily. Always empty the container with the coffee machine switched on, otherwise the coffee machine does not register that the container has been emptied.
14.3Cleaning the grinder
Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove ground coffee residues from the coffee beans container.
1Note! Never put water in the grinder. This would damage the grinder.
0Press the "On/Off" key (Fig. 11) and the main switch (Fig. 8) to switch off the coffee machine. Unplug it from the mains socket.
