CLEANING
Important!
•Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean the appliance. With De’Longhi superautomatic coffee makers, you need not use chemical products to clean the machine.
•None of the components can be washed in a dishwasher.
•Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
Cleaning the coffee maker
The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:
-coffee grounds container (A18),
-drip tray (A16),
-the inside of the machine, accessible after opening the service door (A19),
-water tank (A13),
-coffee spouts (A20) and hot water nozzle (A11),
-
-infuser (A12)
Cleaning the coffee grounds container
When “EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER” is displayed, the grounds container must be emptied and cleaned.
Until the grounds container has been cleaned, the appliance continues to display the message and coffee cannot be made. Even if not full, the empty grounds container message is displayed 72 hours after the last coffee has been prepared. For the 72 hours to be calculated correctly, the machine must never be turned off with the main switch in the 0 position.
To clean (with the machine on):
•Open the service door on the front of the appliance (fig.
23), extract the drip tray (fig. 24), empty and clean.
•Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly to re- move all residues left on the bottom.
Important!
When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be emptied, even if it contains few grounds.
If this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the grounds container may fill up more than expected and clog the machine.
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.
