CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out any cleaning operations let the appliance cool down and unplug it from the power outlet.

CLEANING THE FILTER

About every 300 coffees, or if coffee comes out of the filter holder in drips or if coffee never comes out completely, clean the ground coffee filter-holder as follows:

Remove the filter from the filter-holder.

Unscrew the filter cap (Fig. 18) in the direction indicated by the arrow on the cap itself.

Remove the froth dispenser from the container by pushing it from cap end.

Remove the gasket.

Rinse all the components and clean the metal filter thoroughly in warm water using a brush (Fig. 19). Check to make sure that the holes of the metal filter are not obstructed. If necessary, clean using a pin (see Fig. 20).

Replace the filter and gasket on the plastic disk as shown in Figure 21.

Make sure to insert the pin on the plastic disk into the hole in the gasket indicated by the arrow in Fig. 21.

Place this assembly in the steel filter container (Fig. 22); making sure the pin is inserted into the hole in the support (see arrow Fig. 22).

Screw on the cap.

Failure to clean as described above invalidates the warranty.

CLEANING THE BOILER OUTLET

About every 300 coffees, it is necessary to clean the espresso boiler outlet as follows:

Make sure the coffee maker is not hot and that the plug is disconnected.

Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screw that fastens the espresso boiler outlet (Fig. 23).

Clean the boiler using a damp cloth (Fig. 24).

Clean the outlet thoroughly with warm water and a brush.

Check to make sure that the holes are not obstructed. If necessary, clean using a pin (Fig. 20).

Rinse the outlet under the tap while brushing.

Re-assemble the espresso boiler outlet, making sure

the gasket is positioned correctly.

Failure to clean as described above invalidates the warranty.

OTHER CLEANING OPERATIONS

1.Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the appliance. A soft damp cloth is sufficient.

2.Clean the filter-holder, filters, drip tray, and water tank regularly.

The drip tray has a red indicator that pops up from the cup tray when the water level of the tray is getting too high.

To empty, remove the cup tray grille (Fig. 25), eliminate the water, and clean the tray with a cloth. Then re-assemble the drip tray, making sure that the indicator is positioned correctly.

Clean the tank using a bottle brush to better reach

the bottom.

CAUTION: During cleaning, never immerse the coffee

maker in water: it is an electrical appliance.
