Cleaning and maintenance

Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations, turn the machine off, unplug it from the power socket and allow it to cool down.

Cleaning the filter holder

About every 200 coffees, clean the filter holder of ground coffee as follows:

•Remove the filter with crema enhancer

•Clean the inside of the filter holder. Never wash in a dishwasher.

•Remove the crema enhancer cup (fig. 23) by unscrewing in the direction indicated by the arrow on the cap.

•Remove the crema enhancer from the container by pushing it from the cap end (fig. 24).

•Remove the gasket (fig. 25).

•Rinse all components and clean the metal filter thoroughly in hot water using a brush (fig. 26). Make sure the holes in the metal fil- ter are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin (see fig. 27) or, preferably, by burning the particles obstructing the holes over a flame (TAKE CARE TO AVOID BURNS).

•Replace the filter and gasket on the plastic disk as shown in fig. 28. Make sure to insert the pin on the plastic disk into the hole in the gasket indicated by the arrow in fig. 28.

•Replace the assembly in the steel filter container (fig. 29), making sure the pin is inserted in the hole in the support (see arrow in fig. 29).

•Finally, screw on the cap.

Failure to clean as described above invalidates the guarantee.
