Cleaning the drip tray

Attention!

The drip tray is equipped with a floating water level indicator (red) (A11). As soon as this indicator starts protruding from the cup tray, empty the tray and clean it, otherwise the water may overflow and damage the machine, and the surrounding work-top.

1.Remove the drip tray (fig. 26).

2.Remove the cup tray, dispose of the water (fig. 27) and clean the tray using a cloth: then re-assemble the drip tray.

3.Re-insert the drip tray.

Cleaning the coffee filters

Regularly clean the coffee filters rinsing them under running water. Check that the holes are not blocked. If they are, clean them using a pin (fig. 28).

Cleaning the boiler outlet

Rinse the boiler outlet every 200 coffees delivered, by delivering 0.5l of water from the boiler outlet (place a cup under the boiler outlet and then press either the 1 or 2 cup coffee button to deliver a coffee without using coffee powder).

Cleaning the milk container

Clean the milk container after each milk preparation, as described below:

1.Extract the lid.

2.Remove the milk spout tube and the intake tube (fig. 29).

3.Remove the froth regulator by by pulling it out (fig. 30).

4.Carefully clean all components using hot water and a mild detergent. All components can be washed in the dishwasher by positioning them on the upper rack of the dishwasher. Pay particular attention that milk residues do not remain inside the holes and in the groove on the narrow part of the froth regulator.

5.Also check that the intake tube and the milk spout tube are not obstructed by milk residues.

6.Re-assemble the froth regulator, the milk spout tube and the milk intake tube.
