Cleaning the drip tray and condensate tray

If you make a number of cappuccinos one after the other, the metal cup tray becomes hot.

Wait for it to cool down before touching it and handle it from the front only.

To clean (with the machine on):

Remove the drip tray (fig. 26), empty and clean.

Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly to remove all residues left on the bottom. This can be done with the spatula on the brush provided.

Check the condensate tray (red) and empty if necessary.

Cleaning the inside of the coffee maker 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.
