Keeping it clean:
1IMPORTANT: the steam nozzle should be cleaned after each use in order to avoid build up of milk deposits that are very difficult to clean. Cleaning is made easy as can be seen in the DESCRIPTION OF PARTS. The outer part of nozzle can be removed by pulling downward.
The outside of the steam pipe can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
The steam jet is cleaned by running a shot of steam through it.
The hole in the steam nozzle must be kept open. A needle may be used.
2Clean filter holder and filter in warm water after use.
3Wipe body of machine with a damp cloth as required.
4Remove basin and grid (12, 23) and rinse with water. Do not use abrasive substan- ces.
5Clean the seal (15) inside of the brewing head (14) and keep it clean.
Pay attention as the
nozzle could be hot!
Air intake to be kept clean

(25)clockwise. Press steam switch (5) until completely discharged. Close the steam knob (25) by turning it counterclockwise and switch off the machine.
Never run the pump without water.

Be certain to empty drip tray (12) as requi- red.
Descaling:
In hard water areas, minerals found in the water will accumulate and affect operation of the unit.
Approximately every two months (this can vary depending on use and water condition), clean the machine with Gaggia descaler (in which case follow the instructions on the packet).
Remove shower disc (17) and clean.
Dilute the solution before pouring it into the tank. Pour the solution into the coffee dispensing group and into the steam nozzle for a few seconds.
Wait 20 minutes, then repeat. process until solution has been run through. Rinse machine thoroughly by running plain cold water through machine. Replace shower disc (17).
NOTE: Product failure due to scale accumu- lation is not covered by warranty. No other servicing should be attempted by the user. Use “Gaggia cleaner” for best results.
