11 Cleaning and maintenance
Before performing any cleaning operations, leave the appliance to cool down, switch off the main switch
and unplug from the mains socket.
Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products to clean the appliance. A soft damp cloth will suffice.
NEVER wash ANY of the components of the appliance in a dishwasher.
11.1 Cleaning the coffee maker
Clean the grounds container (as described in chapter 5, note 7) whenever it requires emptying.
The water tank should also be cleaned regularly.
The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (red) showing the level of water it contains.
When the indicator starts to become visible (a few millimetres under the drip tray), the drip tray must be
emptied and cleaned.
Check that the holes in the coffee spout are not blocked. To unblock them, scrape the dry coffee residues
away with a needle (fig. 23).
11.2 Cleaning the infuser
The infuser must be cleaned regularly to avoid the build-up of coffee encrustations which could cause
malfunction.
Proceed as follows:
• turn the appliance off by rotating the knob counter-clockwise (fig. 4) (do not switch off the main
switch or unplug) and wait for the display to go off;
• open the service door (fig. 12);
• remove the drip tray and the grounds container (fig. 13) and clean;
• press the two red release buttons on the infuser sideways and towards the centre (fig. 24) and pull it
out;
•IMPORTANT:THE INFUSER CAN ONLY BE REMOVED WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS OFF.
ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE INFUSER WITH THE APPLIANCE ON MAY CAUSE SERIOUS
DAMAGE.
