of the machine.
To prevent lime-scale buildup, water treatment
lters can also be used. However, we recom-
mend cleaning in line with consumption. The
use of Coffee Washer lters helps prolong the
life of the coffee machine, keeping it in optimum
condition.
Attention
Cleaning of the machine’s internal circuit
should be carried out by a qualied tech-
nician. If it is not done correctly, cleaning
product may get into the steam/water boiler.
Consult your distributor.
3. Cleaning of the mobile lter holder
z Washer and gasket: weekly Use the spe-
cial Ascaso V.26 brush to clean the lter
holder washers and gaskets.
z Filters and lter holders: weekly. Prepare a
solution of 2 sachets of V.100 “Group de-
tergent” or 3 sachets of V.101 detergent
powder with 1/2 litre of boiling water in a
stainless steel, plastic or glass container.
It must not be made of aluminium or iron.
Immerse the lter holders and the lters in
the solution, leaving them for at least 20
minutes and preferably overnight. Next, re-
move the parts and rinse them in abundant
clean water.
z Internal components: weekly. Switch
the machine on and change the coffee
lter of the lter holder for the blind lter
supplied. Empty a sachet of V.100-code

place it in the group. Next, press the XL
button, letting the pump work for about
7 seconds. Stop by pressing the XL but-
ton again. Repeat 5 times at intervals of 3
seconds.This process dissolves the pow-
der contained in the blind lter, cleans the
ducts and the solenoid valve, along with
the showerheads and group dispensers.

often as required until clean water ap-
pears through the group dispenser.
Once complete, remove the lter holders
