8.8 Cleaning operations
8.8.1 General instructions
A few simple cleaning tasks are required to have a perfectly
sanitised and efcient appliance. The instructions provided
here apply when the machine is being used on a regular basis.
If the machine is used consistently, cleaning should be per-
formed more frequently.
Do not use alkaline cleaners, solvents, alcohol or
aggressive substance-based products (e.g. phos-
phoric, citric or sulfamic acids). The products/
cleaners used must be suitable for this purpose and not cor-
rode the water circuit elements.
Do not use abrasive cleaners which may scratch the body-
work’s surface.
Always use clean and sanitised cloths when cleaning.
When washing the lters, lter holders and all machine
components, use Manufacturer-supplied cleaners or prod-
ucts specic for cleaning professional coffee machines.
