About every 300 coffees, clean the filter holder for
ground coffee as follows:
• Remove the filter with the frother;
• Clean the inside of the filter holder. Never wash in a
dishwasher.
• Unscrew the cap of the frother (fig. 24) by rotating in
the direction indicated by the arrow on the cap.
• Remove the frother from the container by pushing it
from the cap end.
• Remove the gasket.
• Rinse all components and clean the metal filter
thoroughly in hot water using a brush (fig. 25). Make
sure the holes in the metal filter are not blocked. If
necessary, clean with a pin (see fig. 26).
• Replace the filter and gasket on the plastic disk as
shown in figure 27. Make sure to insert the pin on
the plastic disk into the hole in the gasket indicated
by the arrow in fig. 27.
• Replace the assembly into the steel filter container
(fig. 28), making sure the pin is inserted into the hole
in the support (see arrow in fig. 28).
• Finally, screw on the cap.

3.Remove the drip-trays, empty them and wash them
periodically
ATTENTION: during cleaning, never immerse the unit
in water – it is an electrical appliance.
DESCALING
It is advisable to clean the calcium from the machine
every 200 cups of coffee. It is recommended that
specific (store-bought) products for descaling of
espresso coffee machines be used. If such products are
not available, it is possible to proceed as follows:
1.Fill the tank with water using 1 liter of water;
2.Dissolve 2 spoonfuls (about 30 grams) of citric acid
in the water (available from chemists);
3.Turn the selector knob to the position and wait
until the ‘OK’ light comes on.
4.Check that the filter holder is not attached and place
a container under the outlet of the machine;
5.Turn the selector knob to the position and allow
half of the solution in the tank to flow out. Then stop
the flow by turning the selector to the “O” position.
(fig. 14).
6.Allow the solution to act for about 15 minutes, then
start up the flow again until the tank is completely
empty;
7.To eliminate the remains of the solution and the
calcium, rinse the tank well, fill it with clean water
and replace.
8.Turn the selector knob to the position and allow
all of the remaining solution in the tank to flow out
(fig. 8).
9.Turn the selector knob to the position (fig.5)
and repeat operations 7 and 8 one more time.
Repairs for malfunctioning caused by problems of
calcium build-up are not covered by the guarantee if
the descaling process described above is not carried
out regularly.
