8 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The cleaning and maintenance of the ex-
ternal components of the machine must be
carried out with the main selector switch in
the “1” position or in the “2”position and
with the plug disconnected from the elec-
trical socket.
Before carrying out any cleaning or main-
tenance operation on the machine, wear
Personal Protective Equipment (gloves,
glasses, etc.) that has been established by
the safety norms in force in the country of
use of the machine.
During the Cleaning or Maintenance works, follow as de-
scribed below:
• Wearprotectivegloves;

protections and covers removed or opened.
Periodically remove the water tank and rinse it with clean
water then put it back properly in its place.
Note: The stainless materials, plastic mate-
rials, the rubber used in the construction of
the said parts and their particular shape
facilitate cleaning, but do not stop the for-
mation of bacteria and mould in the case of
insucient cleaning.
It is forbidden to clean or carry out mainte-
nance of the machine with the selector
switch in the “1” and “2” position with the
plug inserted into the wall socket.
8.1 Daily cleaning
Clean the water dispensers and the undercup gaskets of the
dispensing units by utilising a cloth or a sponge.
8.2 Weekly cleaning
Clean the groups and the brew head lters:
a) Approximately put a spoonful of the machine’s deter-
gent (the most suitable product for cleaning the units
and the water dispensers of coee machines) into the
empty lter supplied and use it to clean the unit.
b) operate the machine as you usually do when making cof-
fee,forabout5sec;
c) turn the brewing switch on and o, until water comes
out clean and without any foam.
Repeat operations b) and c) above a couple of times.
Clean lters and lter holders:
• Dipltersandlterholdersinasolutionofhotwaterand
approx,threesmallspoonfulsorspecialcoeemachine
detergent;
• Afterabouthalfanhourtakethemoutandrinsethem
carefully under running water.
Clean the steam pipes:
We recommend cleaning them right after use by making
some steam come out to help clean the inside of the spout,
and wiping the outer surface with a damp doth.
This operation prevents scaling which can clog the holes of
the spray nozzle from building up and it also prevents previ-
ously brewed drinks from altering the taste or the drink you
are making.
Clean the draining tray:
• Take outthe steel water-collectingtray located under
thecupgridsandcleanit;
• Checkandcleanthesmallplasticdrainingbasinaswell.
Clean the machine’s body:
• Useadampcloth;
• Donotuseanyalcoholand/orsolventsonthewrittenon
painted parts in order to avoid damaging them.
Periodically, depending on the amount of coee dispensed
or the use of the steam or hot water dispensers, carry out:
• Thepuricationofthewatersoftener.
• Regeneratetheresinsofthewatersoftenerusingsalt.
• Checktheltersofthelterholders,thewaterdispens-
ers and the gaskets for wear and substitute if necessary
or call a technician to substitute them.
• Unscrewtheendofthesteamdispenser/sandwashit/
them with the appropriate product and always thor-
oughly rinse before reutilising.
