CLEANING
For perfect cleaning and efficiency of the appliance, several simple cleaning operations are necessary on the functional
parts and accessories as well as the body panels. The indications given here are applicable for normal use of the coffee
machine. If the machine is heavily used then cleaning should be performed more frequently.
Filter and filter-holder
The filters and the relative filter-holders must be cleaned daily in hot water. The best
thing to do is to let them soak in hot water overnight so that the oily coffee deposits
can dissolve.
It is advisable to add a specific detergent into the water, and then to rinse everything
off with fresh water.
Failure to clean the filters and filter-holders daily will compromise the quality of
the coffee and will also cause problems such as bad extraction and coffee grounds
at the bottom of the cup.
Perforated disk and containment ring
Both the shower plate (1) and its containment ring (2) should be cleaned weekly
in hot water. To do this,take off the screw (3) and remove the two elements from
the dispensing unit.
Steam nozzles
The steam pipes must be kept clean at all times. Check the ends of the steam noz-
zles and clean them monthly, clearing out the exit holes with a needle.
Brewing groups
Cleaning of the internal parts of the brewing groups is to be performed weekly as following:
• Replace the filter from the filter-holder with the blind one supplied by the manufacturer;
• Pour a teaspoon of a suitable detergent powder on the blind filter, and attach the
filter-holder to the group;
• Use the manual delivery switch to set the group in operation;
• Repeat the above operations until the water comes out clean;
• Turn off and remove the filter-holder from the group;
• Rinse a final time, so as to remove any residual detergent.
Body
The body panels should be cleaned with a cloth soaked in warm water. Do not use abrasive detergents since the panels could
get scratched.
Grinder doser
Clean weekly the hopper and the doser with a cloth soaked in lukewarm water, both inside and out.
