11. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

All maintenance and cleaning procedures, especially for the tank, must
be carried out after disconnecting the power supply and having
waited for the tank to cool off.
The tank must be thoroughly cleaned in order to prevent the limescale that
deposits on the bottom from being sucked into the boiler, causing
obstructions inside the circuits. This could block the solenoid valve, and also
reduce the flow of water in the pipes and in the dispensing unit, affecting the
result of the coffee dispensed in the cup.
For general cleaning procedures use an everyday detergent or a water and
vinegar solution. The use of non-aggressive detergents is recommended.
Always remember to rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
The filter holder and filters must be cleaned by soaking them in a solution of
water and baking soda or a specific detergent for coffee machines.
Afterwards, they must be rinsed with running water.
Check if the filter installed under the dispensing unit is encrusted with coffee. If
so, take the filter holder handle, remove the filter, and replace it temporarily
with the blind filter supplied with the machine. Put a spoonful of coffee
machine detergent in the blind filter, then insert the filter holder under the
dispensing unit.
When the machine is ready for use, raise the dispenser lever, for about 10
seconds, and then lower it for another 10 seconds. Repeat 5 times.
Immediately after, remove the blind filter from the filter holder. Using the lever,
let enough hot water only flow through to eliminate all impurities that have
dissolved in it. As a final step, make 1 espresso, which must then be thrown
away.
Regularly clean the bottom of the tank (fig. 2, tab. 2) in order to remove all
limescale residues and prevent the machine from unexpected malfunctioning.
