CLEANING AND CARE

CLEANING THE MACHINE
Each time you use the machine, you should clean and dry it before putting it away.
The filter basket and the backwater tank can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Remove the filters before washing.
Clean the outside surface of the machine with a damp cloth.
Do not use detergents or dripping wet cloths.
EXTERNAL FILTERS
The polyester filters of the filter basket should be cleaned and dried after every use.
Periodically, check the bottom filter. If necessary, clean it with cold water. Dry it before putting it back in place.
Periodically, check the antistatic filter (side filter) and, if necessary, replace it.
Keep the polyester filters clean (bottom filter, filter basket).
DECALCIFYING THE BOILER
The minerals present in your water, and especially calcium, can leave a build-up on the walls of the boiler. Over time,
this can cause the appliance to operate poorly (longer heating times, greater use of energy, blockage of some tubes).
To prevent this from happening, the boiler should be decalcified periodically. With the appliance unplugged and cold,
empty the boiler by opening the cap in the lower part of the appliance with the valve seat wrench. Close the cap.
Fill the cold tank with 1/2 glass of white vinegar mixed with 750 cc of water. Turn the main on/off switch and the boiler
on/off switch to the "on" position. Wait for the "steam ready" indicator light to turn on. At this point, shut the appliance
off, empty the boiler and rinse with plenty of water. Do not hook up any accessories or turn on the steam supply at
any time during decalcification!
ENERGY SAVING SUGGESTIONS
To get the best performance out of your machine and avoid unnecessary energy waste, please follow the indications
provided below.
Do not turn the boiler on if you are only going to use the suction function.
Periodically clean (decalcify) the boiler. Mineral build-up on the heating element limits its efficiency.
See to proper filter maintenance (cleaning and replacement).
