CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
For correct operation and a high quality standard proper cleaning of the machine is recommended on a regular basis.
Procedures to be followed with cool and disconnected machine:
- water tank cleaning
- filter-holder cleaning; NB: cleaning and removal of any solid residue is more thorough if the filter is removed from the filter holder (fig. 21)
- brewing head (H2) cleaning; NB: clean with a damp cloth after having removed the filter-holder
- steam wand cleaning; NB: remove any milk residues on the wand, the air intake hole and the steam outlet hole thoroughly
- drip tray cleaning
- grill cleaning.
Procedures to be followed starting with the machine unplugged and cool:
To remove coffee oil residue from the brewing head that can spoil the aroma and taste of your espresso if they deposit and age, clean the machine every 30
days using a cleaning tablet to dissolve such residues. A sample of this product can be found inside the package.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the filter-holder handle (G) from the machine
2. Place a tablet in the filter
3. Replace the handle (G) with the tablet in the machine
4. Position a receptacle beneath the filter-holder, turn on the coffee switch (B) for 20 seconds and wait 60 seconds before turning on the coffee switch again.
During this 60-second break, turn the handle to the left and to the right and vice versa, several times to clean the seal as well
5. Repeat point 4 six times
6. Once the 6 cycles have been completed, make sure there are no tablet residues in the filter-holder
7. If there is any residue, make sure it is removed by removing the filter-holder from the machine, and washing it with hot water by turning on coffee
switch (B)
8. Turn off coffee switch (B)
9. Replace the filter-holder handle (G) in the machine
Important:
Remember to keep the steam wand clean from any milk residue both inside and outside the holes.
Clean the cappuccino maker immediately after every use by means of a sponge. The holes can be cleaned using a pin (fig. 16).
At night soak the filter-holder in a receptacle of water to keep it clean.
DESCALING
The need to remove limescale depends on the type of water used, the hours of machine operation and the number of coffees made.
Descaling is recommended every 2 months.
Do not use distilled or demineralised water to prepare coffee.
CAUTION: The use of our descaling product (fig. 22) is recommended. If limescale removal is not performed, it could cause defective operation, which is
not covered by the warranty. Vinegar, lye, salt, formic acid will damage the machine!
Descaling procedure:
Dilute the contents of a packet in 1 litre of water. Pour the solution in the water tank. Switch on the machine and flush through the equivalent of 2 to 3
cups. Wait 15 minutes and flush through 2 or 3 cups of solution at regular intervals until all water has been used. Repeat the operation until all the
solution has been used up. Then wash the tank, fill it with fresh water and flush again with clear water about ten times so that the boiler is completely
free from any residue. Caution: if descaling is not carried out regularly, it must be performed by an authorised assistance centre.
