7 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
A regular and accurate care is very important for the performance, the longevity and the safety of your machine.
Caution!
Always switch off the machine (power switch in lower position), disconnect the power cord and let
the machine cool down to room temperature (for at least 40 minutes) before cleaning.
7.1 General cleaning
Daily cleaning:
Filter holder, filters, water tank, drip tray, drip plate of the drip tray require daily cleaning. Clean with warm water
and/or with a food safe detergent.
Clean the shower screen and the group gasket in the lower part of the group and remove visible dirt without
dissasembling the parts.
Cleaning as necessary:
Clean the steam and hot water valve after every use.
Clean the body when the machine is switched off and cold.
Depending on usage, please refresh the boiler water every 2 – 3 weeks by operating the pump switch and extracting
about 0.8L of hot water from the steam wand and brew group.
Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.
Never use abrasive or chloric detergents!
Empty the water drip tray regularly and do not wait until it is full.
7.2 Brew group cleaning and degreasing
A brew group cleaner (in powder or tablet form) is available at your specialised dealer. With this detergent, you can
clean and degrease the group very easily. The cleaning is carried out by using the blind filter included with delivery.
The group cleaning with the ECM cleaning tablets can be carried out every week
Follow the instructions as noted below:
1 Heat up the machine. It is not necessary to switch on the steam boiler.
2 Place the blind filter into the filter holder.
3 Put a cleaner (in powder or tablet form) into the filter holder.
4 Clamp the filter holder into the brew group.
5 Operate the group lever. The blind filter will fill with water.

lower position.)

the infusion cylinder.
