CLEANING
Before cleaning the appliance, switch it off, remove the plug from the wall socket and wait
until it cools down. The filter, the filter holder, the carafe and its lid, the grid of the drip tray can
be washed in hot soapy water. Do not put them in the dish washer. Wipe the body of the
appliance with a damp cloth. Never immerse the body of the appliance in water or any other
liquid. Clean the support of the filter holder (e) with a damp cloth too in order to eliminate the
coffee residues. If there is still water in the tank, let the appliance cool down, remove the tank
cap (a), remove the different parts and empty the tank by turning the appliance on a sink in
order to empty the remaining water.
Cleaning of the steam pipe
Wash the steam pipe (d) after each use especially when it has been immersed in milk. If you
do not wash it, the inner side of the pipe can get blocked up and it will be difficult to remove
the milk residues around it. In case of obstruction of the pipe, use a needle to remove the milk
residues. Just after having lathered up the milk, wipe the body of the pipe with a damp cloth,
then keep the cloth against the opening of the steam outlet and put the steam control knob
(c) in position; let the steam escape for one or two seconds in order to throw out the milk
residues and then close the knob.
ATTENTION: PAY ATTENTION NOT TO GET BURNED WITH THE STEAM AND THE METAL PART OF THE
PIPE (WHICH MAY BE HOT).
Cleaning of the drip tray
In order to clean the drip tray (j) remove the grid (Fig.14).
Caution: Never try to open or to disassemble the body of the appliance.
Descaling the espresso maker
The espresso machine has to be descaled regularly. The frequency depends on the water
hardness and of the use frequency.
Before descaling the appliance, the filter grid of the support MUST be removed (fig. 15).
1. Remove the scale and the coffee residues from the filter grid and from the support of the
filter holder (e). It is recommended to use only liquid descaling agent that can be found in
shops and in the proportions indicated on the packing paper by the producer.
2. Fill the espresso carafe (i) with t
solution in the espresso tank. Place a container under the support of the filter holder (e)
and another one under the steam pipe (d) (Caution: do not use the filter holder (f) during
the descaling).
3. Press the ON/OFF switch (b) and turn the steam control knob (c) in the position. Wait
until steam comes out the opening of the pipe (d).
4. After approximately 30 seconds, stop the hot water flow by putting the steam control
knob (c) in OFF position and let the descaling solution flow through the support of the filter
holder in the container.
5. When the solution has finished flowing, switch off the appliance and let it cool down.
6. Repeat this operation a second time.
Then proceed in the same way but this time only with fresh water to rinse the inner side of the
circuit. For a good rinsing, the equivalent of two espresso tanks has to pass through the circuit.
Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the power supply. Let it cool down, put the
filter grid back in the support of the filter holder and screw it tight.
Caution: Never use vinegar like descaling agent.
