Important!
Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean
the coffee machine.
Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
None of the components of the appliance can be washed in
a dishwasher with the exception of the drip tray (A11) and
cup grilles (A8) and (A9).
If the appliance is not used for more than a week, before
using it again, we recommend you perform a rinse cycle.
Danger!
While cleaning, never immerse the coffee maker in water. It
is an electrical appliance.
Before cleaning the outside of the appliance, turn it off,
unplug from the mains socket and allow to cool.

5.2 Cleaning the drip tray

The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (A12) (fig. 7) showing
the amount of water it contains. Before the indicator protrudes from
the cup tray, the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned, otherwise
the water may overflow the edge and damage the appliance, the
surface it rests on or the surrounding area.
1. Remove the drip tray (fig. 8).

The coffee filters are designed to
obtain the best possible coffee
extraction and crema. For best
results, the filters must always
be clean and free from all coffee
residues.
