11. CLEANING

11.1 Cleaning the machine

The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:
• the appliance's internal circuit;
• coffee grounds container (A17);
• drip tray (A19) and condensate tray (A16);
• water tank (A14);
• coffee spouts (A9);
.
(or press
• pre-ground coffee funnel (A4);
• infuser (A12), accessible after opening the door (A11);
• milk container (D);
• hot water/steam connection nozzle (A10);
• hot water spout (C6).
Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean
to in-
the coffee machine. With De'Longhi superautomatic coffee
machines, no chemical products are required for cleaning
purposes.
• None of the components of the machine can be washed in
a dishwasher, except for the milk container (D).
• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.

11.2 Cleaning the internal circuit

If the appliance is not used for more than 3/4 days, before using
it again, we strongly recommend switching it on and:
• performing 2/3 rinse cycles (see section "6.1 Rinsing");
• delivering hot water for a few seconds (section "10. Deliv-
ering hot water").
Please note:
After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A17) to
contain water.

11.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container

The display (B1) indicates when the grounds container (A17)
is full. The appliance cannot be used to make coffee until you
have cleaned the grounds container. Even if not full, the empty
grounds container message is displayed 72 hours after the first
coffee has been prepared. For the 72 hours to be calculated
(B3) or
correctly, the machine must always be connected to the mains
power supply.
To clean (with the machine on):
• Remove the drip tray (A19) (fig. 19), empty and clean.
• Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly to re-
move all residues left on the bottom. This can be done with
the spatula on the brush (C5) provided.
