Important!
•
Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean
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 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
correctly, the machine must always be connected to the mains
power supply.
To clean (with the machine on):
