Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to
clean the coffee maker�

not use chemical products to clean the machine�
The descaler recommended by De'Longhi is made from
natural and completely biodegradable substances�
• None of the components can be washed in a dishwasher.
• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces�
Cleaning the coffee grounds container
When the light flashes, the coffee grounds container
must be emptied and cleaned�

to flash and the appliance cannot be used to make coffee�
To clean (with the machine on):
• Remove the drip tray (fig. 24), empty and clean.

remove all residues left on the bottom�
• Also check the condensate tray (red) and empty if
necessary�

When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be
emptied, even if it contains few grounds�
If this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the
grounds container may fill up more than expected and clog the
machine�

Cleaning the drip tray and condensate tray

Important!
If the drip tray is not emptied regularly, the water could
overflow from the edge and seep inside or around the coffee
maker� This could damage the machine, the surface it rests on
or the surrounding area�
The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (red) showing the
level of water it contains (fig� 25)�
Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray, the drip tray
must be emptied and cleaned�
To remove the drip tray:
1� Remove the drip tray and the grounds container (fig� 24);
2� Empty the drip tray and grounds container and wash
them;
3� Check the condensate tray and empty if necessary�
4� Replace the drip tray and grounds container�

off (see "Turning off") and unplugged from the mains power
supply. Never immerse the coffee maker in water.
1� Check regularly (about once a month) that the inside of
the appliance (accessible after removing the drip tray)
is not dirty� If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a
sponge�
2� Remove the residues with a vacuum cleaner (fig� 26)�
