12. CLEANING

12.1 Cleaning the machine

The following parts of the machine must be cleaned periodically:
• internal circuit;
• coffee grounds container (A11);
• drip tray (A15), condensate tray (A10), drip tray grille (A14)
and tray full indicator (A13);
• water tank (A17);
• coffee spouts (A9);
• pre-ground coffee funnel (A4);
• infuser (A20), accessible after opening the infuser flap
(A19);
• milk carafe (E);
• hot water connection nozzle (A8);
• control panel (C).
Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to
clean the machine. With De'Longhi superautomatic coffee
machines, no chemical additives are required for cleaning
purposes.
• None of the components of the appliance can be washed
in a dishwasher: the only exceptions are the drip tray grille
(A14), the milk carafe (E) and the drip tray (A15).

12.2 Cleaning the internal circuit

If the appliance is not used for more than 3/4 days, it is strongly
advisable when switching on again, before using it, to empty
the water and fill it with fresh drinking water, then run 2/3 rinse
cycles selecting the "Rinse" function (section "6.3 Rinse
Please note!
Water may find its way into the grounds container (A11) during
the above rinse procedure: this is quite normal.

12.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container

When "EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER" appears on the display,
the grounds container must be emptied and cleaned. Until the
the grounds container (A11) is repositioned, the machine can-
not make coffee. Even if the grounds container is not full, the
"Empty" warning message will be displayed 72 hours after the
first coffee has been prepared. For the 72 hours to be calculated
correctly, the machine must never be turned off with the main
switch (A22) (if the model has one).
Important! Danger of scalding
If several milk-based drinks are prepared one after the other,
the metal cup tray (A12) becomes hot. Wait for it to cool down
before touching it and handle it from the front only.
To clean (with the machine on):
1. Remove the drip tray (A15) and the grounds container
(A11)(fig. 21).
2. Empty the drip tray and grounds container and clean thor-
oughly to remove all residues left on the bottom. This can
be done using the spatula on the brush (D5) provided.
3. Check the condensate tray (A10) (colour red) and empty if
necessary.
4. Put the drip tray complete with grille and grounds contain-
er back in the appliance.
Important!
When removing the drip tray, the coffee grounds container must
always be emptied, even if it has not filled up noticeably. If this
is not done, it can happen that when further coffees are pre-
pared, the grounds container will fill up more than expected and
clog the machine.

12.4 Cleaning the drip tray and condensate tray

Important!
The drip tray (A15) is fitted with a level indicator (A13) (colour
red) showing the amount of water it contains (fig. 22). Before
the indicator protrudes from the cup tray, the drip tray (A12)
must be emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may over-
flow the edge and damage the appliance, the surface it rests on
or the surrounding area.
