cleaning the coffee maker

The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:
- coffee grounds container (A9),
- drip tray (A12),
- inside the machine, accessible after opening the service
door (A13),
- water tank (A7),
- coffee spouts (A15) and hot water nozzle (A16),
- pre-ground coffee funnel (A4),
- infuser (A8),
- milk container (B)
- touch screen (C)
Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to cle-
an the coffee maker. With De'Longhi superautomatic cof-
fee makers, you need not use chemical products to clean
the machine.
• None of the components of the appliance can be washed
in a dishwasher with the exception of the milk container
(B).
• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
icon flashes, then release.

cleaning the coffee grounds container

When "EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER" is displayed, the grounds
container must be emptied and cleaned.
Until the grounds container has been cleaned, the appliance
continues to display the message and coffee cannot be made.
Even if not full, the empty grounds container message is displa-
yed 72 hours after the last coffee has been prepared. For the
72 hours to be calculated correctly, the machine must never be
turned off with the main switch in the 0 position.
To clean (with the machine on):
• Open the service door on the front of the appliance (fig.
33), extract the drip tray (fig. 34), empty and clean.
• Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly to
remove all residues left on the bottom. This can be done
with the spatula on the brush (A23) provided.
Important!
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 groun-
ds container may fill up more than expected and clog the ma-
chine.

cleaning the drip tray

Important!
If the drip tray is not emptied regularly, the water could over-
flow from the edge and seep inside or around the machine.
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. 35).
Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray, the drip tray
must be emptied and cleaned.
To remove the drip tray:
1. Open the service door (fig. 33);
2. Remove the drip tray and the grounds container (fig. 34);
3. Empty the drip tray and grounds container (A9) and wash
them;
4. Replace the drip tray complete with grounds container;
5. Close the service door.

cleaning the inside of the machine

Danger of electric shock!
Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must be turned
off (see "Turning off") and unplugged from the mains power
supply. Never immerse the coffee maker in water.
