rectly positioned.

Other cleaning operations

1. Do not use solvents or detergents when cleaning the coffee
maker. Use a soft, damp cloth.
2. Clean the filter holder cup, filters, drip tray and water tank
regularly.
The drip tray has a red indicator which becomes visible when
the tray needs emptying.
To empty, remove the cup grille (fig. 32), empty the water and
clean the tray with a cloth. Replace the drip tray, making sure
the indicator is correctly positioned.
Clean the tank, using a brush to reach the bottom.
ATTENTION: during cleaning, never immerse the unit in
water – it is an electrical appliance.
