CLEANING

Cleaning the machine

The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:
- coffee grounds container (A14),
- drip tray (A18) and condensate tray (A15),
- water tank (A10),
- coffee spouts (A13) and hot water nozzle (A20),
- pre-ground coffee funnel (A6),
- inside of the machine, accessible after opening the infuser
door (A11),

Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to cle-
an the appliance. With De'Longhi superautomatic bean to
cup espresso and cappuccino machines, you need not use
chemical products to clean the machine.
• 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 "EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER" is displayed, the groun-
ds 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.
To clean (with the machine on):
• Remove the drip tray (fig. 23), 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 provided.
• Check the condensate tray and empty if necessary .
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 and condensate tray

Important!
The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (red) showing the
level of water it contains (fig. 24). Before the indicator protru-
des from the cup tray, the drip tray must be emptied and clea-
ned, otherwise the water may overflow the edge and damage
the appliance, the surface it rests on or the surrounding area.
To remove the drip tray:
1. Remove the drip tray and grounds container (fig. 23);
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 complete with grounds container.

Cleaning the inside of the coffee machine

Danger of electric shock!
Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must be turned off
(see "Turning off") and unplugged from the mains power sup-
ply. Never immerse the coffee machine in water.
1. Check regularly (about once a week) that the inside of the
appliance (accessible after removing the drip tray) is not
dirty. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with the brush
supplied and a sponge.
2. Remove the residues with a vacuum cleaner (fig. 25).

Cleaning the water tank

1. Clean the water tank (A10) regularly (about once a month)
and whenever you replace the water softener filter (if pro-
vided) with a damp cloth and a little mild washing up
liquid.
2. Remove the filter (if present) and rinse with running wa-
ter.
3. Replace the filter (if provided), fill the tank with fresh wa-
ter and replace the tank.

Cleaning the coffee spouts

1. Clean the coffee spouts with a sponge or cloth (fig. 26A).
2. Check the holes in the coffee spout are not blocked. If
necessary, remove coffee deposits with a toothpick (fig.
26B).

Cleaning the pre-ground coffee funnel

Check regularly (about once a month ) that the pre-ground
coffee funnel (A6) is not blocked. If necessary, remove coffee
deposits with the brush supplied (C2).
