CLEANING OF THE MACHINE
Always unplug the machine before cleaning and allow to cool down to avoid injury. Wipe the outside
of the machine with a clean damp cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners, or alcohol/solvent-
based cleaners to clean the machine. Use only gentle dishwashing liquid and warm water. After each
use, rinse out the water tank and empty before replacing in the machine.
When a thin white layer of powder starts to form in the tank, this is a sign that descaling is necessary.
See Section 9 for details on descaling. Please note that descaling should be performed periodically to
maintain optimum performance of your machine.
CLEANING OF THE DRIP TRAY
The drip tray must be emptied each time the machine is used. The presence of water in the drip tray is
normal and is not the sign of a leak. Lift up the tray slightly and pull out to remove from the machine. If
multiple espressos are prepared one after the other, the drip tray should be emptied every few espressos
to prevent overflowing. The red overflow indicators in the tray will float up and become visible to remind
you to empty the drip tray before it overflows. When emptying the drip tray, remove the metal tray and
rinse out the compartment below. If necessary, both the metal tray and the compartment can be cleaned
with warm water and a gentle dishwashing liquid. Rinse well and dry completely before replacing the drip
tray in the machine. Make sure when replacing the drip tray to push it all the way into the machine to avoid
leaking.
CLEANING OF THE BREWING HEAD AND FILTER HOLDER
Both the brewing head and filter holder should be cleaned after each use.
Wipe the brewing head with a clean damp cloth.
Wash the filter holder with warm water and a gentle dishwashing liquid. Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners, or alcohol/solvent-based cleaners to clean the brewing head or filter holder. When cleaning
the filter holder, hold under running water and press the "EJECT" button several times to remove all
remaining espresso grinds. Rinse well and dry carefully. When not using the espresso machine, do not
store the filter holder in the locked position. This will avoid unnecessary wear to the seal.
For more thorough cleaning, disassemble the filter holder:
Remove the black plastic part with the coffee outlets and "EJECT" button by turning it to the left and
pulling (fig.22). Rinse the various components under running water. If necessary, use gentle
dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry all components well before re-assembling. Replace the black plastic
part, and turn to the right until the two arrows line up.
If the brewing head is heavily clogged, unscrew the grid using a screwdriver, rinse well, dry, and then
replace in the machine.
CLEANING OF THE STEAM WAND AND FROTHING NOZZLE
To clean the steam wand, unclip the frothing nozzle by pulling on the black ring downwards (fig.16).
To clean completely, disassemble into three separate components: the inner tube, outer tube, and
stainless steel shield. To remove the inner tube, unscrew the end of the nozzle, then remove the
stainless steel shield. Clean all three components under warm running water and use a small amount
of gentle dishwashing liquid if necessary (fig.17). Rinse well and dry completely before re-assembling.
Ensure that the black plastic ring is pointing downwards, then replace the frothing nozzle on the steam
wand by pushing gently upwards until it clicks into place (fig.18).
