cleaning the maxi cappuccino device
Warning!
Perform this operation when the chrome-plated pipe is cold so as to prevent burns.
Unscrew the device (E) from the small pipe and wash it with running water. The small pipe can be cleaned with a non-
abrasive cloth. Screw the cappuccino maker back on as far as it will go. If necessary, clean the small steam outlet hole
again with a pin. After use, always let the steam nozzle run for a few seconds so to free the outlet from any possible residue.
cleaning the tank
Periodically clean the inside of the tank with a sponge or damp cloth.
cleaning the grill and drip tray
remember to empty the drip tray from time to time (C).
Remove the grill (B) and wash it under running water; remove the drip tray (C) from the machine, empty it and wash it under
running water.
cleaning the machine body
Warning!
Clean the fixed parts of the machine using only a damp, non-abrasive cloth so as to not damage the body.
decAlcIFIcATIon
Good maintenance and regular cleaning preserve and keep the machine efficient for a longer amount of time, considerably
limiting the risks of lime deposits forming inside the appliance. However, should your coffee machine fail to work properly
as a result of the frequent use of hard, high calcium content water, you may perform a decalcification procedure to restore
its operational efficiency. For this purpose you must use only Ariete's NOCAL, citric acid-based decalcifying products. This
product is easily found at the Ariete technical service centres. Ariete does not assume any responsibility whatsoever for
damage to components inside the coffee machine caused by the use of non-compliant products containing chemical addi-
tives. Should you need to decalcify your appliance, please follow the instructions which come with the decalcifying product.
puTTIng ouT oF serVIce
If the machine is put out of service, electrically disconnect it. Empty the water tank. Use the handle to tilt the appliance
and make the water come out of the spout while paying close attention that the water does not dampen the switch area to
prevent infiltrations inside electrical parts. Empty the drip tray and clean it (see paragraph "Cleaning the appliance").
TroubleshooTIng

If there are problems with operation, immediately turn off the machine and unplug it from the socket-outlet.
