Cleaning the classic pannarello

After preparing milk-based beverages, clean the classic pannarello.
1 Remove the classic pannarello (fig. 25).
2 Remove the plastic handle of the classic pannarello from the steam wand (fig. 27).
3 Rinse with using fresh water.
4 Clean the steam wand using a damp cloth.
5 Insert the plastic handle and the classic pannarello into the steam wand once again (fig. 27).

Cleaning the pressurized filter holder

1 Remove the pre-ground coffee filter or the coffee pod filter from the filter holder and rinse it
thoroughly using hot water.
2 If present, remove the adapter from the filter holder and rinse it thoroughly using hot water.
3 Rinse the pressurized filter holder both inside and outside using hot water (fig. 13).
Warning: Do not wash the pressurized filter holder in a dishwasher so as to avoid damaging it.

Descaling

Use Gaggia descaling solution only. Under no circumstances should you use a descaling solution
based on sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfamic or acetic acid (vinegar) as this may damage the
water circuit in your machine and not dissolve the limescale properly. Not using the Gaggia descaling
solution will void your
warranty. Failure to descale the appliance will also void your warranty
.

Descaling procedure

1 Insert the pressurized filter holder into the coffee brewing unit.
2 Remove the water tank and empty it.
3 Pour half of the descaling solution into the water tank. Fill the tank with fresh water up to the
maximum level (MAX) graduation mark. Put the tank back into the machine.

position (fig.7). Move the selection knob back to the standby position and turn the hot water/steam
knob clockwise to stop dispensing.
7 Switch the power button to "O" to turn off the machine.
8 Let the descaling solution take effect for 15-20 minutes with the machine turned off.
