Putting Out Of Service - ARIETE Cafe Chic Manual

• Couple the filter holder to the machine and put a container underneath the filter holder.
• Press the coffee button to start dispensing water, and dispense the water for 15-20 seconds.
• Stop the water supply and let the tab act for at least 15 minutes while keeping the filter holder coupled on the machine.
• Repeat the water dispensing operation by operating the pump for about 15-20 seconds, and then letting it rest for another
15-20 seconds, until two tanks of water are used up.
• Remove the filter holder from the machine, remove the filter and rinse it well under running tap water.
• Turn off the machine, disconnect the power cable from the socket-outlet and clean the coupling seat of the filter holder
with a sponge in order to remove any detergent residue from the shower disc.
• Turn the machine back on, couple the filter holder once again and dispense at least 2 cups of water again to complete the
rinsing.
If the coffee machine is used daily, it is advisable to carry out the cleaning operation at least every three months.
Cleaning the filter holder seat
With time, coffee residue may accumulate on the filter holder seat. It can be removed with a toothpick, a sponge (Fig. 11),
or by letting water run through without fitting the filter holder (Fig. 5).
Cleaning the MAXI CAPPUCCINO device
Warning
Perform this operation when the chrome-plated pipe is cold so as to prevent burns.
Unscrew the device (C) from the small pipe and wash it with running water. The small pipe can be cleaned with a non-abra-
sive 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 (B) with a sponge or damp cloth.
Cleaning the grill and drip tray
Remember to empty the drip tray from time to time (D).
Remove the drip tray (D) from the machine, empty it and wash it under running water. Remove the grill (E) 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, citric acid-based decalcifying products (NOCAL). This
product is easily found at the Ariete technical service centres. Other decalcifying products – although citric acid-based – may
contain chemical additives which might damage the internal parts of your coffee machine; Ariete declines any responsibility
for damages caused by the use of such products. Should you need to decalcify your appliance, please follow the instructions
which come with the decalcifying product.

PUTTING OUT OF SERVICE

If you want to put the machine out of service, you must disconnect it electrically, empty the water tank and drip tray and clean
it (see the paragraph on "Cleaning the appliance").
In the case of scrapping, you must separate the various materials used in making the machine and dispose of them based
on their composition and on the legal provisions in force in the country of use.
