Important! When extracting the drip tray,
the waste coffee container must always be em-
ptied.

Cleaning the drip tray

Important! If the drip tray is not emptied
the water might overflow. This could damage the
machine. The drip tray is fitted with a level indi-
cator (red) showing the level of water it contains
(fig. 27). Before the indicator protrudes from the
cup tray, the drip tray must be emptied and clea-
ned. To remove the tray:
1. Open the service door (fig. 16).
2. Remove the drip tray and the waste coffee
container (fig. 17).
3. Clean the drip tray and waste coffee container
(A4).
4. Replace the drip tray and waste coffee con-
tainer (A4).
5. Close the service door.

Cleaning the water tank

1. Clean the water tank (A12) regularly (about
once a month) with a damp cloth and a little
mild washing up liquid.
2. Remove all traces of washing up liquid.

Cleaning the spouts

1. Clean the nozzles periodically using a sponge
(fig. 28).
2. Check regularly that the holes in the coffee
spout are not blocked.
If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a
toothpick (fig. 26).
Cleaning the pre-ground coffee
funnel
Check regularly (about once a month) that
the pre-ground coffee funnel is not blocked
(fig. 21).
Danger! Before performing any cleaning
operations, the machine must be turned off by
pressing the main switch (A23) and unplugged
from the mains power supply. Never immerse the
coffee maker in water.
Cleaning the inside of the coffee
maker
1. Check regularly (about once a week) that the
inside of the appliance is not dirty.
If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a
sponge.
2. Remove the residues with a vacuum cleaner
(fig. 30).

Cleaning the brewing unit

The brewing unit must be cleaned at least once a
month.
Important! The brewing unit (A5) must
not be removed when the appliance is on. Do not
use force to remove the brewing unit.
1. Make sure the machine is correctly turned off
(see "Turning the appliance off").
2. Open the service door (fig. 16).
3. Remove the drip tray and waste coffee con-
tainer (fig. 17);
4. Press the two red release buttons inwards
and at the same time pull the brewing unit
outwards (fig. 31).
Important! Do not use washing up liquid
to clean the brewing unit. It would remove the lu-
bricant applied to the inside of the piston.
5. Soak the brewing unit in water for about 5
minutes, then rinse.
6. After cleaning, replace the brewing unit (A5)
by sliding it onto the internal support and pin
at the bottom, then push the PUSH symbol
fully in until it clicks into place.
