ble brush; soak the filters in hot water in order to dissolve coffee greases.
◆ Clean the drip tray of residues of coffee on the bottom to prevent encrustation.

1- Insert the blind filter in the filter holder and add the amount of detergent indicated on the pack.

◆ Clean the external parts of the machine with a damp cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive sub-

◆ To clean the filter holder and the filters, leave them to soak for at least 30 minutes in a solution of
hot water and detergent prepared in a plastic or stainless steel container. Rinse them with clean water.
Frequent cleaning allows a smooth coffee to be obtained as well as prolonging the life of your coffee
maker.
◆ Never use metal accessories, wire or abrasive sponges to clean the filter housing.
◆ Periodically check that the parts subject to wear are intact (filter housing, filters, gaskets, shower
heads). Order original parts to a customer support centre.
10. MINI RESIN WATER SOFTENER
◆ Calcium and magnesium determine the hardness of the water and cause the formation of what we
simply call scale. Water is hard from 30 °f to 40 °f; it is considered very hard from 40 °f upwards. The
hardness can be measured by simple test kits, which may be purchased at any service centre.
◆ There is a small resin water softener (plus one in the accessories kit) inside the water tank, which
should be replaced or regenerated once every 20-30 litres of water that are used.
The small water softener can be regenerated by putting it in salt water (0,5 litres and one spoonful of
NaCl, sodium chloride) for approx. 48 hours. Thoroughly rinse with clean water and put the small
water softener connected to the silicone tube back inside the tank.
