IMPORTANT: Your espresso machine accessories are not
dishwasher-safe. Do not wash the spoon, the drip tray, the
filter holder and the water tank in the dishwasher.

n Always unplug the machine before cleaning and allow to cool down
to avoid injury.
n Wipe the outside of the machine with a clean damp cloth. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners, or alcohol/solvent-based cleaners to clean
the machine. Use only gentle dishwashing liquid and warm water. After
each use, rinse out the water tank and empty before replacing in the
machine.
n When a thin white layer of powder starts to form in the tank, this is a
sign that descaling is necessary. See Section 8 for details on
descaling. Please note that descaling should be performed
periodically to maintain optimum performance of your machine.

n The drip tray must be emptied each time the machine is used. The
presence of water in the drip tray is normal and is not the sign of a
leak. Lift up the tray slightly and pull out to remove from the machine.
n If multiple espressos are prepared one after the other, the drip tray
should be emptied every few espressos to prevent overflowing.
n The red overflow indicators in the tray will float up and become visible
to remind you to empty the drip tray before it overflows. When
emptying the drip tray, remove the metal tray and rinse out the
compartment below. If necessary, both the metal tray and the
compartment can be cleaned with warm water and a gentle
dishwashing liquid. Rinse well and dry completely before replacing
the drip tray in the machine. Make sure when replacing the drip tray
to push it all the way into the machine to avoid leaking.

liquid.

cleaners to clean the brewing head or filter holder.
