Cleaning The Drip Tray - DeLonghi La Specialista EC9335M Instructions Manual

Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean
the coffee machine.
• Do not use metal objects to remove residues or coffee de-
posits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
• None of the components of the appliance can be washed in
a dishwasher with the exception of the drip tray (A13) and
cup grilles (A10) and (A11).
• If the appliance was not used for more than a week, before
using it again, we recommend you perform a rinse cycle as
described in section "3. Setting up the appliance".
Danger!
• While cleaning, never immerse the coffee maker in water. It
is an electrical appliance.
• Before cleaning the outside of the appliance, turn it off,
unplug from the mains socket and allow to cool.

13.2 Cleaning the drip
tray
The drip tray is fitted with a
level indicator (A14) showing
the amount of water it contains.
Before the indicator protrudes
from the cup tray, the drip tray
must be emptied and cleaned,
otherwise the water may over-
flow the edge and damage the
appliance, the surface it rests on
or the surrounding area.

3. Put the grille back on the support from the right side, then

13.4 Coffee filter cleaning and maintenance
The coffee filters are designed to obtain the best possible coffee
froth. For best results, the filters must always be clean and free
from all coffee residues.
After using the appliance, always rinse the filters under abun-
dant running water (fig. 36), pushing the perforated filter to
make sure it is always correctly inserted in its housing (fig. 37);
make sure the hole underneath (shown in fig. 40) is free from
all residues.
If still dirty, and in any case always at least once a month, clean
the coffee filters thoroughly:
1. Remove the perforated filter from filter housing by pulling
the tab (fig. 38).
2. Rinse the filters under running water (fig. 39).
3. Make sure the holes are not clogged. If necessary, clean
with a pin or niddle (fig. 39-40).
4. Dry all the components with a cloth.
5. Put the perforated filter back in the housing and press as far
as it will go (fig. 37).
