been prepared. For the 72 hours to be calculated correctly, the
machine must never be turned off with the main switch.
Important! Danger of burns
If you make a number of cappuccinos one after the other, the
cup warmer shelf (A10) becomes hot. Wait for it to cool down
before touching it and handle from the front only.
To clean (with the machine on):
Remove the drip tray (A16) (fig. 28), empty and clean;
28
Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly to re-
move all residues left on the bottom. This can be done with
the spatula on the brush (C5) provided;
Check the condensate tray (A14) and empty if necessary
(fig. 29).
Important!
When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be
emptied, even if it contains few grounds. If this is not done,
when you make the next coffees, the grounds container may fill
up more than expected and clog the machine.

10.4 Cleaning the drip tray and condensate tray

Important!
The drip tray (A16) is fitted with a level indicator (red) (A17)
showing the level of water it contains (fig. 30).
30
Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray (A15), the drip
tray must be emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may
29
overflow the edge and damage the appliance, the surface it
rests on or the surrounding area.
To remove the drip tray:
1. Remove the drip tray and the coffee grounds container
(A18) (fig. 28);
2. Empty the drip tray and grounds container and wash them;
3. Check the condensate tray (A14) and empty if necessary;
4. Replace the drip tray and grounds container.

10.5 Cleaning the inside of the coffee machine

Danger of electric shock!
Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must be turned off
(see section "5. Turning the appliance off") and unplugged from
the mains power supply. Never immerse the coffee machine in
water.
1. Check regularly (about once a month) that the inside of
the appliance (accessible after removing the drip tray, A16)
is not dirty. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with the
brush (C5) or a sponge;
2. Remove all the residues with a vacuum cleaner (fig. 31).

10.6 Cleaning the water tank

1. Clean the water tank (A7) regularly (about once a month)
and whenever you replace the water softener filter (C4, if
provided) with a damp cloth and a little mild washing up
liquid;
2. Remove the filter (if present) and rinse with running water;
3. Replace the filter (if provided), fill the tank with fresh
water and replace the tank;
4. (Models with water softener filter only) Deliver about 100
ml of hot water to reactivate the filter.

10.7 Cleaning the coffee spouts

1. Clean the coffee spouts (A11) regularly with a sponge or
cloth (fig. 32);
2. Check that the holes in the coffee spouts (A11) are not blo-
cked. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a toothpick
(fig. 33).
