fee machine. Use a soft damp cloth only.
2. Clean the filter holder cup, filters, drip tray and water tank
regularly. To empty the drip tray, remove the cup tray grille,
remove the water and clean the tray with a cloth: then re-
assemble the drip tray. Clean the water tank, using a soft
brush to reach the bottom.
Danger!
While cleaning, never immerse the coffee
maker in water. It is an electrical appliance.
DESCALING
You are recommended to descale the coffee maker about every
200 coffees. You should use commercially available De'Longhi
descaler. Proceed as follows:
1. Fill the tank with the descaler solution obtained by diluting
the descaler with water following the instructions on the
pack.
2. Press the ON/OFF button.
3. Make sure the filter holder is not attached and position a
recipient under the cappuccino maker.
4. Wait until the OK light comes on.
5. Press the coffee button and deliver about 1/4 of the solu-
tion in the tank, turning the steam dial at intervals to allow
a little solution to flow out. Then stop the flow by pressing
the button again and leave the solution to act for about
five minutes.
6. Repeat point 5 another 3 times, until the tank is empty.
7. To eliminate residues of solution and limescale, rinse the
tank well, fill with clean water (without descaler) and put
back in place.
8. Press the coffee delivery button and allow the water to
deliver until the tank is completely empty;
