12.2 Cleaning the machine's internal circuit

If the appliance is not used for more than 3-4 days, before
using it again, we strongly recommend switching it on and
performing:
• 2/3 rinse cycles by pressing the
• delivering hot water by turning the hot water/steam dial
(A20) to the I position.
Please note :
After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A13) to
contain water.

12.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container

When "EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER" is displayed, the grounds
container must be emptied and cleaned. Until the grounds
container (A13) has been cleaned, the appliance continues to
display the message and coffee cannot be made.
To clean (with the machine on):
• Remove the drip tray (A17 - fig. 23), empty and clean.
• Empty the grounds container (A13) and clean thoroughly
to remove all residues left on the bottom. This can be done
with the spatula on the brush (C5) provided.
• Check the red condensate tray (A14) and empty if
necessary.
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.

12.4 Cleaning the drip tray and condensate tray

Important!
If the drip tray (A17) is not emptied regularly, the water could
overflow from the edge and seep inside or around the machine.
This could damage the machine, the surface it rests on or the
surrounding area.
The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (A16) (red) show-
ing the level of water it contains (fig. 24). Before the indicator
protrudes from the cup tray, the drip tray must be emptied and
cleaned.
To remove the drip tray:
1. Remove the drip tray and the grounds container (A13) (fig.
23);
2. Empty the drip tray and grounds container and wash them;
3. Check the condensate tray (A14) and empty if necessary.
