CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

„ Machine: Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp sponge when you think it necessary. Do
not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the coffee machine.
„ Water tank: Rinse the inside of the tank regularly. When a fine white layer appears in the tank,
descale the appliance (refer to the section on descaling).
„ Drip tray: Clean the drip tray (J) and its grid (I) using water and a little mild detergent (31-32). Rinse
and dry. Only the drip tray grill is dishwasher safe.

this, follow the steps for foaming the milk, replacing 100 ml of milk with 60 ml of water. After turning
off the steam, quickly and carefully clean the steam nozzle using a damp sponge (in order to remove
any residue). Pull the tube of the steam nozzle downwards. Carefully clean the steam nozzle with
lukewarm water (29-30). Fit the tube back onto the steam nozzle. Only the steam nozzle tube is
dishwasher safe.
