Cleaning The Drip Tray And Drip Tray Grille; Cleaning The Inside Of The Machine; Cleaning The Water Tank; Cleaning The Pre-Ground Coffee Funnel - DeLonghi MAGNIFICA PLUS Manual

Important!
• When removing the drip tray, the coffee grounds container
must always be emptied, even if it has not filled up notice-
ably. If this is not done, it can happen that when further
coffees are prepared, the grounds container will fill up
more than expected and clog the machine.

13.4 Cleaning the drip tray and drip tray grille

Important!
The drip tray (A14) is fitted with a level indicator (A13) (red)
showing the amount of water it contains (fig. 28).
Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray (A11), the drip
tray must be emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may
overflow the edge and damage the appliance, the surface it
rests on or the surrounding area. To remove the drip tray, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Remove the drip tray complete with grille (A12) and tray,
and the grounds container (A10) (fig. 27);
2. Check the condensate drip tray, which is coloured red (A15)
and empty if necessary. Check the red-coloured conden-
sate tray;
3. Remove the cup tray and the drip tray grille, then empty
the drip tray and the grounds container, and wash all of
the components;
4. Reposition the drip tray in the machine, complete with
grille, tray and grounds container.
Important!
When removing the drip tray, the coffee grounds container must
always be emptied, even if it has not filled up noticeably. If this
is not done, it can happen that when further coffees are pre-
pared, the grounds container will fill up more than expected and
clog the machine.

13.5 Cleaning the inside of the 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 machine in water.
1. Check regularly (about once a month) that the inside of the
appliance (accessible after removing the drip tray (A14)) is

not dirty. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a brush
and a sponge.
2. Remove all residues with a vacuum cleaner (fig. 29).

13.6 Cleaning the water tank

Periodically (about once a month) and whenever the water sof-
tener filter (D4) is replaced, clean the water tank (A9).
1. Take out the water tank (fig. 2), remove the water softener
filter (if installed) and rinse under running water;
2. Empty the water tank and clean with warm water (40 °C
approx), wiping if necessary with a clean cloth. Rinse thor-
oughly with drinking water.
3. If previously removed, reinstall the filter (fig. 30), then fill
the tank with cold water up to the MAX level (fig. 3) and
return it to the machine;
4. (Only if a water softener filter is installed): release 100ml of
hot water to reactivate the filter.
Please note:
If the machine is not used for more than 3 days, it is advisable to
clean the tank as described above.

13.7 Cleaning the pre-ground coffee funnel

month) with a damp cloth. Proceed as follows:
1. Turn the machine off (see section "5. Turning the appliance
off");
2. Open the funnel flap;
3. Clean the funnel with a brush;
