10 - MAINTENANCE AND USEFUL
ADVICE
In order to ensure that the spouts (B) are kept clean and free of
any coffee deposits which may jeopardize yield, we advise that
before starting work in the morning that you put filter holder (D) in
with empty filter (while machine is hot) and operate the unit several
times.
In this way any coffee dust which may have been deposited between
the metal filter (B) and the metal filter holder (A) are removed. This
operation must be repeated every day.
Frequently check the filter holes (C) and remove any deposits.
Should the water have been left in the ducts for a long time, it is
necessary to allow some water to flow through them in order to
remove any deposits.

Weekly cleaning operations
Cleaning of the unit and spouts: place a teaspoon of specific coffee
machine washing powder into the blind filter supplied with the
machine and apply to the unit to be cleaned using the filter-holder.
Press the unit delivery control button as for a normal coffee
dispensing operation. Suspend delivery after 30 seconds and then
repeat the operation 3-4 times. Rinse out the unit using a normal
filter and then undertake a few dispensing operations using water
only. Then prepare a coffee in order to eliminate any unpleasant
odours.
It is a good idea to rinse the filters (C) and filter holders (D) every
day in hot water, or even better, place them in hot water and allow
to soak for the whole night in order to dissolve any greasy coffee
deposits.
It is advisable to leave the filter-holder cups inserted with the coffee
dregs for the entire working day to ensure that the filter-holder is
always at optimum temperature.
Do not cover the cup-warmer level with any fabrics or cloths etc.
Do not use any abrasive or corrosive products for cleaning the
bodywork.
The steam nozzles must be cleaned immediately after use in order
to prevent the risk of the formation of any scale which may block
the holes and to ensure that any drinks made subsequently do not
absorb any unpleasant odours.

Below-cup seal replacement

noted between unit (F) and filter-holder (G), or in the event that on
