necessary.
Important!
When removing the drip tray, the grounds con-
tainer must be emptied, even if it contains few
grounds.
If this is not done, when you make the next cof-
fees, the grounds container may fill up more than
expected and clog the machine.

Cleaning the drip tray and condensate tray

Important!
If the drip tray is not emptied regularly, the water
could overflow from the edge and seep inside or
around the coffee maker.
This could damage the machine, the surface it
rests on or the surrounding area.
The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (red)
showing 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 con-
tainer (fig. 23);
2. Empty the drip tray and grounds container
and wash them;
3. Check the red condensate tray and empty if
necessary;
- 4. Replace the drip tray and grounds container.

Cleaning the inside of the coffee maker

Danger of electric shock!
Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must
-
be turned off (see "Turning off") and unplugged
the coffee maker in water.
1. Check regularly (about once a month) that
the inside of the appliance (accessible after
removing the drip tray) is not dirty. If neces-
sary, remove coffee deposits with the brush
provided or a sponge.
