Clean the filters thoroughly
If you notice a problem dispensing coffee, it may be that the filter is blocked. In this case, clean thoroughly
n Using a cross recess unscrew the central screw.
n Remove the stainless steel sieve.
n Clean all the parts in warm water.
n Hold to the light to check that there is no residue blocking the holes. If so, clean more thoroughly taking
care to remove any particles using a synthetic brush or a fine needle .
Important
Ensure that the different parts are dry before assembling: place the sieve in
the filter and tighten the screw.
Cleaning the dispensing unit
n The base of the dispensing unit must be cleaned regularly using a non-abrasive cloth soaked in water.
This is to remove all remaining coffee grounds from the sieve and in the filter holder housing system.
n Residual coffee grounds can also get blocked in the dispensing unit's peripheral cylinder. In this case,
this can be removed using a small fine object which is not pointed or a toothpick.
IMPORTANT
You are advised to operate your machine regularly with the filter holder in place but without coffee,
to remove any coffee remains.
Cleaning the adjustable spout and frothing nozzle
It is highy recommended that you clean the spout and its frothing nozzle after each production of milk froth
Important
Ensure that the spout and its nozzle have cooled down before performing any
maintenance.
n Remove the frothing nozzle from the spout by turning fully then pull the part to release (Fig.17).
n Dip the frothing nozzle in very hot water and ensure that any milk residue is completely removed.
IMPORTANT
If any of the milk froth has dried up around the frothing nozzle, dip this in a container of water
overnight to soften the residue
n Clean the outside of the plastic tube of the nozzle with hot water.
n If necessary, unblock the internal steam duct by inserting the needle supplied (u) into the nozzle hole and
running some hot water or steam through the plastic tube (See sections "Hot water function" page 17
or "Steam function" page 20).
n Ensure that all parts are completely dry.
n We also recommend that you use this needle to unblock the holes in the filters and the small hole at
the top of the detachable metal steam foam nozzle (fig 18).
n Carefully fit the special cappuccino nozzle by positioning the pins in the holes and rotating them anti-
clockwise until they lock into place (Fig.19).
IMPORTANT
These operations are essential to prevent any risk of spreading micro bacteria.
