To guarantee the correct operation of the machine as well as the quality
of the ground coffee, we should periodically clean the parts that come
into contact with the coffee (at least once a week). Before performing
any type of maintenance work, the following indications must be taken
into consideration:
• Always turn off the machine using the ON-OFF switch (11).
• Disconnect the machine from the power supply.

9.2. Cleaning of the coffee bean hopper
Before cleaning, make sure that there are no beans left in the hopper
(2). Close the hopper opening lever, turn it counter-clockwise until it
comes off the grinder. Clean it with a damp cloth or soap and water to
eliminate the oil residues from the coffee, washing it carefully and then
drying. Replace the hopper and turn it clockwise back into position, Fig

the display.
9.3. Cleaning the coffee discharge tube
To clean the coffee discharge tube, select (point 1.3) CLEANING from
the menu and make sure that the upper and lower lids are open. With
the help of a brush, clean the remains of coffee that may be stuck to
the inside of the dispenser chambers. Lastly, close the lids in point 1.2.1
and 1.2.2 of the menu.
9.4. Exterior cleaning
To clean the exterior, use a brush or a cloth dampened with a little bit
of soap and water.
NOTE: Never use damp clothes to clean the coffee deposit. Conserve
the brush in a protected place and only use it to clean the grinder to
avoid it being contaminated from other substances. If you do NOT
follow these instructions, it could affect the taste and aroma of the
coffee.
