Regular cleaning and maintenance keeps the coffee maker in top working condition and ensures perfect coffee taste, consistent coffee delivery and excellent milk foam for a long period of time.
CLEANING THE MILK TANK AND MILK PIPE
When you have finished preparing your milk drink, you can either store the milk container directly in the refrigerator or empty the container and the spout completely.

Wash all parts of the milk container and lid thoroughly with warm soapy water. Dry well. Do not use abrasive cleaners or dishwashing sponges as they may scratch the surface. The milk container and lid can also be washed in the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE FILTER HOLDER AND FILTERS
The filter holder and filters must be kept clean to guarantee excellent results.
WARNING: To avoid burns, the filter should only be removed after the filter holder has completely cooled down.

Remove the filter from the filter holder and wash it with warm water.
If you notice a malfunction while brewing coffee, immerse the filter in boiling water for 10 minutes and then rinse it under running water.

NOTE: Do not wash the filter holder and filters in the dishwasher.

Insert the empty filter holder into the brew head without using any coffee grounds.
Place an empty cup under the brew head.
Press the double button and fill the cup with water.
Remove the filter holder from the brew head and clean the brew head with a dry cloth.

WARNING: Do not attempt to disassemble the brew head. This will damage the brew head and cause leakage.
CLEANING THE WATER TANK
Drain any remaining water by removing the water tank and turning it upside down over a sink.
Between uses, it is recommended to completely drain the water from the tank. Wash the water tank with soapy water, rinse well and wipe dry.
NOTE: Do not wash the water tank in the dishwasher.
DESCALING
The accumulation of mineral deposits in the device will affect its operation. Your appliance should perform descaling when you start noticing an increase in the time it takes to make an espresso, or when an excessive amount of steam is produced. In addition, you may notice a buildup of white deposits on the surface of the brew head.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of the water used. Table 2 lists recommended cleaning intervals.

Water treatment type	Frequency
Soft water (filtered water)	Approximately every 100 brew cycles
Hard water (tap water)	Approximately every 50 brew cycles

DESCALING THE TANK

Fill the reservoir with fresh undiluted white household vinegar.
Leave the appliance overnight with the vinegar solution in the water tank.
Pour out the vinegar by removing the reservoir and turning it upside down over the sink.
Rinse the water tank thoroughly with tap water by filling the tank halfway with water and then pouring the water back into the sink, repeating this step twice.

DESCALING INTERIOR PARTS

First, make sure you have descaled the inside of the water tank by following the descaling steps above.
Make sure the on/off switch is in the «O» position and the power cord is disconnected from the mains. Fill the reservoir with undiluted white household vinegar.
Insert the filter holder (with and without filter) and place a large empty cup on the drip tray under the filter holder.
Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
Press the on/off switch to the «I» position. As soon as the lights on the control panel light up, press the single espresso button. The vinegar will start flowing through the device and stop automatically.
Place a large empty cup (at least 350 ml capacity) under the frothed milk spout.
Fill the milk tank with purified water and put it back on the device. Turn the foam control knob to the clean position, then press the double espresso or latte button to activate the clean function. Verify that the milk has stopped coming out of the tube and you can turn off the cleaning function. Otherwise, wait until the cleaning function ends automatically.
