At the end of preparation, there is enough milk left in the carafe for other drinks · After cleaning using the “Clean” function, extract the milk
carafe and place it immediately in the refrigerator. The “HOT” carafe can be kept in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days; the “COOL” carafe can be kept in the refrigerator for no more than 1 day: then all the components should be cleaned as described in section “15.10 Cleaning the milk carafes (E) and (F)”. Important: If the milk carafe has been left out of the refrigerator for more than 30 minutes, disassemble and clean all the components as described in section”15.10 Cleaning the milk carafes (E) and (F)”.
General notes after making milk drinks: · If you do not clean the milk carafe, the symbol appears
on the homepage to remind you that it needs cleaning. · In certain cases, the appliance will need to warm up before
the carafe can be cleaned. · To ensure correct cleaning, wait for the CLEAN function to
end. The function is automatic. It must not be interrupted while underway.

15.1 Cleaning the machine The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly: – the appliance’s internal circuit;

17

– coffee grounds container (A10); – drip tray (A15) and drip tray grille(A14); – water tank (A23); – coffee spouts(A7); – pre-ground coffee funnel (A4); – brewing unit (A6), extractable after opening the brewing
unit flap (A5); – milk carafes (E) and (F) – coffee pot (D8) (see section”8.9 Cleaning the coffee pot”); – travel mug (D9) (see section”12.1 Cleaning the travel mug
after use”). Important! · Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean
the coffee machine. With De’Longhi superautomatic coffee machines, no chemical products are required for cleaning purposes. · Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.

15.2 Cleaning the internal circuit If the appliance is not used for more than 3/4 days, before using it again, we strongly recommend switching it on and performing 2/3 rinse cycles by selecting the “Rinse” function (section “6.1 Rinsing”). Please note: After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A10) to contain water.

15.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container When”Please empty grounds container”appears on the display, the grounds container must be emptied and cleaned. The appliance cannot be used to make coffee until you have cleaned the grounds container (A10). Even if not full, the empty grounds container message is displayed 72 hours after the first coffee has been prepared. For the 72 hours to be calculated correctly, the machine must never be disconnected from the mains power supply.

Important! Danger of scalding If you make a number of milk-based drinks one after the other, the metal cup tray (A13) becomes hot. Wait for it to cool down before touching it and handle it from the front only. To clean (with the machine on): 1. Remove the drip tray (A15) and grounds container (A10)
(fig. 28);
28
2. Empty the drip tray and grounds container and clean thoroughly to remove all residues left on the bottom. This can be done using the spatula on the brush (D5) provided.
3. Put the drip tray complete with grille and grounds container back in the appliance.
Important! When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be emptied, even if it contains only a few grounds. If this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the grounds container will fill up more than expected and clog the machine. 15.4 Cleaning the drip tray and drip tray grille Important! The drip tray (A15) is fitted with a level indicator (A20) (red) showing the amount of water it contains (fig. 29).
29
Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray (A13), the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may overflow the edge and damage the appliance, the surface it rests on or the surrounding area. To remove the drip tray, proceed as follows:

18

1. Remove the drip tray and coffee grounds container (A10) (fig. 28);
2. Check the red condensate tray (A12) and empty if full; 3. Remove the cup tray (A13) and drip tray grille (A14), then
empty the drip tray and grounds container and wash all components; 4. Put the drip tray complete with grille and grounds container back in the appliance. Important! When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be emptied, even if it contains few grounds. If this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the grounds container will fill up more than expected and clog the machine.
15.5 Cleaning the inside of the machine Danger of electric shock! Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must be turned off (see section”5. Turning the appliance off”) and unplugged from the mains power supply. Never immerse the machine in water. 1. Check regularly (about once a month) that the inside of the
appliance (accessible after removing the drip tray (A15)) is not dirty. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with the brush (D5) supplied and a sponge. 2. Remove all residues with a vacuum cleaner (fig. 30).

31
4. (models with water softener filter only) — deliver 100ml of hot water to reactivate the filter.
Please note: If the appliance is not used for more than 3-4 days, you should clean the tank as described above.
15.7 Cleaning the coffee spouts 1. Clean the coffee spouts (A7) regularly with a sponge or
cloth (fig. 32);

32

33

30
15.6 Cleaning the water tank Clean the water tank periodically (about once a month) and whenever the softener filter (D4) in the water tank (A23) is replaced. 1. Take out the water tank (fig. 2), remove the water softener
filter (if installed) and rinse with running water; 2. Empty the water tank and clean with hot water, if nec-
essary with the aid of a clean, non-abrasive cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water; 3. Reinstate the filter (fig. 31), fill the tank with fresh potable water up to the MAX level (fig. 3) and reposition the tank in the machine;

2. Check the holes in the coffee spouts are not blocked. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a toothpick (fig. 33).
15.8 Cleaning the pre-ground coffee funnel Clean the pre-ground coffee funnel (A4) regularly (about once a month) with a damp cloth. Proceed as follows: 1. Turn the machine off (see chapter “5. Turning the appliance
off”; 2. Open the funnel flap; 3. Clean the funnel with the brush provided (D5); 4. Close the flap. Important! After cleaning, make sure there are no accessories left in the funnel. The presence of foreign objects in the funnel while the machine is in operation could damage the appliance.
15.9 Cleaning the brewing unit The brewing unit (A6) must be cleaned at least once a month. Important! The brewing unit cannot be extracted while the machine is on.

19

1. Make sure the machine is correctly turned off (see section “5. Turning the appliance off”);
2. Remove the water tank (A23) (fig. 2); 3. Open the brewing unit flap (A5) (fig. 34) on the right side
of the appliance;

15.10 Cleaning the milk carafes (E) and (F) Each time you use the milk carafe, clean as described below: 1. Extract the lid of the milk carafe (E1) or (F1) (fig. 18); 2. Extract the milk spout (E5) or (F5), milk spout extension
(E7) (“Hot” carafe only) and milk intake tube (E6) or (F6) (fig. 37);
