APPLIANCE CLEANING

ALWAYS UNPLUG THE APPLIANCE BEFORE CLEANING IT.
NEVER IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE BODY IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS AND DO NOT PUT IT IN THE DISHWASHER.

• To clean the appliance body, use a wet cloth but avoid abrasive detergents.
• It is recommended to rinse the tank on a daily base. Never leave water in the tank for more than 5 days or, if it occurs, change water and dispense 50ml of water without capsule before making the coff ee.

• Wash the drip tray (6) and the drip tray plate (5) with water and dishwasher detergent.
• Do not put these items in the dishwasher.

DESCALING PROCEDURE
The normal use of the machine with natural mineral water, both in bottle and from the tap, entails the formation of limescale.
It is recommended to carry out the descaling cycle every 300 cups of coff ee (otherwise every 3-4 months) and/or when a constant decrease of the dispensed coff ee fl ow is noticed.

THE FREQUENCY OF THIS OPERATION DEPENDS ON THE HARDNESS OF WATER USED.

• P our a dose of Bialetti descaling solution or equivalent (provided it is not toxic and is suitable for coff ee machines) into the water tank (4).
  DO NOT USE VINEGAR OR VINE-GAR-BASED SOLUTIONS AS DESCALING AGENT.

• Fill the tank with cold water up to the MAX level.

• Press the button (2) to switch the machine on. Wait until it remains steady on.

• Make sure the machines does not contain any capsule. If needed, open and close the lever (1).

• Place a suitable cup on the apposite rack and start the cleaning mode using the pour button for 5 secs.
  DURING THIS MODE, FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE, THE MACHINE DISPENSES WATER INTERMITTENTLY IN ORDER TO CLEAN AND RINSE THE INNER CIRCUITS OF THE MACHINE DEEPLY. AFTER ONE MINUTE, DISPENSING IS CONTINUOUS AGAIN. DURING THE WHOLE CYCLE, THE LIGHT ON THE BUTTON BLINKS GREEN QUICKLY.

• Stop the cleaning mode by pressing the button (2) again when water reaches about half of the tank capacity.

• Let the descaling agent act for aprox.ly 15-20 minutes with the machine off .

• Switch the machine on and carry out again the operations described in point E) until the tank is completely empty.

• Switch the machine off against for approx.ly 5 minutes.

• Remove the tank and rinse it thoroughly with clean cold water.

• Fill the tank with clean water up to the “MAX” level and insert it in its seat.

• Start the cleaning mode using the pour button for 5 seconds until the tank is completely empty. If necessary, start the cleaning mode several times (the machine features a safety system, which interrupts the dispensing automatically after 100 operating seconds).

• Repeat the steps described in point L).
