  • Remove the tray (14).
  • Remove the grounds container (12) with its tray (13) by pulling it outwards.
  • Empty the coffee grounds from the container (12).
  • Clean the container (12) and the tray (13) in running water with neutral dish detergent.
  • Thoroughly dry components and reassemble them on the machine.

 When emptying the grounds container, be sure to also empty any water residue from the internal tank.
 Daily cleaning of the coffee grounds container and the internal tray is recommended. It is normal to find water residue in the internal tank. Clean and dry.
Cleaning the water tank (5)

  • Remove the lid (4) and remove the tank (5) from the machine using the appropriate handle.
  • Clean the tank (5) in running water with neutral dish detergent and reassemble it in the machine.

 The presence of limescale inside the tank could cause the appliance to malfunction. Make sure the tank is always clean and without lime scale stains.
Cleaning the brewing group (15)
 We recommend cleaning the brewing group at least once a week.

  • The coffee machine indicates when brewing group cleaning is recommended (steady lit LED 24).
  • With the machine on, press the lower part of the door (8) until it is released and slide it’s out from the top.
  • Press the two release clips (29) located on the sides of the infuser (15) and remove it from the machine (Fig.L).

  • Use the supplied cleaning needle (32) to remove any encrustations from the steam outlet.
  • Clean with running water and reassemble everything in reverse order.

Descaling
 The coffee machine signals when it is necessary to carry out a descaling cycle based on the set water hardness (For the setting of the water hardness, see the “Setting the water hardness” paragraph). If the LED (25)  lights up steadily, it means that a descaling cycle is necessary, so as not to alter the taste of the coffee and damage the machine. However, coffee and further drinks may continue to be dispensed for a limited number of cycles. If the LED (25) flashes, it means that a descaling cycle is mandatory to proceed with further dispensing of drinks. To carry out a descaling cycle, proceed as follows:

  • Place a container with a capacity of at least 1.4l under the dispenser (11) and the steam spout (30).

  • Make sure that the White program with white illuminated keys is selected.

  • Fill the tank (5), up to the “MAX” level, with a solution of water and descaler in the doses recommended by the manufacturer.

  • With the machine ready for use, press the keys (20)  and (18)  simultaneously for at least 3 seconds. The key (18)  flashes with orange light and the LED (25)  has a fixed light for the entire duration of the descaling cycle.

  • Stay near the machine for the entire duration of the descaling cycle since you may be required, for example, to fill the tank (5). The entire cycle lasts approximately 30 minutes.

  • During the descaling cycle, the machine will take a few breaks to allow the descaler to act effectively. Wait for the end of the cycle.

  • The descaling cycle ends when there is no more solution in the tank (5), the key (18)  turns white and the LEDS (21)  and (25)  remain lit.

  • Pour clean water into the tank (5) up to the “MAX” level to carry out the rinse cycle, then press button (18)  to start the rinse cycle, the button (18)  flashes and the LED (25)  lights up steadily for the entire duration of the washing cycle.

  • The rinse cycle ends when the keys light up white.
    **** If, at the end of the descaling process, the LED (25)  remains permanently lit, it indicates that a new descaling cycle must be carried out since the quantity of descaling solution that was used was insufficient for complete cleaning. Personal injury hazard.

  • **** The descaler contains acids that can irritate the skin and eyes.

  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety warnings on the packet scrupulously in the event of contact with skin or eyes.

  • Use descaler products recommended by Smeg to prevent damage to the coffee machine.
    **** Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
