the main body in water. In any case, avoid splashing water or other liquids
from reaching those parts. Periodically clean the tank (2) and the lid (1)
with a soft sponge and dish detergent. Rinse and dry well before reassembling
them.
GRID AND DRIP COLLECTING CONTAINER
Remember to empty the container (16) at least once a week. There is also a
floater (14): if the floater comes out of the grid (15), the tray is too full
and must be emptied.
Periodically clean the grid (15) and the drip tray (16):
– Disassemble these parts and empty the container (16).
– Wash with a soft sponge and dish detergent. Rinse and dry well before
reassembling them.
FILTERS (18 – 19 – 20)

free.
If they are clogged, put the filter in the filter holder and assemble the
machine without adding the coffee.
Press the 2 cups button (10) to dissolve impurities and coffee residues.
If you notice formation of limescale, immerse the filters in a solution of
water and vinegar and leave to act for 6 hours. Afterwards, wash the filters
with dish detergent, rinse and dry.
SEAT FOR LINKING THE FILTER HOLDER (13)
WARNING: after use, do not leave the filter holder (21) inserted in its
seat (13) in order to not damage the gasket present in the filter holder seat.
With use, impurities and coffee residues may form even in the seat of the
filter holder (13).
Periodically check the condition of this part, and if you notice any
impurities, proceed with cleaning. Use a soft sponge, unlock the holes gently
with a needle and dispense hot water without mounting the filter holder (put a
large cup underneath and press the 2 cups button, repeat 2 more times).
STEAM EROGATION TUBE (5)
CAUTION: clean the tube wand only when it is cold.
After each use of the tube (5), dispense steam for a few seconds to clean it
of milk residues, and clean the tube with a damp cloth. At least once a month,
clean the parts of the dispenser:
– Remove the tube (5) downwards. Remove the silicone handle (4) by pulling it
downwards.
– Clean the internal steam tube with a damp cloth.
– Periodically clean the tube (5) and handle (4) with a soft sponge and dish
detergent. Rinse and dry well before reassembling them
DECALCIFICATION
Cleaning the coffee machine is necessary to make it work efficiently. Despite
this, depending on the water used and especially if you use hard and
calcareous water, it is possible that limescale deposits and impurities may
form, compromising the functionality of the appliance.
In this case it is necessary to descale the internal circuits. To do this, use
a specific descaling product for coffee machines, easily available in
specialized shops and service centers.
CAUTION: the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damage to the
machine caused by the use of non-compliant products.
The coffee maker needs decalcification every 3 months:
-
Put a filter in the filter holder and mount it to the docking place without adding the coffee.
-
Fill the container by mixing water and descaler, in the doses indicated in the descaler pack. Fill up to the MAX level.
-
Place a 250ml container on the grid (15) and press (10 – ).
-
Empty the container and place it under the steam erogator.
-
Turn the knob (3) and let the hot water flow out for 30 seconds. Wait 5 minutes.
-
Empty the container and repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 until the water in the tank runs out.
At this point it is necessary to rinse the internal circuits to eliminate eventual residues of descaler: -
Remove the tank (2) and wash it with a soft sponge and dish detergent.
-
Fill the tank with fresh water and put it back on the coffee machine.
-
Place a 250ml container on the grid (15) and press (10 – ).
-
Empty the container and place it under the steam erogator.
-
Turn the knob (3) and let the hot water flow out for 30 seconds. Empty the container.
The machine is now ready to prepare coffee again.
