CLEANING AND CARE

CLEANING THE MACHINE
Each time you use the machine, you should clean and dry it before putting it away.
The filter basket and the backwater tank can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Remove the filters before washing.
Clean the outside surface of the machine with a damp cloth.
Do not use detergents or dripping wet cloths.
ATTENTION! Do not wet metal contacts positioned on the appliance in the area below the tank.
EXTERNAL FILTERS
The polyester filter of filtering basket F1 must be cleaned and dried after each use.
Periodically check the lower filter F4 and, if necessary, clean it with cold water. Dry before putting it back in place.
Periodically check the HEPA filter (side filter F3) and, if necessary, replace.
Periodically check the bag pre-filter F2 and, if necessary, replace.
DECALCIFYING THE BOILER
The minerals present in your water, and especially calcium, can leave a build-up on the walls of the boiler. Over time, this can cause
the appliance to operate poorly (longer heating times, greater use of energy, blockage of some tubes). To prevent this from happening,
the boiler should be decalcified periodically. With the appliance unplugged and cold, empty the boiler by opening the cap in the lower
part of the appliance with the valve seat wrench. Close the cap.
Fill the cold tank with 1/2 glass of white vinegar mixed with 750 cc of water. Turn the main on/off switch and the boiler on/off switch to
the "on" position. Wait for the "steam ready" indicator light to turn on. At this point, switch the appliance off, wait for the pressure in the
boiler to decrease (until the manometer goes back to minimum), empty the boiler and rinse out thoroughly with plenty of water. Do not
attach any accessories or activate the steam button during decalcification!
ENERGY SAVING SUGGESTIONS
To get the best performance out of your machine and avoid unnecessary energy waste, please follow the indications provided below.
Do not turn the boiler on if you are only going to use the suction function.
Periodically clean (decalcify) the boiler. Mineral build-up on the heating element limits its efficiency.
See to proper filter maintenance (cleaning and replacement).
