• At first, the steam may be mixed with a
few drops of water. This is normal and in
no way affects the final result.
If you do not want these drops of water to
mix with the milk, wait a few moments
before submerging the nozzle.
• The "OK" pilot light may come on whilst
you are steaming the milk. This is
completely normal.
• When you have steamed the milk as much
as you want, return the selector to the
"STOP" position. There will be some
steam discharge through the drip tray. This
is completely normal. Take care not to
burn yourself.
• Clean the tube and rubber nozzle
immediately after use. Place a recipient
containing clean water under the tube and
turn the selector to the (steam) position for
about 20 seconds. Clean the outside of
the tube with a damp cloth and wash the
rubber nozzle in warm, soapy water.
If the steam outlet becomes blocked, clean it
using a pin or other similar object.
If you want to use your machine to make
coffee immediately after having used the
steam option, run an empty cycle (with no
coffee in the filter) first. See "How to
prepare the perfect espresso".
7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•
Before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance operation, switch the machine
off, unplug it and leave it to cool.
• Do not clean the machine with solvents,
detergents or abrasive products. Use a
damp cloth.
• Clean the filter-holder, filters and drip tray
after each use. Take special care to
ensure that the filter holes do not become
blocked.

components or accessories in the
dishwasher.

and rinse with clean water.
• Do not submerge the machine in water.

Cleaning the boiler (F)
It is a good idea to clean the boiler head with
a damp cloth after each use in order to
remove any coffee grains. We also
recommend that you run an empty cycle (with
an empty filter) after each use in order to
clean the water outlets.
DECALCIFICATION
We recommend that you decalcify your
machine once every 4-8 months, depending
on the hardness of the water in your area and
the frequency of use. Use a water and
vinegar solution and follow the steps outlined
below:
• Fill the deposit with a mixture of water and
eight spoonfuls of vinegar.
• Turn the machine on as if you were going
to make coffee. When the deposit is
empty, rinse thoroughly.
• Run two or three empty cycles and rinse
well until the smell of vinegar has
completely disappeared.
Using any substance other than water or
vinegar could be hazardous.
