Tea filter cleaning
The tea filter must be cleaned periodically with warm water and simple detergent. If the tea does not come
out from the filter holder or comes out slowly it is necessary to remove the tea residues inside it. If necessary,
use a brush.
Prevent waste tea leaves from entering the jug as they could be sucked by the pump and clog the water
circulation ducts.
removing lime
A good maintenance and regular cleaning preserve and maintain the appliance efficient for a longer period
greatly reducing the risk of scale formation. However, should your coffee machine fail to work properly as a
result of the frequent use of hard, high calcium content water, you may perform a decalcification procedure
to restore its operational efficiency. For this purpose you must use only the Ariete citric acid-based decalcify-
ing products (NOCAL). This product is easily found at the Ariete technical service centres. Ariete does not
assume any responsibility whatsoever for damage to components inside the machine caused by the use of
non-compliant products containing chemical additives. Should you need to decalcify your appliance, please
follow the instructions which come with the decalcifying product.

In the case of decommissioning of the appliance, it must be electrically disconnected. Cut the power cord.
In case of scrapping you will be required to separate the various materials used in the construction of the ap-
pliance and dispose of them according to their composition and to the applicable laws in the country of use.
