SERVICING.
CLEANING AND SERVICING
A. The appliance
„
Unplug the appliance from the power socket each time you clean it, and leave to cool.
„
Clean the outside of the appliance from time to time with a damp sponge. Clean
and dry the tank, drip tray and grid regularly.
„
Rinse the inside of the tank regularly.
„
When a fine white layer clouds your tank, follow the descaling process (see
paragraph DESCALING).
„
Do not use alcohol-based cleaning products or solvents.
„
After you have unplugged the appliance, regularly clean the grid through which the
water passes, as well as the watertight seal, using a damp sponge (26).
„
Clean using only a damp cloth without any detergent or scourer.
B. The filter holder
„
Using a damp cloth, clean the filter holder mount regularly in order to remove
possible coffee residues stuck to the surface (26).
„
In order to prolong the useful life of the watertight seal on the brewing head, do
not put the filter holder back in place if the coffee machine has not been used for
extended periods.
„
To remove any deposits that could block the flow of your 1 or 2 cup filter, you may
use the needle (32).
C. The drip tray
This must be emptied each time the appliance is used. If several espressos are prepared
consecutively, it is recommended that you empty it regularly (27-28) (approximately every
five cups). The presence of water is normal and is not a sign of leakage. If necessary,
clean the drip tray and the grid with water and a small amount of mild washing up liquid.
Rinse and dry.
D. The steam wand
„
Place a container containing water under the steam wand.
„
To produce steam, turn the selection button to the Preheat position (D1-3) (10).
„
The on/off light will flash again and then remain on. The appliance is now ready to
follow the steam cleaning cycle.
„
As soon as the light stays on, plunge the steam wand into the water without
touching the bottom of the container.

„
Turn the selection button to the steam position (D1-4) (24).
„
Turn on for 20 seconds.
„
After turning off the steam, quickly and carefully clean the steam wand using a
damp sponge (in order to remove any residue).
„
The end of the wand can be removed using the measuring scoop for a deeper
clean. Take care not to lose the watertight seal on this end piece (29).
„
Rinse it under the tap and then remove any residues using a damp sponge (30).
„
You can unblock the wand outlet using a needle.
„
Screw it back on using the measuring scoop, checking that the seal is still there,
and making sure that the end piece is screwed on correctly (31).
IMPORTANT!
Warning! Do not clean any parts of this appliance in a dishwasher.
DESCALING
Regularly descaling your appliance, as described in paragraphs A and B for coffee and
steam function, is the main factor in prolonging its useful life. The frequency with which
you descale the appliance is related to the hardness of your water. Get advice from your
water supplier.
During this procedure, do not place your appliance on a marble work surface. The
descaler might alter it.
„
To help you, below is a table indicating the frequency with which you should descale
the appliance depending on the hardness of the water used in the machine:
DESCALING FREQUENCY
Average number of Soft water
coffees per week (<19°f)
Fewer than 7 Once a year
From 7 - 20 Every 4 months
More than 20 Every 3 months
If in doubt, monthly descaling is recommended.
No repairs on the coffee machine in the case of:
„
no descaling carried out,
„
limescale build-up,
„
accessories cleaned in a dishwasher,
will be covered by the guarantee.
A. Descaling the system
„
Unplug the appliance.
„
Insert the filter holder (without coffee) into the appliance and lock it in place, turning
it to the right as far as it will go (8).
„
Place a container with a volume greater than 1/2 litre under the filter holder (13).
„
Ensure that the selection button (D1) is in the O position (D1-1) (5).
„
Fill the tank with a mixture of three parts water to one part vinegar or citric/sulfamic acid.
„
Plug the appliance in (1). Switch on the appliance by pressing the on/off button (6).
