4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

clean them together with the removable grille. Dry them thoroughly.
Note
Do not clean the appliance with alcohol or solvents. Do not immerse the main body of the
appliance in water.

Cleaning mineral deposits
- Clean the mineral deposits every 2-3 months to ensure that the coffee machine operates
properly, that the internal piping is clean, and that coffee flavour is good.
- Fill the tank with water and descaling liquid up to the "MAX" level (the proportion of water
and descaling liquid is 4:1). Citric acid can also be used (available in chemist's or drug
stores), as well as descaling liquid (100 parts of water and 3 parts of citric acid).

to the main body as indicated in previous sections. Place a jug under the filter holder. Make
sure the steam knob is in the off position.

Then, press the coffee button and dispense about 500 ml (20 fl. oz.) of liquid. Press the
coffee button again to stop and wait for 5 seconds.

knob counterclockwise to release steam for 2 minutes. Then, turn the steam knob to the
off position and press the steam button again to stop. Allow the coffee machine to cool
down for 15 minutes.
