residues can form in the crevice on the
knob (Figure 25/A “arrow”).
As these
residues can have an adverse effect
on the frothing results we suggest
that the part indicated with an
“arrow” in the figure should be
cleaned particularly thoroughly.
Finally, rinse the parts with clear water
and dry them.
Do not clean these parts in a dish-
washer as this will damage the seals.
Outlet and spouts:
Clean with a damp
cloth as required.
Filler opening for ground coffee:
Clean with a damp cloth as required.
Then wipe dry.
Housing:
Clean with a damp cloth as
required, also the inner parts of the
housing that only become accessible
when the drip catcher is removed
(Figure 24).
Bean container:
Clean with a dry
cloth from time to time.
8.2. Internal Cleaning
Important:
Only use original AEG
cleaning tablets! They are available
from an AEG Service Force Centre
(ET No. 663 910 480) or from a special-
ist retailer (E No. 950 078 803).
Your appliance has a cleaning pro-
gramme for cleaning interior parts
(duration approx. 15 min.). There is
no
need
to remove the brewing unit for
cleaning this appliance.
If “CLEAN UNIT” appears in the display
(Figure 1/T), you should run the clean-
ing programme as described below. The
appliance may also be cleaned sooner.
You can, however, also continue to use
your appliance and run the cleaning
programme later.
However, in this way
you will endanger your rights to
make a claim under the guarantee,
as the unit (and thus also customer
service) will detect overdue cleaning!
Clean the appliance as follows:
0
Position the programme selector at Po-
sition 5 (Cleaning). “CLEANING, PRESS
P BUTTON” appears in the display.
0
Fill the water tank to the maximum
mark.
0
Press the selection button on the pro-
gramme selector. “EMPTY TRAY, PRESS
P BUTTON” appears in the display. Emp-
ty the drip catcher and place a large
container under the coffee outlet.
0

programme selector. The cleaning
programme starts.
After a short while “DROP TABLET IN
COFFEE FUNNEL, PRESS P BUTTON”
appears in the display.
0
Now insert an original AEG cleaning
tablet in the coffee funnel (Figure 1/D).
0
Press the selection button on the pro-
gramme selector. “TABLET CLEANING
IN PROGRESS” appears in the display.
Water is now pumped through the sys-
tem at short intervals to release, with
the aid of the cleaning tablet, residues
of coffee inside the machine.
0
If the “EMPTY TRAY” display appears
during this procedure, empty the drip
catcher and spent coffee container and
refit them. “CLEANING, PRESS P BUT-
TON” then appears in the display.
0
Press the selection button on the pro-
gramme selector. The cleaning pro-
gramme is then continued. “TABLET
CLEANING IN PROGRESS” appears
again in the display.
When “SET P DIAL TO POS. 1” appears
in the display the cleaning programme
has ended.
Turn the programme selector to Posi-
tion 1. The type of coffee that was
selected last appears in the display.
If you want to check whether or how
often the appliance has been cleaned
to date:
0
Turn the programme selector (Figure
1/Q) to Position 9.
0
Keep pressing the selection button on
the programme selector until “COUN-
TER/T CLEANING …” appears in the dis-
play. The figure that follows it indicates
how often the cleaning programme has
been run.
