Cleaning

Danger!

•  During cleaning, never immerse the coffee machine 

in water. It is an electrical appliance.

•  Before performing any cleaning operations on the 

external parts of the appliance, switch the machine 
off,  remove  the  plug  from  the  socket  and  let  the 
machine cool down.

Cleaning and maintenance of the filter

Clean  the  filter-holder  and  ground  coffee  filter  about 
every 300 coffees or if the coffee drips through the filter-
holder and does not flow unrestricted:
•  Remove the filter from the filter-holder.
•  Unscrew  the  filter  cap  (fig.  21)  in  the  direction 

indicated by the arrow on the cap itself.

•  Slide the cream enhancer device from the container 

by pushing it from the cap end.

•  Remove the gasket.
•  Rinse  all  components  and  clean  the  metal  filter 

thoroughly using hot water and a brush (fig. 22). 
Check  that  the  holes  in  the  metal  filter  are  not 
blocked. If this is not the case, clean them using a 
pin (see fig. 23) or when descaling.

•  Re-mount the filter and the gasket on the plastic 

disc  as  indicated  in  (fig.  24).  Make  sure  that  the 
plastic  disc  pin  is  inserted  inside  the  hole  in  the 
gasket as indicated by the arrow in (fig. 24).

•  Re-insert the unit into the steel container for the 

filter (fig. 25), making sure that the pin is inserted 
into  the  hole  of  the  support  itself  (see  arrow  fig. 
25).

•  Finally, tighten the tap.
The  warranty  is  not  valid  if  the  cleaning  operations 
described above are not performed on a regular basis.

Cleaning the boiler outlet

About every 300 coffees the espresso boiler outlet must 
be cleaned as follows:
•   Make sure that the coffee machine is not hot and 

the plug is disconnected from the socket;

•   Use a screwdriver to remove the screw that fixes the 

espresso boiler outlet (fig. 26);

•   Remove the boiler outlet;
•   Clean the boiler using a damp cloth; 
•   Clean the outlet thoroughly using hot water and a 

brush. Check that the holes are not blocked. If this is 
not the case, clean them using a pin (fig. 23).

•   Re-mount  the  boiler  outlet,  paying  attention  to 

position it correctly on the gasket.

The  warranty  is  not  valid  if  the  cleaning  operations 
described above are not performed on a regular basis.

Other cleaning operations

1.  Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean 

the machine. Use a soft, damp cloth. 

2.   Clean the filter-holder cup, the filters, drip tray and 

water tank regularly. 

 

To empty the drip tray, remove the cup warmer grid, 
remove the water and clean the tray using a cloth: 
then re-assemble the drip tray. 

 

Clean the water tank using a soft bottle-brush in 
order to reach the bottom.

Danger! 

During cleaning, never immerse the machine in water: it 
is an electric appliance.
