Cleaning and care

cord and let the machine cool down. 
Wipe all outer surfaces with a damp 
cloth. Rinse the water tank once a day.

2.  When the waste water level indicator 
  (I) is visible above the grid, the drip 
  tray (H) must be emptied. Lift out the 
  grid, tray and used capsules container. 
  Empty, rinse, dry and put back in place. 
  This procedure should be carried out 
  every two or three days or after 10 
  brewed coffees.

The drip tray grid (G), drip tray (H) 

  and the used capsules container (J) are 
  all dishwasher proof.

 (F)

Pull the spout fully down and remove 
it by pulling it towards you. 
Clean and put back in place. 

1.  Descaling. We recommend to  

decalcify the machine regularly 
depending on the water hardness 
(2–3 months). We recommend to 
use Electrolux decalcifying solution 
EPD4/C/D/E/N/R (never use vinegar). 
Remove and empty the water container 
(E). Fill the water container with the 
descaling solution (follow product 
instructions).

2.  Press the ON/OFF button (A). When 
  the Espresso button light (B) remains 
  steady, place a bowl under the coffee 
 spout. 

Press and hold the Espresso 

  button (B) for 5 seconds to start the 
  descaling mode. The cup indicator 
  light (B) will flash at 1 second off and 
  1 second on. The cup indicator light 
  will then flash slowly during the 
  descaling process which takes 
  about 20 min.

3.  After descaling is finished, the cup 
  indicator light keeps ON to be ready 
  for coffee preparation. Before brewing 
  coffee, clean out the water container 
  and refill it with fresh water; run through 
  ½ container with fresh water to flush out 
  the system by pressing the Espresso 
  button once to start and once again 
  to stop.
