CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

A regular and accurate care is very important for the performance, the longevity and the safety of your
machine.
Caution!
Always switch off the machine (power switch in lower position), disconnect the power cord and
let the machine cool down to room temperature (for at least 30 minutes) before cleaning.

7.1 General cleaning

Daily cleaning:
Portafilters, filters, water tank, drip tray, drip plate of the drip tray and tamper require daily cleaning. Clean
with warm water and/or with a food safe detergent.
Clean the shower screen and the group gasket in the lower part of the group and remove visible dirt without
dissasembling the parts.
Cleaning as necessary:
Clean the steam and hot water wands after every use.
Clean the body when the machine is switched off and cold.
We suggest that you empty the water from the steam-/hot water boiler every 2 to 3 weeks. This makes sure
that there is always fresh water in the steam-/hot water boiler.
Empty the water drip tray regularly and do not wait until it is full.
Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.
Never use abrasive or chloric detergents!

7.2 Brew group cleaning and degreasing

A brew group cleaner in tablet form is available at your specialised dealer. With this detergent, you can clean
and degrease the group very easily. The cleaning is carried out using the blind filter included with delivery.
The group cleaning should be carried out after about 150 cups brewed.
Follow the instructions as noted below:
1 Heat up the coffee boiler.
2 Place the blind filter into the portafilter.
3 Put a cleaning tablet into the portafilter.
4 Clamp the portafilter into the brew group.
5 Operate the coffee switch. The blind filter will fill with water.
6 Turn the coffee switch on and off in intervals of 20 seconds. Stop once clear water comes out of the
drainage cylinder.
7 Unclamp the portafilter with the blind filter, rinse it with fresh water and replace it.
8 Once more operate the coffee switch in intervals of 20 seconds for 1 minute.
9 Unclamp the portafilter with the blind filter, rinse it with fresh water and re-insert the coffee filter. The
brew group is now operational again.
Caution!
Beware of hot water splashing while cleaning the group.

7.3 Prophylactic descaling

To avoid damages due to lime residues, a prophylactic, regular descaling may be
required. Please use the following descaling instructions. Doing so will protect your machine
against expensive repairs.
An already calcified machine may only be descaled by your specialised dealer because a partial
disassembling of the boiler and the tubing will be necessary in order to prevent the system from
being blocked by lime residues. A late descaling can cause substantial damage to the machine.
