CLEANING AND CARE

CLEANING THE MACHINE
Each time you use the machine, you should clean and dry it before putting it away.
The filter basket and the backwater tank can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Remove the filters before washing.
Clean the outside surface of the machine with a damp cloth.
Do not use detergents or dripping wet cloths.
EXTERNAL FILTERS
The polyester filters of the filter basket should be cleaned and dried after every use.
Periodically, check the bottom filter. If necessary, clean it with cold water. Dry it before putting it back in place.
Periodically, check the HEPA (side filter) and, if necessary, replace it.
Keep the polyester filters clean (bottom filter, filter basket).
DECALCIFYING THE BOILER
Minerals dissolved in your local water, and especially calcium, can build up in the boiler. Over time, this build-up can cause problems
(longer warm-up times, greater energy costs, tube clogging). To prevent these problems, you should periodically decalcify the boiler.
Completely empty the boiler and pour in 1/2 a glass of white wine vinegar. Then, pour in 1/2 a litre of water. Screw the valve cap in
place and turn the machine on. Wait until the "steam ready" indicator comes on and then turn the machine off. At this point, switch the
appliance off, wait for the pressure in the boiler to decrease (until the manometer goes back to minimum), empty the boiler and rinse
out thoroughly with plenty of water. Do not attach any accessories or activate the steam button during decalcification!
To get the best performance out of your machine and avoid unnecessary energy waste, please follow the indications provided below.
Do not turn the boiler on if you are only going to use the suction function. Periodically clean (decalcify) the boiler. Mineral build-up on
the heating element limits its efficiency. See to proper filter maintenance (cleaning and replacement).

TROUBLESHOOTING

The machine does not turn on
Check that the machine is plugged in.
Check that the power outlet is functioning.
Check that the main on/off button is on.
The machine does not produce steam
Check that both the main and boiler on/off buttons are on.
Check the gauge to see if there is pressure.
Check that the regulation knob is not on minimum
Check the status of the "steam ready" indicator.
Check that the steam/suction handle is properly attached.
Check that the steam blocker (C) on the handle is not activated.
Check that there are no blockages in the accessory you are using.
The accessory produces water rather than steam
Empty the boiler completely and fill it with a maximum of 2.5 litres of water.
The float gauge does not close when it hits "full" and water leaks from the filters
Check that the float gauge is not blocked during its movement through the cylinder-shaped metal wire net.
Check that the F1 and F2 polyester filters have been properly positioned in the basket (2).
