Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.
Never use abrasive or chloric detergents!
Empty the water drip tray regularly and do not wait until it is full.

7.2 Brew group cleaning

A brew group cleaner (in powder or tablet form) is available at your specialised dealer. A cleaning should be
done after about 90 - 140 times. It depends on the actual use of the machine. The cleaning is carried out by
using the blind filter included with delivery. Follow the instructions as noted below:
. Heat up the machine. It is not necessary to switch on the steam boiler.
. Place the blind filter into the portafilter.
. Put a cleaner (in powder or tablet form) into the portafilter.
. Clamp the portafilter into the brew group.
. Operate the group lever for approx. 20 seconds. The blind filter will fill with water.
. Let the detergent react, moving the group lever into the middle position, approx. 45°. (Do not move it into
the lower position.)
. Move the lever into the lower position after approx. half a minute. This way, the fats and oils can be
discharged by the infusion cylinder.
. Repeat points 5-7 until only clear water is discharged by the infusion cylinder.
. Rinse the porta filter and the blind filter with fresh water. Then replace the blind filter with the filter for
coffee.
. Operate the group lever for approx. 20-30 seconds. Then move it back into the lower position.
. Rinse the portafilter again and repeat point 10. After this, the brew group is ready for use.
. Exchange the blind filter for the coffee filter
In case you programmed the cleaning mode, the"CLn" will disappear on the display after
having operated the brew group lever 10 times. The counter will then restart until the next
cleaning advice.
If you clean the brew group to often with cleaner, it may start squeaking. Don´t clean it to
often with cleaner, you will degrease all the moving parts and they will wear out quickly. It´s
better if you clean the brew group from time to time without cleaner.
Please find more information about how to program the group cleaning mode in chapter 6.2.3
