2. Wash the drip tray, filling level indicator, and cup tray in warm soapy water
using a soft nylon brush or cloth. Wipe dry all parts.
3. Push the filling level indicator back onto its support until it engages with a click.
To ensure correct functioning, check whether the filling level indicator can move
freely up and down. When the filling level indicator sticks to the support, pull it
out again and turn it a little. Then insert the filling level indicator again.
4. Replace the cup tray. Insert the drip tray in the base of the housing.
Important: Within the base of the appliance, via an overflow opening surplus
water drains away from the group head. With the drip tray inserted correctly, the
water will flow into the drip tray. Thus, do not operate the appliance without the
drip tray inserted correctly.

CLEANING THE STORAGE CHAMBER

The cleaning tool and the second filter basket may be stored in the storage chamber
at the top of the housing. Because the storage chamber is covered by a lid, it will
not need much cleaning effort.
5. Remove the lid of the storage chamber and take out the cleaning tool and filter
basket.
6. You may clean the lid of the storage chamber, cleaning tool, and filter basket
in warm dishwater. Handle the cleaning tool with care to avoid pricking.
7. Thereafter rinse the parts thoroughly and wipe dry.
8. Wipe the interior of the storage chamber with a soft damp cloth. Then wipe dry.
9. Leave all parts and the storage chamber dry naturally. Then re-insert the acces-
sories and re-place the storage chamber lid.

CLEANING THE HOUSING AND WARMING PLATE

Important: Do not use abrasive cleaners, pads or cloths, which could scratch the
surfaces.
The outer housing, power cord, and warming tray can be cleaned with a soft, damp
cloth. Polish with a soft, dry cloth.

AFTER CLEANING

Leave all parts of the appliance dry naturally for at least 1/2 hours. Thereafter assem-
ble the appliance completely according to the instructions given for each component.

DESCALING THE MACHINE

Minerals solved in the water can cause lime build-up in and on many of the internal
components, reducing the water flow and power of the machine, and affecting the
quality of your coffee. To ensure optimum performance we recommend to descale
the appliance regularly according to the mineral content of the water used. At least,
with the DESCALING indicator illuminated, you should descale the appliance. For
descaling strictly adhere to the instructions given in this section.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to descale your machine using any descaling solu-
tion or any descaling procedure not recommended to avoid damage to the machi-
ne. Additionally your coffee could get undrinkable. Only use the descaling solu-
tions recommended in this booklet to avoid damage and health problems due to
harmful chemicals.
Important: The DESCALING indicator will remind you, if the appropriate amount
of water has been given off, according to the water hardness set (see: 'Adjusting
the Water Hardness'). You should change the factory setting only if the water
hardness of the water used for the machine is really medium or low. There is no
liability claim of the purchaser for any damage caused by excessive lime deposits
within the machine.
WARNING: During the descaling process hot water could drip from the
group head and steam wand. Always ensure to empty and re-insert the drip tray
in time at least with the filling level indicator (red button in the cup tray) coming up.
Otherwise, hot descaling liquid could run out. Always ensure good ventilation duri-
ng descaling. Do not aspire any vapours of the descaling solution to avoid
injuries to your aspiration tract.
It is best to use the Gastroback Premium De-Scaler (Art.- No.: 98175), containing
special additives for preserving the metal surfaces thus maintaining high perfor-
mance of our machines. Mix 70 ml of the Gastroback Premium De-Scaler with up to
1400 ml of clear water. Do not use any corrosive chemicals as these could damage
the metal and seals of the machine.
Because of the natural variations in water hardness and usage of the machine, we
can only give some guidelines for the frequency of descaling the machine. See the
following table as a rule of thumb:
