CLEANING THE ESPRESSO BOILER OUTLET
About every 300 coffees, the espresso boiler out-
let must be cleaned as follows:
• check that the coffee machine is not warm and
the plug is detached from the mains;
• using a screwdriver, unscrew the two screws that
hold the outlet of the espresso boiler (fig. 19);
• clean the boiler with a damp cloth (fig. 20);
• clean the outlet thoroughly in hot water using a
brush. Make sure the holes are not blocked. If
necessary, clean with a pin.
• rinse the outlet under the tap, still scrubbing it;
• replace the outlet of the espresso boiler.
Failure to clean as described above invalidates
the guarantee.
DESCALING
You are recommended to descale the coffee
machine about every 300 coffees. You should use
a commercially available product specifically for
descaling espresso coffee machines. If you cannot
obtain such a product, you can also follow the
procedure below.
1. First clean the coffee machine, turn off and
unplug from the outlet.
2. Fill the carafe to the brim.
3. Dissolve 1 spoonful (about 10/15 g) of citric
acid;
4. Pour the solution into the boiler.
5. Replace the boiler cap and leave the solution
to work for about 30 minutes.
6. Place the selector in the "LIGHT" position.
7. Put the filter and filter holder in position (without
coffee).
8. Position the carafe on the drip tray.
9. Plug into the outlet.
10.Turn the coffee machine on. After a few min-
utes, the hot solution will start to flow through
the filter holder into the carafe.
11.Place the steam tube in a glass or cup. Open
the steam knob for a few seconds while the
descaling solution flows through the filter
holder. This cleans all residues of milk from
inside the tube.
12.Close the steam knob (the descaling solution
will continue to flow into the carafe).
13.When the solution stops flowing into the
carafe, turn off and allow the machine to
cool down. Remove the filter holder, filter
and carafe and rinse with hot water.
14.To remove traces of descaler, perform at
least 2 coffee-making cycles without coffee.
