CLEANING
Daily cleaning
• Before cleaning, remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the appliance to
cool down.
• The appliance must not be immersed in water or any other liquid.
• Remove the drip tray and wash it and the grid, letting them dry completely before
replacing them.
• Remove the rubber tip from the steam nozzle. Wipe the steam nozzle with a damp
cloth, and wash the rubber tip in warm water, with a little detergent if necessary.
Rinse the rubber tip thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry completely
before replacing it.
• The best way to clean the appliance itself is to wipe it with a well-wrung cloth
using hot water and a little detergent.
• Do not use any kind of strong or abrasive cleaning agent on the appliance or
accessories. Never use a scouring sponge or similar to clean it, as this may
damage the surface.
• Empty the water reservoir if the appliance is not going to be used for a prolonged
period.
Cleaning the brewing head (twice a year)
• Remove the brewing head by undoing the screw in the centre of it.
• Wipe the area under and around the brewing head with a damp cloth and a small
amount of detergent.
• Clean the brewing head by rinsing it under the tap and removing any deposits
with a brush.
• Allow the brewing head to dry completely and replace it.
Descaling
The lime content of ordinary tap water means limescale may gradually be deposited
inside the appliance. This limescale may be loosened using acetic acid (NOT ordinary
vinegar) or descaler, available in supermarkets, etc.
•Mix 1 part acetic acid with 3 parts cold water, or follow the instructions on the
descaler packaging.
