If you make a number of cappuccinos one after the other, the 
metal cup tray becomes hot.  
Wait for it to cool down before touching it and handle it from 
the front only. 
 
To clean (with the machine on):
•  Remove the drip tray (fig. 26), empty and clean.
•  Empty  the  grounds  container  and  clean  thoroughly  to

remove all residues left on the bottom. This can be done 
with the spatula on the brush  provided.

•  Check the condensate tray (red) and empty if necessary.

When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be 
emptied, even if it contains few grounds.
If this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the 
grounds container may fill up more than expected and clog the 
machine. 

The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (red) showing the 
level of water it contains (fig. 27). 
Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray, the drip tray 
must be emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may over-
flow the edge and damage the appliance, the surface it rests on 
or the surrounding area. 

To remove the drip tray:
1.  Remove the drip tray and the grounds container (fig. 26);
2.   Empty the drip tray and grounds container and wash 

them;

3.   Check the red condensate tray and empty if necessary. 
4.   Replace the drip tray and grounds container. 

Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must be turned 
off (see “Turning off”) and unplugged from the mains power 
supply. 
Never immerse the coffee maker in water.

1.  Check regularly (about once a month) that the inside of 

the appliance (accessible after removing the drip tray) is 
not dirty.  If necessary, remove coffee deposits with the 
brush provided or a sponge. 

2.   Remove the residues with a vacuum cleaner (fig. 28).

Cleaning the water tank
1.  Clean the water tank (A17) regularly (about once a month 

and whenever you replace the water softener filter (if 
provided) with a damp cloth and a little mild washing up 
liquid. 

2.   Remove the filter (if present) and rinse with running 

water. 

3.   Replace the filter (if provided), fill the tank with fresh wa-

ter and replace the tank. 

Cleaning the coffee spouts
1.  Regularly clean the coffee spouts with a sponge or cloth 

(fig. 29A).

2.   Check the holes in the coffee spout are not blocked.  If 

necessary, remove coffee deposits with a toothpick (fig. 
29B). 

Cleaning the pre-ground coffee funnel
Check regularly (about once a month ) that the pre-ground 
coffee funnel (A6) is not blocked. If necessary, remove coffee 
deposits with the brush (D2) supplied. 

Cleaning the infuser
The infuser (A11) must be cleaned at least once a month.

The infuser may not be extracted when the machine is on. 
1.  Make sure the machine is correctly turned off (see “Turn-

ing the appliance off” on page 9). 

2.   Remove the water tank.
3.   Open the infuser door (fig. 30) on the right side. 
4.   Press the two red release buttons inwards and at the same 

time pull the infuser outwards (fig. 31).

5.   Soak the infuser in water for about 5 minutes, then rinse 

under the tap.

NO WASHING UP LIQUID - NO DISH WASHER

 

Clean the infuser without using washing up liquid as it 
could be damaged.

the infuser housing, visible through the infuser door. 

7.   After cleaning, replace the infuser by sliding it onto the 

internal support; then push the PUSH symbol fully in until 
it clicks into place.
