14 Cleaning and Care
To ensure consistent coffee quality and
faultless operation, always keep your
coffee machine clean.
14.1 Regular cleaning
1 Caution! Before cleaning, switch off
the coffee machine and allow it to cool
down.
1 Note! Never put the coffee machine or
separate parts of the coffee machine in
the dishwasher. Never immerse the
coffee maker in water.
1 Note! Never put water in the coffee
bean container, as this would damage
the grinder.
1 Do not use any abrasive, scouring or
corrosive cleaning materials. Wipe the
inside and outside of the case only
with a damp cloth.
0 Remove the water tank daily (Fig. 6)
and discard any remaining water. Rinse
out the water tank with fresh water.
Use fresh water every day.
0 Empty the waste coffee container daily
or at the latest when the display
prompts you to do so; see „Emptying
the waste coffee container“, page 50.
0 Regularly drain the drip tray. This can
be done at any time, but must be done
when the red drip tray float (Fig. 28)
appears through the opening in the
drip grid.
0 Regularly (at least once per week)
clean the water tank (N), drip tray (O),
drip grid (A) and waste coffee con-
tainer (Q) with warm water, a mild
washing up liquid and possibly a brush.
0 Each time the machine is used for
frothing, remove the steam nozzle and
clean off any milk residues, see „Clean-
ing the steam nozzle“, page 45.
0 Check that the holes in the coffee dis-
penser are not blocked. To unblock
them, scrape any dry coffee residues
away with a needle (Fig. 29).
14.2 Emptying the waste coffee
container
The appliance counts the number of
coffees made. Every 14 single coffees
(or 7 doubles) the appliance displays
the message: «EMPTY WASTE
COFFEE CONTAINER» to indicate
that the waste coffee container is full
and must be emptied and cleaned.
Until the waste coffee container has
been cleaned, the appliance continues
to display the message and cannot
make coffee.
0 To clean it, unlock and open the service
door by pushing the respective button
(Fig. 30), then remove the drip tray
(Fig. 31), and empty and clean it.
0 Empty the waste coffee container and
clean it thoroughly, making sure that
all residues deposited on the bottom
are removed.
Important: Each time you pull out the
drip tray, the waste coffee container
must also be emptied, even if it is not
completely full. If this is not done,
when coffee is next made, the grounds
in the container may exceed the maxi-
mum level and block the appliance.
3 When you have removed the waste
container, the display shows «INSERT
WASTE COFFEE CONTAINER».
3 When the coffee machine is in daily
use, empty the container daily.
Always empty the container with the
coffee machine switched on, otherwise
the coffee machine does not register
that the container has been emptied.
14.3 Cleaning the grinder
Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner
to remove ground coffee residues from
the coffee beans container.
1 Note! Never put water in the grinder.
This would damage the grinder.
0 Press the "On/Off" key (Fig. 11) and the
main switch (Fig. 8) to switch off the
coffee machine. Unplug it from the
mains socket.
