8.5.1 General instructions
A few simple cleaning tasks are required to have a per-
fectly sanitised and efficient appliance. The instructions
provided here apply when the machine is being used
on a regular basis. If the machine is used consistently,
cleaning should be performed more frequently.
Do not use alkaline cleaners, solvents, alcohol or aggressive
substances. The products/cleaners used must be suitable for this
purpose and not corrode the water circuit elements.
Do not use abrasive cleaners which may scratch the bodywork's
surface.
Always use clean and sanitised cloths when cleaning.
When washing the filters, filter holders and all machine
components, use Manufacturer-supplied cleaners or products
specific for cleaning professional coffee machines.
