4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Regular cleaning and maintenance guarantee that the coffee machine works properly and
ensure that the coffee taste is optimal, that there is a constant flow of coffee and that the milk
froth is excellent for a long time.
Cleaning the milk tank and its spout
Once you have finished preparing your coffee with milk, you can either store the milk tank with
milk directly in the refrigerator or completely clean it together with the milk spout. It is highly
important to clean the milk frothing system immediately after preparing cappuccino or latte.
Milk residues can block the system and cause problems, which negatively influences the taste
of the coffee or creates a disgusting odour.
To clean the milk spout, follow the instructions below:
1. Place a large empty cup under the milk spout and make sure there is water in the water
tank.
2. Point the milk spout into the cup.
3. Press and hold the Latte button for 3 seconds. The machine will start producing hot water
from the milk spout.
4. This cleaning cycle will last for 35 seconds and then will automatically stop.
5. You can repeat steps 1 to 4 to make sure milk residues are completely removed.
6. The milk spout is now clean, and the milk tank can be stored in the refrigerator.
If you also intend to clean the milk tank, follow the instructions below:
1. Place a large empty cup under the milk spout and make sure there is water in the water
tank.
2. Remove the milk tank from the machine and get rid of the remaining milk. Fill the milk tank
with clean water.
3. Point the milk spout into the empty cup.
4. Press and hold the Latte button for 3 seconds. The machine will start producing hot
water from the milk spout. This cleaning cycle will last for 35 seconds and then will
automatically stop.
5. Press and hold the Cappuccino button for 3 seconds. The machine will start producing
steam. This process will last for 2 minutes and then will automatically stop.
6. You can repeat steps 1 to 5 to make sure milk residues are completely removed.
7. Rinse and wash all parts of the milk tank and cover thoroughly with soap and warm water.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they will scratch the finish.
NOTE: the milk tank and its cover are dishwasher safe.

Cleaning the filter holder and filters
Keep the filter holder and filters clean to ensure optimal results.
WARNING: to avoid burns, remove the filter only when the filter holder has cooled down
completely.
1. Remove the filter from the holder and wash it with warm water.
2. If you notice any faults when brewing coffee, immerse the filter in boiling water for 10
minutes and then rinse it with tap water.
Cleaning of the head where the filter holder is placed
Regularly remove ground coffee residue from the coffee head with a brush and wash it with
hot water following the steps below.
1. Insert the filter holder into the machine upper part without ground coffee.
2. Place an empty cup under the brewer head.
3. Press the espresso button twice and fill the cup with water.
4. Remove the filter holder from the brewer head and clean it with a dry cloth.
WARNING: do not attempt to disassemble the brewer head. It will damage the head and may
cause leakage.
Descaling
To ensure that your coffee machine works properly and that the taste of your coffee is
preserved, it is necessary to descale, clean and check the machine periodically.
In addition, after 500 times of preparation cycle, a descaling warning will appear. The power
button will flash 5 times to indicate that the machine needs to be descaled. The descaling
warning will appear every time you switch on the machine if you do not run the cycle.
Please, follow the next 4 steps to descale the machine.
1. Fill the water tank with coffee machine descaler (4 parts water to 1-part descaler) up to
the MAX mark.
ATTENTION: please also refer to the instructions of the descaler product. Use a commercial
household descaler or use citric acid instead. In this case, use 100 parts of water to three parts
of citric acid.
2. Place a cup or any other suitable container on the metal tray and press and hold the
Cappuccino and the Latte button at the same time for 5 seconds. The machine will start
the descaling process, which will last 6 minutes and stop automatically.
3. Repeat the above steps until all the water with the descaling product is used up.
4. Then, repeat the process two more times using only CLEAN TAP WATER without descaler.
CAUTION: the parts of the espresso machine and accessories are not dishwasher safe.
