The ground coffee in the lter holder has to be pressed lightly. Whether the coffee is stronger or weaker depends on the

degree the coffee is ground, the quantity put into the lter holder and the pressing. Just a few seconds are needed for the

coffee to ow down into the cups. If the dispensing time is longer, this means that the coffee is ground too ne or that the

coffee put into the lter holder has been pressed too much.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

Warning!

All operations must be performed when the machine is cold.

Cleaning the lter containing the grounds

Check that the holes are not clogged and if so, clean them with a small brush (Fig. 23). Dispense boiling water from the lter

holder with the lter inside, without coffee grounds, after placing a glass underneath the dispenser in order to dissolve or

• Turn off the machine, disconnect the power cable from the socket-outlet and clean the coupling seat of the lter holder

with a sponge in order to remove any detergent residue from the shower disc.

• Turn the machine back on, couple the lter holder once again and dispense at least 2 cups of water again to complete the

rinsing.

If the coffee machine is used daily, it is advisable to carry out the cleaning operation at least every three months.

Cleaning the silicone disc

Wash the silicone disc (P) under running water, bending it slightly on the sides in order to free the centre hole of any residue

Perform this operation when the chrome-plated pipe is cold so as to prevent burns.

Unscrew the device (J) from the small pipe and wash it with running water. The small pipe can be cleaned with a non-abra-

sive cloth. Screw the cappuccino maker back on as far as it will go. If necessary, clean the small steam outlet hole again with

a pin. After use, always let the steam nozzle run for a few seconds so to free the outlet from any possible residue.
