8.7.1 General instructions

In order to have a perfectly sanitised and efficient ap-
pliance, a few simple cleaning tasks are required. The in-
structions provided here apply when the machine is being
used on a regular basis. If the machine is constantly being
used, then cleaning should be performed more frequently.
Do not use alkaline cleaners, solvents, alcohol or aggressive
substances. The products/ cleaners that are used have to be suitable
for this purpose and must 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.
