How to clean
Remove the brew group from the machine (see
'Removing and inserting the brew group'). Rinse it
under the tap (see 'Cleaning the brew group under
the tap').
Clean the brew group with the Philips coffee oil
remover tablet (see 'Cleaning the brew group with
the coffee oil remover tablets').
First dispense hot water with the milk frother
attached to the machine for thorough cleaning.
Then remove the milk frother from the machine and
disassemble it. Clean all parts under the tap or in the
dishwasher.
Unplug the machine and remove the brew group.
Open the lid of the pre-ground coffee compartment
and insert the spoon handle into it. Move the

Remove the coffee grounds container while the
machine is switched on and rinse it under the tap.
Remove the drip tray (Fig. 24) and rinse it under the
