CLEANING
A. BASIC CLEANING
Disconnect the appliance from the mains and
•
let it cool before undertaking any cleaning task.
Clean the equipment with a damp cloth with a
•
few drops of washingup liquid and then dry.
Do not use solvents, or products with an acid
•
or base pH such as bleach, or abrasive prod-
ucts, for cleaning the appliance.
Do not let water or any other liquid get into the
•
air vents to avoid damage to the inner parts of
the appliance.
Neither parts of this appliance are suitable for
•
cleaning in the dishwasher.
After washing, dry all the parts before fitting
•
them together and storing.
B. CLEANING THE FROTHING WAND
CAUTION! The frothing wand, and frothing
•
sleeve may be VERY HOT.
It is recommended to purge and wipe the froth-
•
ing wand after steaming milk to prevent depos-
its of dirt and before turning off the machine.
To do this, pull the frothing sleeve turning first
•
clockwise and later pulling down, and clean un-
der warm running water.
Fill a cup with a bit of water, immerse the froth-
•
ing wand into the water, open the Water/Steam
Knob.
Press one of coffee Icons (E1 or E2), and Wa-
•
ter will come out. Push again over coffee icon
and water will stop.
Then turn the Water/Steam Knob(O) clock-
•
wise, until to close it.
Use a cloth to dry the frothing wand and re-
•
place the frothing sleeve.
In case no water (or steam) comes out of the
•
frothing wand, hardened milk blocks its path.
Carefully use a needle to loosen the milk resi-
•
due from the opening of the frothing tip
to remove any blockage.
•
Once clean, rinse with running water from the
•
tap and reassemble it. Then steam again.
HOW TO DEAL WITH LIME SCALE INCRUS-
TATIONS:
For the appliance to work correctly it should be
•
kept free of lime scale or magnesium incrusta-
tions caused by the use of hard water.
To prevent this kind of problem, we recom-
•
mend the use of water with low lime or magne-
sium mineralisation.
However, if it is not possible to use the kind of
•
water recommended above, you should peri-
odically remove the lime scale from the appli-
ance:
- Every 6 weeks if the water is "very hard".
- Every 12 weeks if the water is "hard".
To do so, we recommend the use of the specif-
•
ic product Decal for this kind of machine, which
can be found in specialised shops and author-
ised technical services.
Homemade solutions are not recommended in
•
the descaling of this appliance.
