• Replace the filter and gasket on the plastic disk as
shown in fig. 25.
Make sure to insert the pin on the plastic disk into the
hole in the gasket indicated by the arrow in fig. 25.
• Replace the resulting assembly in the steel filter
container (fig. 26), making sure the pin is inserted
into the hole in the support (see arrow in fig. 26).

Failure to clean as described above invalidates the
guarantee.
CLEANING THE BOILER OUTLET
About every 300 coffees, the espresso boiler outlet
must be cleaned as follows:
• Make sure the appliance is not hot and that it is
unplugged from the mains.
• Using a screwdriver, unscrew the screw fixing the
espresso boiler outlet filter (fig. 28).
• Clean the outlet filter thoroughly in hot water using a
brush. Make sure the holes are not blocked. If
necessary, clean with a pin.
Failure to clean as described above invalidates the
guarantee.
OTHER CLEANING OPERATIONS
1.Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products to
clean the appliance. A soft, damp cloth is sufficient.
2.Remove the drip tray, empty and wash frequently.
3.Clean the water tank regularly.
IMPORTANT: during cleaning, never immerse the
coffee machine in water. It is an electrical appliance.
DESCALING
You are recommended to descale the coffee machine
about every 200 coffees.
You should use a commercially available product
specifically for descaling espresso coffee machines.
If such a product is not available, proceed as follows.
1.Fill the tank with one litre of water.
2.Dissolve 2 spoonfuls (about 30 grams) of citric acid
(obtainable from chemist's or drug stores).
3.Rotate the selector knob to the position and wait
until the OK indicator light comes on.
4.Make sure the filter holder is not attached and
position a recipient under the boiler outlet.
5.Rotate the selector knob to the position (fig. 8)
and run off half the solution in the tank.
Then interrupt the flow by rotating the selector to the
"O" position (fig. 14).
6.Leave the solution to work for about 15 minutes, then
run off the rest of the water in the tank.
7.To eliminate residues of solution and scale, rinse the
tank well, fill with clean water and replace in
position.
8.Rotate the selector knob to the position (fig. 8)
and run off the water until the tank is completely
empty;
9 Rotate the selector knob to the position (fig. 5)
and repeat operations 7 and 8 again.
Repair of damage to the coffee machine caused by
scale is not covered by the guarantee unless descaling
is performed regularly as described above.
