Your IMPRESSA has the following integrated maintenance pro-
grammes:
Z Rinse machine
Z Change filter
Z Clean machine
Z Decalcify machine
Z Rinse cappuccino frother

E Clean or descale the machine or change the filter whenever

To ensure that you get many years of reliable service out of your
IMPRESSA and to guarantee the optimum coffee quality, the
machine requires daily maintenance.
You should proceed as follows:
Z Empty the coffee grounds container and the drip tray. Rinse
them with warm water.
Z Rinse the water tank with clean water.
Z Dismantle and rinse the frother (see Chapter 6
‘Maintenance – Rinsing the cappuccino frother’).
Z Wipe the surface of the machine with a damp cloth.
When the IMPRESSA is switched on, a prompt to perform a rinse
operation appears after heating, or this is automatically started.
It can be set in programming mode whether the switch-on rinse
needs to be activated manually or whether the machine automati-
cally activates the switch-on rinse (see Chapter 5 ‘Permanent set-
tings in programming mode – Rinses’).
When the IMPRESSA is switched off, a rinse operation is automati-
cally initiated.
You can initiate the rinse operation manually at any time.
