13. Cleaning

13.1 Cleaning the machine

The following parts of the machine must be cleaned periodically:

• internal circuit;
• coffee grounds container (A10);
• drip tray (A14) and drip tray grille(A12);
• inside of the machine
• water tank (A9);
• pre-ground coffee funnel (A3);
• coffee spout (A16);
• removable infuser (A6), accessible after opening the relative service flap (A5);
• control panel (B).
• milk carafe (E)

Important!

• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean the machine. With De'Longhi superautomatic coffee machines, no chemical additives are required for cleaning purposes.
• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.

13.2 Cleaning the internal circuit

If the machine is not used for more than 3/4 days, it is strongly advisable, before using it after such a break, to empty the tank (A9) and refill it with fresh drinking water, then switch on and run 2/3 rinse cycles selecting the "Rinse" function (section "6.1 Rinsing").

Please note: It can happen, during the rinse procedure, that water will find its way into the grounds container (A10): this is quite normal.

13.3 Cleaning the coffee grounds container

When prompted by the machine, this must be emptied and cleaned. The machine cannot make coffee again until the grounds container (A10) has been cleaned. The machine will display the message indicating the need to empty the grounds container 72 hours after the first coffee has been prepared, even if the container is not full (for the 72 hours to be calculated correctly, the machine must never be disconnected from the mains power supply).

Important! Danger of scalding If you make a number of milk-based drinks one after the other, the metal cup tray (A11) becomes hot. Wait for it to cool down before touching it and handle it from the front only.

To clean (with the machine on):

1. Remove the drip tray (A14) and grounds container (A10) (fig. 27);
2. Empty the drip tray and the grounds container and clean thoroughly with a brush to remove all residues that may have collected on the bottom.
3. Reposition the drip tray in the machine, complete with grille (A12) and grounds container.

Important! When removing the drip tray, the coffee grounds container must always be emptied, even if it has not filled up noticeably. If this is not done, it can happen that when further coffees are prepared, the grounds container will fill up more than expected and clog the machine.

13.4 Cleaning the drip tray and drip tray grille

Important! The drip tray (A14) is fitted with a level indicator (A13) (red) showing the amount of water it contains (fig. 28).

Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray (A11), the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may overflow the edge and damage the appliance, the surface it rests on or the surrounding area. To remove the drip tray, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the drip tray complete with grille (A12) and tray, and the grounds container (A10) (fig. 27);
2. Check the condensate drip tray, which is coloured red (A15) and empty if necessary. Check the red-coloured condensate tray;
3. Remove the cup tray and the drip tray grille, then empty the drip tray and the grounds container, and wash all of the components;
4. Reposition the drip tray in the machine, complete with grille, tray and grounds container.

Important! When removing the drip tray, the coffee grounds container must always be emptied, even if it has not filled up noticeably. If this is not done, it can happen that when further coffees are prepared, the grounds container will fill up more than expected and clog the machine.

13.5 Cleaning the inside of the machine

Danger of electric shock! Before cleaning internal parts, the machine must be turned off (see section "5. Turning the appliance off") and unplugged from the mains power supply. Never immerse the machine in water.

2. Remove all residues with a vacuum cleaner (fig. 29).

13.6 Cleaning the water tank

Periodically (about once a month) and whenever the water softener filter (D4) is replaced, clean the water tank (A9).

1. Take out the water tank (fig. 2), remove the water softener filter (if installed) and rinse under running water;
2. Empty the water tank and clean with warm water (40 °C approx), wiping if necessary with a clean cloth. Rinse thoroughly with drinking water.
3. If previously removed, reinstall the filter (fig. 30), then fill the tank with cold water up to the MAX level (fig. 3) and return it to the machine;
4. (Only if a water softener filter is installed): release 100ml of hot water to reactivate the filter.

Please note: If the machine is not used for more than 3 days, it is advisable to clean the tank as described above.

13.7 Cleaning the pre-ground coffee funnel

Clean the pre-ground coffee funnel (A3) regularly (about once a month) with a damp cloth. Proceed as follows:

1. Turn the machine off (see section "5. Turning the appliance off");
2. Open the funnel flap;
3. Clean the funnel with a brush;
4. Close the flap.

Important! After cleaning, make sure that no object or accessory has been left in the funnel: the presence of foreign matter in the funnel during operation could cause damage to the machine.

13.8 Cleaning the coffee spouts

1. Clean the coffee spout(A16) regularly with a sponge or cloth (fig. 31);
2. Check that the holes in the coffee spout are not blocked. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a toothpick (fig. 32).

13.9 Cleaning the removable infuser

The infuser (A6) must be cleaned at least once a month.

Important! The infuser cannot be removed while the machine is on.

1. Make sure the machine is correctly turned off (see section "5. Turning the appliance off");
2. Remove the water tank (A9) (fig. 2);
3. Open the infuser door (A5) (fig. 33) on the right side of the appliance;
4. Press the two coloured release buttons inwards and at the same time pull the infuser outwards (fig. 34);
5. Immerse the infuser in water for about 5 minutes, then rinse under the tap;

Important! RINSE WITH WATER ONLY NO DETERGENTS - NO DISHWASHER

6. Do not use detergents when cleaning the infuser, as they could damage it.
7. Use a brush to remove any coffee residues left in the infuser housing, which can be seen through the infuser flap (A5);
8. After cleaning, replace the infuser by sliding it into its housing, then apply pressure to the PUSH symbol [PUSH-symbol] until it clicks into place;

Please note: If the infuser is difficult to insert, before insertion, adapt it to the right size by pressing the two levers (fig. 35).

9. Once inserted, make sure the two coloured buttons have snapped out;
10. Close the infuser flap;
11. Reposition the water tank in the machine.
