Extraordinary maintenance
The machine is supplied with a blind filter used to clean the group and the solenoid valve. This operation must be performed at least once a week to remove coffee deposits in the circuit.
- Remove the filter holder from the group.
- Remove the filter from the filter holder.
- Insert the blind filter in the filter holder.
- Attach the filter holder to the group.
- Start coffee delivery for approximately 15 seconds, then stop delivery.
- Repeat the operation described above 10-15 times.
- Remove the filter holder and the blind filter.
During cleaning operations using the blind filter, boiling water will be discharged into the drain pan. Pay attention to possible splashing water which could exit from the cup rest grille. The procedure for cleaning the group may be performed with the aid of a degreasing product, specific for coffee machines. In this instance, follow the instructions of use for the product to be used.
