Perform this operation when the chrome-plated pipe is cold so as to prevent burns.
Unscrew the device (G) from the small pipe (Fig. 19) and wash it with running water. The small pipe can be cleaned with a
non-abrasive cloth. Screw the cappuccino maker back on as far as it will go. If necessary, clean the small steam outlet hole
again with a pin. After use, always let the steam nozzle run for a few seconds so to free the outlet from any possible residue.
Remember to clean occasionally the drip tray (M) with a sponge.
Remove the grill (N) and wash it under running water.
Clean the xed parts of the machine using only a damp, non-abrasive cloth so as to not damage the body.
Good maintenance and regular cleaning preserve and keep the machine efcient for a longer amount of time, considerably
limiting the risks of lime deposits forming inside the appliance. However, should your coffee machine fail to work properly
as a result of the frequent use of hard, high calcium content water, you may perform a decalcication procedure to restore
its operational efciency. For this purpose you must use only Ariete’s NOCAL, citric acid-based decalcifying products. This
product is easily found at the Ariete technical service centres. Ariete does not assume any responsibility whatsoever for
damage to components inside the coffee machine caused by the use of non-compliant products containing chemical addi-
tives. Should you need to decalcify your appliance, please follow the instructions which come with the decalcifying product.
If the machine is put out of service, electrically disconnect it. Empty the boiler, the drip tray and clean it (see "Appliance
Cleaning"). In the case of scrapping, you must separate the various materials used in making the machine and dispose of
them based on their composition and on the legal provisions in force in the country of use.
If there are problems with operation, immediately turn off the machine and unplug it from the socket-outlet.
Problems Causes Solutions
The coffee maker
does not supply
steam.
There is little water and the pump
does not suck it up. Check that the water level in the boiler is regular.
Fill with cool tap water. Unclog any deposits that may have formed in the hole of the
dispenser wand with a pin.
Coffee overowing
from the edges of
the lter ring.
Probably an excess amount of
ground coffee has been placed in
the lter ring preventing the lter
ring from being correctly tightened
into its housing.
Slowly remove and disconnect the lter holder because any
remaining pressure could cause splashes or squirts. Clean the
coupling seat with a sponge (Fig. 18). Repeat the operation
placing the correct quantity of coffee in the lter.
Residues of ground coffee have
remained on the gasket of the l-
ter holder coupling seat.
Clean the seal with a toothpick or a sponge (Fig. 18).
The exit holes of the lter contain-
ing coffee grounds are clogged. Slowly remove and disconnect the lter holder because any
remaining pressure could cause splashes or squirts. Clean the
clogged lter holes with a small brush or a pin. Clean the lter
using Ariete COFFEE CLEAN tabs, following the instructions
provided in the package.
