1.15 Maintenance
It goes without saying that the machine
and the accessories have to be kept
thoroughly clean.
1.15.1 DAILY MAINTENANCE:
−Cleaning:
•Remove the plug from the wall
socket.
•Clean the inside and the outside of
the machine with a moist cloth, if

(4.1.1) from the hole.
3. Twist the mixing basin (4.1+4.2)
back and forth to remove it.
4. Pull the outlet (4.5) carefully off
the mixing chamber (4.4) by a

2. Clean these parts.
3. Clean the axle (4.8).
4. Replace all the parts in reverse
order.
Care! The mixer (4.6) contains
a dot (4.6.1). Slide the nut onto
the axle with the dot aligned to

1.15.3 CLEANING THE INGREDIENT
CONTAINERS:
−Before refilling the ingredient
containers:
•Use both hands to lift the ingredient
containers carefully out of the
machine, slanting it forward slightly.
•Use the brush that came with the
machine to remove residue from the
ingredient container (2) and the
corkscrew (plastic) or spiral (metal)
(2.3). Never use water or detergent
to clean this part of the machine.
•Replace the container in the same
way as you removed it, but in the
reverse order.
•Make sure:
−the connector (2.4) fits correctly
over the toothed wheel (2.5) in
the rear.
−the fixing lug of the container falls

1.16 Descaling
During use limescale deposits
accumulate in the machine. The machine
is equipped with a signalling function that
is activated after a certain number of
litres water have run through the machine
(see § 1.13.2 Setting descaling signal).
When this descaling signal is activated
(fig. 1 appears in the display), the
descaling program § 1.8.2 must be
started soon.
Before descaling read the instruction
manual and the recommendations on the
sachet of descaling agent. We
recommend to use Renegite, which we
have tested.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE **
•Stay with the machine throughout the
descaling process.
•Wear gloves and a facial protector
while descaling.
