5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean the coee machine.
• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coee deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
• If the appliance is not used for more than a week, before using it again, we recommend you perform a rinse cycle.
Danger!
• While cleaning, never immerse the coee maker in water. It is an electrical appliance.
• Before cleaning the outside of the appliance, turn it o, unplug from the mains socket and allow to cool.

7. WATER HARDNESS
7.1 Water hardness
The descale light (B3) comes on after a period of time established according to water hardness. The machine can also be pro-
grammed according to the actual hardness of the water supply in the various regions, in which case descaling may be required less
frequently.
1. Remove the“TOTAL HARD-
NESS TEST” indicator paper
(C5) from its pack.
2. Immerse the paper
completely in a glass of
water for one second.
3. Remove the paper from
the water and shake
lightly.
4. Set the appliance as indi-
cated in section“3. Menù
settings”.
After about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares form, depending
on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to one
level.

8. CLEANING THE STEAM NOZZLE
1. After every use, remove
with a soft damp cloth
any milk residues from
the steam wand (A9) and
the nozzle.

cleaning.
3. To maintain the better
usability of the nozzle,
