16. CLEANING U
16.1 Cleaning the machine
The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:
- the appliance’s internal circuit;
- coee grounds container (A25);
- drip tray (A24) and drip tray grille(A22);
- water tank (A20);
- coee spouts(A14);
- pre-ground coee funnel (A3);
- infuser (A11), accessible after opening the infuser door
(A10);
- milk container (D).
Important!
• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean
the coee machine.With De’Longhi superautomatic coee
machines, no chemical products are required for cleaning
purposes.
• The following components are dishwasher safe:
• milk container (D)
• grounds container (A25)
• drip tray (A24)
• drip tray grille (A22)
• coee spouts (A16) and (A17)
• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
16.2 Cleaning the internal circuit
If the appliance is not used for more than 3/4 days, before using
it again, we strongly recommend switching it on and perform-
ing 2/3 rinse cycles by selecting the "Rinse" function (section
“6.1 Rinsing”).
Please note:
After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A25) to
contain water.
16.3 Cleaning the coee grounds container
When "Empty grounds container" appears on the display (B5),
the grounds container must be emptied and cleaned. The ap-
pliance cannot be used to make coee until you have cleaned
the grounds container (A25). Even if not full, the empty grounds
container message is displayed 72 hours after the rst coee has
been prepared. For the 72 hours to be calculated correctly, the
machine must never be turned o with the main switch (A7).
Important! Danger of burns
If you make a number of milk-based beverages one after the
other, the metal cup tray (A21) 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
(A24) and grounds con-
tainer (A25) (g. 32);
2. Empty the drip tray and
grounds container and
clean thoroughly to re-
move all residues left on
the bottom. This can be
done using the spatula on
the brush (C5) provided.
3. Put the drip tray complete
with grille and grounds
container back in the
appliance.

when you make the next coees, the grounds container will ll
up more than expected and clog the machine.
16.4 Cleaning the drip tray and drip tray grille
Important!
The drip tray (A24) is tted with a level indicator (A23) (red)
showing the amount of water it contains (g. 33). Before the
indicator protrudes from the cup tray (A21), the drip tray must
be emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may overow 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 and grounds container (A25) (g. 32);
2. Check the condensate tray (red) and empty if necessary;
3. Remove the cup tray
(A21), and drip tray grille
(A22), then empty the
drip tray and grounds
container and wash all
components.
4. Put the drip tray complete
with grille and grounds
container back in the
appliance.
Important!
When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be
emptied, even if it contains few grounds. If this is not done,
