4.2 Cleaning/care
When cleaning the machine, parts must not be immersed in wa-
ter or sprayed down with a water hose
Professional coffee machines represent a considerable invest-
ment, whose value should be maintained.
In order to guarantee long-term, trouble-free use, the machine
must be cleaned at least once a day, after no longer than 12
hours of operation. A suitable time would be before switching
off at the end of the day.
In the case of 24-hour operation, the machine must be cleaned at least two times during
the day.
A well-maintained coffee machine not only looks good, italso prepares better coffee over
a longer period of time.
4.2.1 External cleaning
• Wipe down regularly all plastic
parts, painted surfaces and stain-
less steel surfaces with a damp
cloth. Do not use any abrasive sub-
stances or sharp objects.
• For special care of stainless steel
surfaces we recommend cleaning
agents in spray cans.
• Spray stainless steel surfaces light-
ly, leave shortly to sink in and
wipe off with a dry cloth. Do not
spray on plastic parts.
4.2.2 Cleaning time
• Our technical service engineer can
set 2 clean-ing times. When one of
these times has passed, and the
machine has been in operation for
over one hour and dispensed at
least one product since its last
cleaning, the "time to clean" and
"ready for operation" pictures al-
ternate in the display.
No more than max. 50 products can now be dispensed. This display only disappears after
a complete cleaning process has been carried out.
