Question 1

Should I descale the LA PAVONI New Botticelli Speciality coffee machine and how?

Accepted Answer

Yes, regular maintenance of your LA PAVONI New Botticelli Speciality is important, but the manual emphasizes cleaning more than traditional chemical descaling.

According to the user manual, here’s what you need to do:

Regular cleaning (to be done regularly)

Use a blind filter with a specialized coffee machine detergent: run the brew for 15-20 seconds, then repeat until clear water is obtained
Clean the steam and hot water wands after each use with a damp cloth, then release a small jet of steam
Soak your filters for 20-30 minutes in boiling water with coffee detergent to remove residues

Before long periods of non-use

Run some water through the group to eliminate any possible deposits

Your machine's manual does not prescribe periodic chemical descaling like some other automatic machines. Using a specialized coffee detergent during regular cleanings is generally sufficient to keep your device in good condition. If you live in an area with very hard water, you may consider descaling with a product suitable for espresso machines, but this is not mandatory according to the provided manual.

Question 2

How to empty the water from the LA PAVONI CELLINI coffee machine?

Accepted Answer

To empty the water from your LA PAVONI CELLINI coffee machine, start by turning off the machine by placing the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position and unplugging it from the electrical outlet without pulling on the main cable.

Removing the water reservoir: Remove the cover of the machine to access the water reservoir (n°2) located inside. Gently lift the reservoir by pulling it out of its position to completely free it. Pour out all the water contained in the reservoir into a sink or suitable container. Rinse the reservoir with cold water before putting it back in place.

Draining residual water from the internal conduits: If you want to drain the water that remains in the boiler and internal circuits, turn the machine upside down and remove the cap (W) from the drainage tray located under the machine. Connect the silicone hose (n°25) provided with the machine to the tray (Y) to direct the draining water directly into a drain or collection basin. After turning off and replacing the empty water reservoir, you can turn on the machine and briefly operate the group lever to let the remaining water flow out of the circuits.

Cleaning the drainage tray: Remove the mesh from the drainage tray (n°8) and extract the lower drainage tray (n°13) to eliminate coffee residues. Clean it thoroughly, then reinstall it correctly.

Drying and replacing: Once the water is drained, completely dry the reservoir with a soft cloth before putting it back in place in the machine. Ensure that the silicone hoses are properly inserted into the reservoir housing and close the machine's cover. Important: only use cold water to fill the reservoir in the future, never hot or warm water, as this could damage the system.

These steps will allow you to completely empty the water from your LA PAVONI CELLINI for cleaning, regular maintenance, prolonged storage, or transport of the device.
