6. Cleaning and maintenance

o Before beginning with repair or cleaning works make sure the device has been disconnected from power socket (pull the power plug!!!) and has cooled down. o Do not use any acid agents and make sure no water ingresses the device. o Device, cable or plug should never be dunked into water or other liquids. In case liquids enter the inside of the coffee machine the device must be dried and checked by a technician. CAUTION! The device is not suited for direct washing via water jets. Therefore, you must not use any kind of pressure water jet for cleaning the device!

Clean the coffee maker regularly. Disconnect the machine from its power source (remove the plug!) The exterior may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents. Clean the strainer at the end of the (working) day, with only a „blind strainer“ and water. Clean using appropriate cleaning agents once a week.

a) Remove the strainer from the brewing head. b) Place the filter membrane in the filter basket (see fig. 8). c) Put some of the cleaning substance into the strainer. Use a commercially available cleaning substance for professional coffee makers. d) Turn the strainer in the brewing head until it settles in. Filter basket

fig. 8- 41 - e) Turn off the device via the main on/off switch (see (8) fig. 1). f) Press the “2 x espresso” button for the brewing assembly which is to be cleaned, and hold it down while turning of the device using the main on/off switch. The automatic self-cleaning process will begin and it is no longer necessary to hold the button down. ATTENTION! After cleaning with a cleaning substance, remove the filter basket and turn the device on in order to rinse out any remaining chemicals. Repeat the above process without using any cleaning substances. Never turn the device on during the self-cleaning process. After the cycle is complete the device is prepared to return to normal operation.

• For water hardness above 6° you should connect a water softener unit to the device. • If, despite the connection of a water softener unit the inside of the coffee maker still scales up, then decalcification should be performed only by a service employee. Never decalcify the device on your own.

6.3 Safety instructions for maintenance

o Every now and then, the power cable should be checked for damages. Never use the device when the cable is damaged. In case the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by a qualified electrician. o When you encounter damages or failures contact your specialist dealer or our customer service. Pay attention to the troubleshooting tips in pt. 7. o Any maintenance or repair work may only be carried out by a qualified technician using original spare and accessory parts. Do not try to carry out repair work yourself at any time!- 42 -

7. Possible Malfunctions

The following problems with functioning are the result of calcium deposits: o Coffee is not at the right temperature: - Heat outflow channels are blocked by deposits. o Water is not flowing from all brewing assemblies: - Deposits are blocking the flow of water. ATTENTION! To prevent malfunctioning of the device due to the formation of calcium deposits, with water hardness greater than 6° the device must be connected to a water softener unit.

Problems with grinding: o Coffee comes out too fast: - Change grinding settings, as at present they are too coarse. o Coffee comes out too slowly: - Change grinding settings, as at present they are too fine. If any other problems occur with the functioning of the device, contact a Customer Service Centre. Alarm signals on the service panel
