ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED USING

THE APPLIANCE: Turn the appliance o󰀨, using the on/o󰀨 switch. Unplug the appliance from the mains. Clean the appliance

SAFETY THERMAL PROTECTOR

The appliance has a safety device, which protects the appliance from overheating. When the appliance switches itself on and o󰀨 repeated- ly, for reasons other than the thermostat control, check to ensure that there are no obstacles that impede co- rrect air entry or expulsion. If the appliance turns itself o󰀨 and does not switch it- self on again, unplug it from the mains supply and wait approximately 15 minutes before reconnecting it. If it fails to switch on again, take it to one of the authorised technical assistance services. AUTO-OFF FUNCTION SOLAC machines are designed to save energy. Consequently, the appliance switches o󰀨 automatically 30 minutes after the last operation. To return to normal operation, simply press any button. CLEANING BETWEEN COFFEES To enjoy the best co󰀨ee, we recommend always kee- ping the co󰀨ee maker clean. Empty the co󰀨ee out of the lter by giving it a sharp tap or with the help of a spoon or utensil. Clean the lter with warm water or with a ne cleaning brush to remove any co󰀨ee remains. Use a damp cloth to wipe the shower (the lter holder support) to remove any co󰀨ee remains. CAUTION: Make sure not to touch any of the parts involved in the brewing (Filter, Shower) im- mediately after making a co󰀨ee.

BASIC CLEANING Unplug the appliance from the mains and let it cool be- fore performing any cleaning task. Clean the equipment using a damp cloth with a few drops of washing-up liquid and then dry. Do not use solvents or products with an acid or base pH, such as bleach or abrasive products, to clean the appliance. Do not let water or any other liquid get in through the air vents to avoid damaging the appliance’s internal components. The following parts are dishwasher safe: - Water tank - Drip tray - Co󰀨ee lters Next, dry all the parts before retting them and storing the appliance. Downloaded by: pd-oliana on 12-08-2022 14:11 CESTSTEAMER PIPE CLEANING ATTENTION! All of the steamer components can be- come very hot. It is advisable to clean the steamer pipe after genera- ting steam and before switching o󰀨 the machine to pre- vent a build-up of dirt. To do this, take the sleeve o󰀨 the steamer pipe. Place a glass containing with a little water, under the pipe and submerge the pipe in the water. Follow the instructions in the “Hot Water” section to make hot water come out through the pipe. Use a cloth to dry the pipe and put the sleeve back on. If no steam comes out, dry milk may be blocking the outlet. In which case, carefully use a needle to unclog the tip of the steamer pipe. Once clean, rinse under running tap water and reas- semble it. Generate some more steam.

HOW TO DEAL WITH LIME

SCALE INCRUSTATIONS: For the appliance to work correctly it should be kept free of limescale or magnesium deposits caused by using hard water. To prevent this kind of problem, we recommend the use of water with low lime or magnesium mineralisation. The co󰀨ee maker tells you when descaling is needed by beeping and the three lights switch on without as- hing. When this happens, ll the tank with 1L of water and add a descaling agent (citric acid, descaler...) Access the programming menu as described earlier in the manual. Place a large container (enough to hold 1L water) under the steamer pipe. Open the steam control to the MAX position. Press the steam heating button again and the machine will begin the descaling process. This process takes about 5 minutes. A specic anti-lime scale product should be used on this kind of product. NOTE: Should you also want to clean the entire co󰀨ee system, you can alternate the ow of water by using the steam control. NOTE: Home-made solutions, such as the use of vine- gar, are not recommended for de-scaling this appliance. Once the operation has nished, rell the tank with clean water and go through the process again, but without descaling agent, to eliminate any remains left inside the machine. Once nished, clean the water tank and the machine is now ready for use.

Take the appliance to an authorised technical support service if problems arise. Do not try to dismantle or re- pair it, as this may be dangerous.
