Warning!
All operations must be performed when the machine is cold.
Cleaning the lter holder.
Start dispensing with the lter holder connected and without the pod inside by pressing the button (P) after having placed
a glass underneath the lter holder. In this way any coffee residue or impurities present in the lter holder will dissolve and
be removed.
Cleaning the lter holder seat
With time, coffee residue may accumulate on the lter holder seat. It can be removed with a toothpick, a sponge (Fig. 19),
or by letting water run through without tting the lter holder (Fig. 6).
Cleaning the cappuccino maker
Warning!
Perform this operation when the chrome-plated pipe is cold so as to prevent burns.
Unscrew the device (L) from the small pipe and wash it with running water. The small pipe can be cleaned with a non-abra-
sive cloth. Screw the cappuccino maker back on as far as it will go. If necessary, clean the small steam outlet hole again with
a pin. After use, always let the steam nozzle run for a few seconds so to free the outlet from any possible residue.
Cleaning the tank
Periodically clean the inside of the tank with a sponge or damp cloth.
Cleaning the drip tray
Remember to empty the drip tray (G) from time to time.
Remove the grill (E) Fig. 21 and wash it under running water. Remove the drip tray (G) from the machine together with the
tray (F) Fig. 22. Empty them and wash them under running water.
Cleaning the machine body
Warning!
Clean the xed parts of the machine using only a damp, non-abrasive cloth so as to not damage the body.
DECALCIFICATION
Good maintenance and regular cleaning preserve and keep the machine efcient for a longer amount of time, considerably
limiting the risks of lime deposits forming inside the appliance. However, should your coffee machine fail to work properly as
a result of the frequent use of hard, high calcium content water, you may perform a decalcication procedure to restore its
operational efciency. Ariete does not assume any responsibility whatsoever for damage to components inside the coffee
machine caused by the use of non-compliant products containing chemical additives. Should you need to decalcify your
appliance, please follow the instructions which come with the decalcifying product.
PUTTING OUT OF SERVICE
If you want to put the machine out of service, you must disconnect it electrically, empty the water tank and drip tray and clean
it (see the paragraph on “Cleaning the appliance”).
In the case of scrapping, you must separate the various materials used in making the machine and dispose of them based
on their composition and on the legal provisions in force in the country of use.
