The ground coffee in the filter holder has to be pressed lightly. Whether the coffee is stronger or weaker depends on the
degree the coffee is ground, the quantity put into the filter holder and the pressing. Just a few seconds are needed for the
coffee to flow down into the cups. If the dispensing time is longer, this means that the coffee is ground too fine or that the
coffee put into the filter holder has been pressed too much.

Warning!
All cleaning operations described below must be performed with the machine off and with the electric plug discon-
nected from the socket-outlet.
Warning!
Regular maintenance and cleaning preserve and keep the machine efficient for a longer amount of time. Never
wash machine components in the dishwasher. Do not use direct jets of water.
Warning!
All operations must be performed when the machine is cold.
cleaning the filter containing the grounds
Check that the holes are not clogged and if so, clean them with a small brush (Fig. 14). Dispense boiling water from the filter
holder with the filter inside, without coffee grounds, after placing a glass underneath the dispenser in order to dissolve or
remove any coffee residue or impurities.
Warning!
Slowly remove and disconnect the filter holder because any remaining pressure could cause splashes or squirts.
It is advisable to thoroughly clean the filter (A) about every 3 months using Ariete COFFEE CLEAN detergent tabs, which
can be found at retail stores and the Authorised Service Centres, following the instructions inside the package. As an
alternative, you:
• Put a dishwasher detergent tab into the filter (without coffee) when the machine is hot (after heating for at least five minu-
tes).
• Couple the filter holder to the machine and put a container underneath the filter holder.
• Press and hold the steam dispensing button (K). Wait until water flows out of the filter holder seat (Fig. 5). Dispense water
for 15-20 seconds.
• Release the steam dispensing button to stop the flow of water. Let the tablet work for at least 15 minutes, keeping the filter
holder inserted on the machine.
• Repeat the water dispensing operation by operating the pump for about 15-20 seconds, and then letting it rest for another
15-20 seconds, until two tanks of water are used up.
• Remove the filter holder from the machine, remove the filter and rinse it well under running tap water.
• Turn off the machine, disconnect the power cable from the socket-outlet and clean the coupling seat of the filter holder
with a sponge in order to remove any detergent residue from the shower disc.
• Turn the machine back on, couple the filter holder once again and dispense at least 2 cups of water again to complete the
rinsing.
If the coffee machine is used daily, it is advisable to carry out the cleaning operation at least every three months.
cleaning the pods filter
Put the pods dripper (F) and pod filter (E) inside the filter holder (D). With the filter holder hooked, without the pod inserted,
start the dispensing by pressing the switch (L) after placing a glass under the filter holder. In this way any coffee residue or
impurities present in the filter holder will dissolve and be removed.
cleaning the silicone disc
Wash the silicone disc (B) under running water, bending it slightly on the sides in order to free the centre hole of any residue
