TEFAL Espremio EX6200 Mode D'emploi page 19

The accessories and removable parts of the appliance are not dishwasher proof.
Before cleaning, ensure the selector dial Control is in the "OFF" position. Switch off at the power outlet, then un-
plug the power cord and the unit to cool. Do not use abrasive agents or cloths which can scratch the surfaces.
A. The Appliance
• Clean the outside of the appliance from time to time with a damp cloth or sponge. Wash the tank, the drip
tray and its grill regularly and dry them.
• Rinse the inside of the tank regularly.
• When a fine white film obscures the tank, carry out a descaling operation.
• (see section 9. DESCALING).
• Do not use alcohol or solvent based cleaning products.
• Once the appliance has been unplugged, clean the hot water grill and the seal regularly, using a damp sponge
(fig. 16).
B. The filter holder
The espresso machine is equipped with a removable filter ejecting holder, which we recommend that you clean
after each use. After each use, remove the used coffee grounds.
These removal/fitting operations must be carried out when the machine has cooled down.
1. Removal of the filter holder:
• Remove the filter holder from your machine.
• Dispose of the used coffee or pod by pressing the eject button
• Rinse under running water.
• Hold the bottom of the filter holder between your thumb and index finger.
• Place pressure on it with the thumb and index finger at the same time, then pull it downwards
2. Cleaning and rinsing the filter holder:
The filter holder may then be cleaned using a household detergent and a normal dishwashing brush, but must
be rinsed afterwards with running water. For best results, you may press down the eject button several times
while rinsing.
We recommend shaking the filter holder vigorously in order to release any water that may have collected inside.
3. Fitting the filter holder:
First inset the bottom of the filter holder into the slot provided for this purpose, then push it in until you hear a
"click" which ensures that it is locked into place
C. The drip tray
The drip tray should be removed, emptied and cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the level gauge ap-
pears indicating the drip tray is full. The drip tray must be emptied after first removing the grill
The presence of water is normal and is not the sign of a leak. If required, clean the drip tray and its grill with
water and a little non abrasive detergent before rinsing and drying.
D. Steam Wand
• After frothing milk the steam wand should be cleaned with a damp sponge.
• Briefly set the selector control to the "Steam" position to clear any remaining milk from the steam wand,
• If the steam wand becomes blocked, wait for the machine to cool before using a needle or paper clip to un-
block the opening.
9. DESCALING
• After regular use, hard water can cease limestone build up in and on many of the components, reducing the
brewing flow, power of the machine, and affecting the quality of coffee. It is recommended that you decal-
cify your machine on a regular basis using a liquid decalcifying agent. To make this clearer, please find below
a summary table of the frequencies of the descaling operations according to the hardness of water and use:
