8. CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Important!
•
Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean
the coffee machine.
•
Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee
deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.
•
Should the machine remain idle for more than a week, it
is advisable to carry out a rinse cycle before preparing any
beverages.
Danger!
•
Never immerse the coffee maker in water when cleaning: it
is an electrical appliance.
•
Before commencing any cleaning operation on the outside
of the machine, turn it off, unplug it from the mains socket
and wait for it to cool down.
