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 (O) 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 can use a simple dishwasher detergent tab (without added rinse aid or
other chemical additives) as follows:
• Put a dishwasher detergent tab into the filter (without coffee) when the machine is hot (after heating for at
least five minutes).
• Couple the filter holder to the machine and put a container underneath the filter holder.
• Push the control lever (B) forward to start water supply, and dispense water for 15-20 seconds.
• Stop the water supply and let the tab act for at least 15 minutes while keeping the filter holder coupled 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 silicone disc
Wash the silicone disc (P) under running water, bending it slightly on the sides in order to free the centre hole
of any residue of coffee grounds that could clog it (Fig. 24).
Cleaning the filter holder seat
With time, coffee residue may accumulate on the filter holder seat. It can be removed with a toothpick, a
sponge (Fig. 24), or by letting water run through without fitting the filter holder (Fig. 9).
Cleaning the Maxi Cappuccino device
Warning
Perform this operation when the chrome-plated pipe is cold so as to prevent burns.
Unscrew the device (J) from the small pipe and wash it with running water. The small pipe can be cleaned with
a non-abrasive 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 grill and drip tray
Remember to empty the drip tray from time to time (N).
Remove the grill (M) and wash it under running water. Remove the drip tray (N) from the machine, empty it
and wash it under running water.
Cleaning the machine body
Warning
Clean the fixed parts of the machine using only a damp, non-abrasive cloth so as to not damage the
body.
