For perfect cleaning and efficiency of the appliance, several simple cleaning operations are necessary on the functional parts and accessories
as well as the body panels.
The indications given here are applicable for normal use of the coffee machine. If the machine is heavily used then cleaning should be per-
The filters and the relative filter-holders must be cleaned daily in hot water. The best thing to do is to
let them soak in hot water overnight so that the fatty coffee deposits can dissolve.
It is advisable to add an envelope or tablet of special detergent to the water, and then to rinse
everything off with water.
Failure to clean the filters and filter holders daily will compromise the quality of the coffee and will
also cause problems such as bad extraction and coffee grounds at the bottom of the cup.
Perforated disk and containment ring
should be cleaned weekly in hot water. To
and remove the two elements from the dispensing unit.
The steam pipes must be kept clean at all times. Check the ends of the steam nozzles and clean
them monthly, clearing out the exit holes with a small needle.
Delivery groups (except for AL - SMMA version)
The cleaning of the internal parts of the delivery groups is to be performed weekly in the following manner:
• replace the normal filter of the filter-holder with a solid one;
• pour a teaspoon of a suitable detergent powder on the solid filter, and attach the filter-holder to the group;
• use the delivery switch to set the group in operation;
• repeat the above operations until the water comes out clean;
• turn off and remove the filter-holder from the group;
• rinse a final time, so as to remove any residual detergent.
The cup heating device is for heating cups before they are used.
• Place the cups on the upper surface
• Start the electric heating element with the switch
panel (e.g. SIBILLA - GLORIA).
For safety reasons we advise against putting cloths or other objects
on the upper surface of the machine as they could obstruct normal air

The body panels should be cleaned with a cloth soaked in warm water. Do not use abrasive detergents since the panels could get scratched.
