This article covers maintenance and cleaning of the AUTOMATISCHE KOFFIEMACHINE by Boretti.
External parts
The external parts of the machine must be cleaned with a soft cloth and without the use of aggressive detergents. Do not clean steel parts of scouring pads or abrasive sponges. Dry well with a soft cloth Steam nozzle In addition, periodically clean the steam nozzle, which can get dirty inside when you warm milk for cappuccino. To do this, just disassemble it as shown in the figure and wash it together with its hood with a sponge and hot water.
⚠ ATTENTION: when cleaning the nozzle, always turn off the machine and remember to wait at least 20 minutes before using it to allow it to cool, avoiding possible burns. Drip basin Remove the drip basin from the machine as shown in the following figures. Make sure to periodically empty the basin to avoid liquid spills that could dirty and ruin the furniture below. The basin and relative metal grill can be washed in the dishwasher. Emptying used coffee grounds To open the door of the compartment with the tray, you must first remove the drip basin as described in Figures 17.4, 17.5 and 17.6. Remove the tray, empty the coffee grounds and wash it with hot water or in the dishwasher. Put the "used" coffee ground tray back in its compartment. ATTENTION: avoid emptying the grounds collection tray with the machine on to avoid accidental contact with hot parts. Water tank If the machine has not been used in a long time, we recommend changing the water in the tank Periodically clean the water tank of any lime encrustations. The tank can be washed in the dishwasher. If using the Brita decalcifying filter, we recommend replacing the filter every 2000 espresso coffees or at least every six months. 17. TROUBLESHOOTING The operator should make sure that the problem is not caused by: No electricity No water in the tank No coffee in the machine Incorrect closure of the access door to the coffee ground tray. For any other causes, have the machine checked by a service centre.
