Cleaning and
maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance keep the
machine in perfect conditions and ensure perfect
coffee avour, a constant coffee ow and excellent
milk froth for a long period of time.
Cleaning the steam wand
After each milk frothing:
1. Clean the steam wand with a damp cloth. To
clean it more thoroughly, you can unscrew the
nozzle (Fig.13) and wash it with running water.
2. Open the steam knob, allowing the steam to
escape for one or two seconds to clear the
nozzle hole (Fig.1-23).
Cleaning the lter holder and the
lters
The filters should be kept clean to guarantee
perfect results.
Warning! The filter must only be replaced
when the lter holder cup has cooled down
completely to avoid burns.
Every day, remove the lter from the lter holder as
described in (Fig.14) and wash it with warm water.
If you notice a malfunction
when brewing coffee, immerse
the lters in boiling water for 10
minutes and then rinse them
with running water.
To clean the filters more
thoroughly, we recommend
using the GAGGIA cleaning
tablets specifically designed
to keep your machine in perfect
working order.
Cleaning the grill and drip tray
Remove the drip tray and the grill (Fig.1-10,11)
and wash them with water. Do not use abrasive
cleaning tools.
Cleaning the water tank
Warning! To avoid burns, the tank should
be cleaned only when the machine is turned
off. The drain hose (Fig. 11) may reach high
temperatures during operation.
Remove the water tank (Fig.1-13) and wash it with
fresh water.
To remove the water tank, rst remove the drip tray
(Fig 1-11), and then remove the drain pipe (Fig.11)
by pulling it downwards.
Note. When reinserting the tank, make sure that
the silicone tubes are inside the tank and that they
are neither twisted nor blocked (Fig.12).
Cleaning the screen
Regularly remove any residual coffee grounds from
the screen (Fig.16) using a brush and wash with hot
water following the instructions given in the section
"How to lower the temperature".
Cleaning after a long period of
inactivity
When the machine is not used for a long time (more
than two weeks), follow the instructions given in
the section "When using for the rst time or after
a period of inactivity of more than 2 weeks".
Descaling
Limescale normally builds up
with the use of the appliance.
Use the GAGGIA descaling
product only. Its formula has
been designed to ensure
better machine performance
and operation for its whole
operating life. If correctly used,
it also avoids alterations in the
brewed product. Never use
vinegar or other descaling
agents.
Descaling should be performed
every 2 months.
