How to Clean your Fully Automatic Home Espresso Machine (with pre-ground coffee chute) Using Cafiza® Home Tablets Clean When signaled by your machine (or when a cleaning cycle is manually activated according to machine instructions), drop a cleaning tablet into pre-ground coffee chute and place an empty cup under the coffee spout. Press the key (which corresponds to brewing your type of machine) and begin a typical brew cycle. Repeat brew cycle a minimum of 3 additional times (without adding more tablets to the machine), to make sure that you allow the solution to take effect in your machine. Once cycle ends remove coffee unit (if possible) and rinse carefully with fresh water. If coffee unit can not be removed, follow machine manufacturer rinse procedures. *Make sure all coffee grounds are removed from tray and are clean before putting it back into machine. *Before using appliance again, make two additional cups of coffee by pressing the button that corresponds to brewing, without adding any coffee beans and then throw them away (to make sure solution is properly rinsed). *Note: You can also clean the drip tray by placing a Cafiza® Home tablet inside and fill it with water.
