Use
Grinding adjustment knob (6) (Fig. D) The appliance is equipped with a knob (6) that allows you to adjust the grinding grain of the coffee according to its uses: Turning the knob (6) clockwise "A" increases the grinding grain; turning the knob (6) anticlockwise "B" decreases the grinding grain and the ground coffee will be finer (Fig.D). Turn the knob (6) and match the indicator (26) with the desired grinding level.
The grinding grain adjustment must be carried out when the grinder is in operation or on first use when the bean container is completely empty; turning the knob (6) with the grinder stopped and the beans inside could damage the grinding unit.

EN
Cleaning and maintenance
Allow the machine to cool down before cleaning.
Use the supplied brush to clean the empty coffee bean container (3), removing any beans or residue. Always clean when the machine is off.
General cleaning To ensure good machine operations, in additional to excellent quality drinks, we recommend a few simple daily cleaning operations such as cleaning the drip tray (13, 14) and grounds container (12). We also recommend you routinely clean some specific machine components such as the brewing group (15) or water tank (5). Please see the specific paragraphs for cleaning instructions.
Cleaning the external drip tray (14) The drip tray (14) is equipped with a red float (27) which protrudes from the cup-holder grid as soon as the maximum liquid level is exceeded. · Remove the tray (14) and the cup-holder
grid (28) and empty it. · Clean the tray (14) and the grid (28) in
running water with neutral dish detergent. · Dry the components and reassemble them
in the machine. Do not clean components, especially the cup holder grid, in the dishwasher.
We recommend you clean the external drip tray daily.
Cleaning the coffee grounds container (12) and internal tray (13)
Always empty the coffee grounds container with the appliance switched on. This is the only way of resetting the coffee grounds counter. The counter resets at least 15 seconds after opening the various components and LED 23 flashes.
· Remove the tray (14). · Remove the grounds container (12) with its
tray (13) by pulling it outwards. · Empty the coffee grounds from the container
(12). · Clean the container (12) and the tray (13)
in running water with neutral dish detergent. · Thoroughly dry components and reassemble
on the machine. When emptying the grounds container, be sure to also empty any water residue from the internal tank.
Daily cleaning of the coffee grounds container and internal tray is recommended. It is normal to find water residue in the internal tank. Clean and dry.
Cleaning the water tank (5) · Remove the lid (4) and remove the tank (5)
from the machine using the appropriate handle. · Clean the tank (5) in running water with neutral dish detergent and reassemble it in the machine.

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning the brewing group (15)
We recommend cleaning the brewing group at least once a week.
· The coffee machine indicates when brewing group cleaning is recommended (steady lit LED 24).
· With the machine on, press the lower part of the door (8) until it is released and slide it out from the top.
· Press the two release clips (29) located on the sides of the infuser (15) and remove it from the machine (Fig.L).
· Wash the brewing group (15) with running water and dry it.
· Also thoroughly clean its housing and relevant compartment and dry them before reassembling the various components.
· Refit the service door (8) making sure it is correctly positioned.
Open the door and clean the brewing unit while the machine is on. This is the only way of resetting the counter. The counter resets at least 10 seconds after opening the various components and LED 24 turns off.
We recommend running a manual circuit cleaning cycle whenever this operation is performed. Please see paragraph "Manual rinse" for this reason.
Do not wash the brewing group in the dishwasher in order not to damage it permanently.
Coffee powder residue can be found in the brewing group compartment. We recommend thorough cleaning whenever cleaning the brewing group. Use the supplied brush to remove any residue from the brewing group compartment.

Cleaning and maintenance
Descaling The coffee machine signals when it is necessary to carry out a descaling cycle based on the set water hardness (For the setting of the water hardness, see the "Setting the water hardness" paragraph).
If the LED (25) lights up steadily, it means that a descaling cycle is necessary, so as not to alter the taste of the coffee and damage the machine. However, coffee and further drinks may continue to be dispensed for a limited number of cycles.
If the LED (25) flashes, it means that a
descaling cycle is mandatory to proceed with
further dispensing of drinks.
To carry out a descaling cycle, proceed as
follows:
· Place a container with a capacity of at least
1.4l under the dispenser (11).
· Make sure that the White program with
white illuminated keys is selected.
· Fill the tank (5), up to the "MAX" level, with a
solution of water and descaler in the doses
recommended by the manufacturer.
· With the machine ready for use, press
the keys (20)
and (18)
simultaneously for at least 3 seconds. The
key (18)
flashes with an orange light
and the LED (25) has a fixed light for
the entire duration of the descaling cycle.
· Stay near the machine for the entire duration
of the descaling cycle since you may be
required, for example, to fill the tank (5). The entire cycle lasts approximately 30 minutes. · During the descaling cycle, the machine will take a few breaks to allow the descaler to act effectively. Wait for the end of the cycle. · The descaling cycle ends when there is no more solution in the tank (5), the key (18)
turns white and the LEDS (21) and (25) remain lit. · Pour clean water into the tank (5) up to the "MAX" level to carry out the rinse cycle,
then press the button (18)
to start the
rinse cycle, the button (18)
flashes
and the LED (25) lights up steadily for the entire duration of the washing cycle. · The rinse cycle ends when the keys light up white.
If, at the end of the descaling
process, the LED (25) remains permanently lit, it indicates that a new descaling cycle must be carried out since the quantity of descaling solution that was used was insufficient for complete cleaning.
Personal injury hazard. · The descaler contains acids that
can irritate the skin and eyes. · Follow the manufacturer's
instructions and safety warnings on the packet scrupulously in the event of contact with skin or eyes. · Use descaler products recommended by Smeg to prevent damage to the coffee machine.
EN - 11
Cleaning and maintenance
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
"Empty system" procedure The `Empty system' procedure is recommended before long periods of non-use and before consulting a maintenance manager. · Activate the procedure by holding down
the key (16)
and the key (19)
simultaneously for three seconds, the key
(17)
and the key (19)
flash
simultaneously.
· The entire quantity of water in the tank is
drained through the coffee circuit.
· The pump continues to operate, even
intermittently, to also empty the internal
water circuits.
· At the end of the procedure the machine
switches off.
The empty system procedure takes several minutes and on-off cycles. Do not turn off the machine until the complete procedure is complete.
