Elektra Verve maintenance: what the manual says

“At least weekly, it is necessary clean the dispensing groups from coffee leftovers with an internal cleaning through a semi-automatic procedure guided by the machine .”

“2) Immerse the filters and filterholders in the solution prepared and allow them to soak for about 20/30 minutes (do not fully immerse filterholders with wood handles: the water and detergent solution would damage the handles).”

“At least once a week remove the lower cup grille, remove the lower drip tray and clean it, removing any dregs with the aid of a teaspoon, and then rinse it .”

“Each evening or at least once a day, clean the group shower and the filterholder gaskets with a cloth or a sponge.”

“Any repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment should only be carried out at the factory or by an authorized service center using only original spare parts.”

“Externally clean with a moist sponge, the steam nozzle immediately after every milk preparation cycle.”

“Operate the steam valve using the joy-stick until the water boils, obtaining a complete disinfection of the wand.”

“After dispensing 2000 coffees, the red warning light starts flashing slowly to signal that the water softener has run out; however, the machine continues to operate.”
