Care and Cleaning
The coffee making process involves extracting
oils out of coffee grinds to make espresso
coffee. Deposits of these oils build up over time
and affect the taste of the coffee and operation
of the espresso machine.
Regular cleaning to remove these oils is
essential for espresso machines to keep
operating effectively. Flushing water, through
the brewing head and the steam wand/arm, is
the easiest way to keep your machine clean
after making each coffee, and at the end of
your coffee making session.
Important: Never wash your espresso machine
accessories in the dishwasher.
Drip tray
Remove the grid and drip tray at regular
intervals to empty (28), (29). If the red floating
level indicator appears through the grid, empty
the drip tray immediately.
Clean the drip tray and its grid with water and a
little non-abrasive washing up liquid, rinse and
dry.
The brewing head, filters & filter handle
The filter and filter handle should be washed
after each use by rinsing them under warm
water. Wash at regular intervals in warm soapy
water using a mild detergent.
To clean the brewing head, flush water through
and wipe the head and around the inside rim
with a damp cloth.
To assist in keeping the filter and the brew
head clean, at the end of each coffee making
session we recommend you run the machine,
with the filter in place, without coffee – using
water only.
Should the holes in the filters become clogged
with coffee granules use a fine bristled brush to
remove them.
Important: Should the filter remain blocked
after normal cleaning, supplied with your
espresso machine is a cleaning wire. The
cleaning wire for the filter is the GREY pin
located on the underside of the water reservoir
lid (26). With the cleaning wire insert it into
the single hole in the base of the filter (27).
