MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
It is important that the espresso machine is regularly cleaned. It will ensure
a high quality of the coffee brewed. We recommend that the machine is
cleaned after each brewing. Procedure:
Rinse the brew head unit. ●
Rinse the steam wand with steam ● (C).
Wipe the steam wand ● (C) clean with a damp cloth immediately after the
espresso machine has been used.
T ake out the lter ● (H) from the handle (E) and wash it, clean the holes
of the lter (H) .
and wash it, clean the holes of the lter ● (I).
Important: Never wash parts and accessories of the espresso machine in
a dishwasher .
Cleaning the drip tray (I) and the grid (J)
T ake out the grid (J) and the drip tray (I) (23) . W ash with water with the
addition of some mild washing-up liquid, rinse and dry .
W arning: Ensure that after taking out and replacing the drip tray (I) and
the grid (J) the insert is in the right place.
Cleaning the brew head unit, the lter holder and (E) and the lter (H)
Rinse the lter (H) and the lter holder (E) with warm water after each use
and dry .
T o clean the brew head unit from used cof fee, rinse it with water, wipe the
head and the internal ring with a damp cloth. If the holes of the lter are
blocked with coffee, use a delicate brush.
Rubber seal of the brew head
The seal of the brew head is at the bottom of the brew head unit and it
seals the lter holder (E) coffee is poured.
W arning: It is recommended that the lter holder (E) is not left in the brew
head unit during long breaks in the use of the espresso machine, as it may
reduce the durability of the seal.
It is natural that a seal loses its elasticity and needs replacing. A lack of
tightness between the lter holder (E) and the brew head (steam is visible
around the brew head unit when pouring espresso) is an indication that the
seal is worn out.
W arning: Contact the nearest authorised service center if you think
that the seal of the brew head unit needs replacing.
Outer elements
Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth and dry it. Do not use any brushes
or abrasive cleaning agents as they may scratch outer surfaces.
Cleaning the steam wand (C)
Keeping the steam wand (C) clean is essential to ensure the maximum
performance of the steam function. Deposits of e.g. dried milk on the wand
(C) will decrease its steaming and frothing capacity .
Important: Wipe the wand (C) clean with a damp cloth and rinse with
a little steam after each use.
Should milk have dried on the steam wand (C) , wrap the wand (C) with
a clean damp cloth, place the wand (C) above the drip tray (I) and turn
on steam for about 10 seconds. Next, leave the cloth on the wand (C) for
about 5 minutes until it soaks. If there still is dirt on the wand, repeat the
procedure.
Important: Never clean the steam wand (C) with an abrasive scourer as it
may damage the wand.
DESCALING
Scale is a mineral build-up which naturally occurs on all appliances
connected with heating water . Therefore the espresso machine will require
descaling on a regular basis.
W arning: Descale your coffee maker at least every 3 months. The
damages which are caused by failure to descale the appliance are not
subject to warranty repairs.
Descaling solutions
T raditionally , the following agents are used for removal of scale from coffee
makers:
Citric acid solution ●
Dissolve 2 spoonful (ca. 30 g) of citric acid in 1 l of water .
Specially designated liquids or tablets. ●
Notice: For liquids and tablets, follow the instructions shown on the
packaging of these products.
