Cleaning the gasket and shower plate
While making espresso, coffee grounds will naturally accumalate on the group’s sealing surface.
Allowing an excessive amount of grounds to build up can prevent the the porta-filter from properly
sealing to the group head. In extreme cases, such as leaving a used porta-filter in the group head for
several days, water can even become blocked from passing through the shower plate.
To prevent these problems, perform the following cleaning procedures daily:
Install the blind basket into the porta-filter without cleaning powder.
Place the porta-filter loosely in the group head - do not close it fully.
Press the Continuous button .
Perform an opening-closing motion with the porta-filter in place without closing it fully. Water will
flow over and around the porta-filter, passinging through the closing surface and washing out any
coffee residue. Be very careful to avoid splashes, as this water is very hot and can cause burns.
Press the Continuous button .again to stop the water flow.
Remove the porta-filter from the group head.
Clean the shower plate and group gasket with a soft brush to remove any coffee residue.

WARNING!
Take special care to avoid scalding when
performing this cleaning operation, as the hot
water used to clean the gasket will spill over
the sides of the porta-filter.
WARNING!
Do not fully tighten the porta-filter. If fully
tightened, high-pressure water may spray out
and cause scalding or serious injury.
