FLUSHING THE FILTER BASKET AND PORTAFILTER
NOTE
You may clean the filter baskets in an automatic dishwasher. However, we advice
against doing this! The portafilter may NOT be cleaned in an automatic dish-
washer.
Via hot water, you should rinse the filter basket and portafilter immediately after each
use. Otherwise, residues of coffee powder and oils may clog the mesh or the small
outlet hole of the filter basket.
Thorough cleaning of the filter baskets should be performed regularly (every 2-3
months; see below).
1. Completely empty the filter basket after the extraction. Rinse the filter basket
under running tap water, thoroughly removing the residues of coffee powder.
2. Lock the portafilter with filter basket but without coffee powder at the group
head.
3. Press the 2 cups button and leave the appliance operate.
WARNING – The portafilter and filter basket are hot, after operation and
hot water may be left within the filter basket.
4. When the extraction cycle is finished, carefully remove the portafilter and pour
out any residues of water, that may be left within the filter basket. Then, wipe
dry to avoid deposits of lime in the filter mesh.
THOROUGH CLEANING OF THE PORTAFILTER AND FILTER BASKET
We recommend to perform thorough cleaning of the filter baskets regularly (every
2-3 months) using a cleaning tablet. It is crucial to use original cleaning tablets to
avoid damage. Contact your vendor.
IMPORTANT - We are not liable, when unsuitable clearing agents and/or incor-
rect cleaning methods have been used.
CAUTION – For usage, the filter basket is engaged within the portafilter via
a bulge at the side wall of the filter basket. Do not use violence! At the rim of the
portafilter, there are 3 notches. If required, insert a medium screw driver or the
handle of a teaspoon into a notch and CAREFULLY lever out the filter basket. Avo-
id bending or scratching the rim of the filter basket.
WARNING – After the cleaning cycle the portafilter and filter baskets are
very hot and hot water may be left within the filter basket. Cool down the metal
parts via some cold water, before touching the metal parts with your hands.
1. Mount the filter basket in the portafilter and place a cleaning tablet into the filter
basket (without coffee powder). Then attach the portafilter to the group head.
2. Press the 2 cups button for starting an extraction cycle. Thereafter, wait at least
15 minutes.
3. Repeatedly press the 2 cups button for additional 5 extraction cycles with a pau-
se of 1 minute between the extraction cycles.
4. Remove the portafilter from the group head and pour out remaining hot water.
Cool the portafilter with cold water.
5. Remove the filter basket from the portafilter. If required, you may insert a medium
screw driver or the handle of a teaspoon into a notch at the rim of the portafilter
for levering the filter basket up and out of the portafilter.
6. If some pores of the filter mesh within the filter basket are clogged, you may use
the fine needle of the cleaning tool for opening the pores.
7. Rinse the filter basket and portafilter thoroughly under running tap water. There-
after wipe dry to avoid deposits of lime on the parts.
8. Clean the shower screen and the sealing ring at the bottom of the group head.
This will remove residues of the cleaning tablet from the group head (see below:
‘Cleaning the Group Head’).
