water through the brewhead.
• Re-insert the the blind lter and run
the automatic cleaning cycle once more,
this time removing the lter during the
pauses, dumpling water from the lter and
re-inserting the lter before the cycle re-
engages the ow of water. (If water begins
to ow before you have a chance to insert
the lter, wait until the cycle pauses again
to avoid the risk of being splashed and
burned by hot water)

resuming normal service to “season” the

more than 8 hours or, in any case, after
long periods of being idle, in order to
use the machine to its full potential it
is necessary to perform some cleaning
cycles before brewing beverages as
follows:
- Groups: with the portalters engaged in
the groups brew water through each for
at least two minutes
If the machine is not going to be used for
long periods of time, it is advisable to
follow these safety indications:
- Disconnect the machine from the water
mains or interrupt the water connection
via a mains tap.
- Disconnect the machine from the
electrical mains.
