Cleaning the steam wand when clogged
When any hole at the end of the steam wand is clogged, follow the steps below to unclog it.
1 Turn off the coffee machine.
2 Use the thick end of the cleaning pin to clear residue from the hole on the end of the steam
wand (Fig. 34).
Cleaning the grinder and ground coffee outlet
Clean the grinder and ground coffee outlet every two weeks to prevent ground coffee from
clogging the outlet or affecting grinding. Ensure the bean hopper is empty before starting
cleaning. Ensure that the grinder can rotate normally and no ground coffee comes out of the
ground coffee outlet when the grinding function is activated.
1 Check and ensure that the bean hopper is empty.
2 Rotate the bean hopper counterclockwise to remove it from the coffee machine (Fig. 35).
3 Remove the top grinding wheel (Fig. 36) and clean the built-in grinding wheel with the cleaning
brush (Fig. 37). Clean the grinding chamber and ground coffee chute with the grinder cleaning
brush (Fig. 38).
4 Place back the internal grinding wheel (Fig. 39) and bean hopper (Fig. 4).
5 Start the grinding function with the inserted portafilter. Allowing the machine to run without
coffee beans to clear any remaining powder residue from the grinding chamber. Cleaning is
complete.
Do not rinse the built-in grinder with water.
If there is still powder residue, repeat step 5.
Before starting cleaning, ensure that the bean hopper is empty, as coffee beans can damage the
internal structure of the bean hopper when you remove it.
