PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE &
CLEANING
Keeping your machine clean will prolong its life and produce much better
espresso beverages.
STEAM NOZZLES
1.
Clean the steam nozzle after every use by wiping with a damp
cloth. Turn the steam wand on to release condensation and milk
residue.
2.
If the steam jets get blocked with dry milk use a paper clip to
unclog them.
BACKFLUSHING
1.
Remove the filter basket from the portafilter and fit the back flush
cap.
2.
While the brew water is flowing loosely insert the portafilter into
the group head, rotating the portafilter back and forth. Keep
emptying the blind basket of hot water and old grounds until the
water runs clear.
3.
You should backflush the group head every day.
GROUP BREW HEAD
1.
Every week, after backflushing, add a small amount of espresso
cleaning detergent to the blind basket. Dissolve the detergent
in hot water and insert the portafilter into the group head. Use a
solution readily available at your local store.
2.
Turn the group paddle on and off again after about 10 seconds.
Repeat this several times.
3.
Empty the basket of the detergent and backflush using water
only as above until the group is thoroughly cleansed of detergent
residue.
