Steam Wands
After steaming milk, clean the exterior of the steam wand by wiping it
thoroughly with a damp towel, then clear its interior by briefly allowing steam
to flow.
If the steam wand tips clog, soak in hot water for several minutes, then
briefly engage steam with wand submerged. For tough clogs, use an
approved espresso machine steam wand cleaner.

The dispersion screen may become bent or damaged and should be replaced
periodically. Ideally, the mesh screen will sit firmly against the metal backing. If
a gap forms, replace the dispersion screen.
Parts and tools:
•
Replacement shower screen (part #46000-50070)
•
Flat-head screwdriver
Procedure:
1. Complete steps 1-3 of “General Group Cleaning” under “Grouphead”.
2. Discard old dispersion screen.
3. Install new screen and secure with the screw from step 1, taking care
not to over-tighten. Tighten the screw with your fingers until it is
secure, then rotate an additional 90 degrees (1/4 turn) with the
screwdriver.
‣
CAUTION: failure to reinstall the dispersion screw and screen
before next use may cause the grouphead to clog with coffee
particles. Do not attempt to brew espresso before the dispersion
screw and screen have been correctly installed.
