SLAYER STEAM LP USER MANUAL V1.1 | JUNE 2019 39
CLEAN THE MACHINE EXTERIOR
Use a soft, clean towel to wipe the surfaces of the machine. Do not use
abrasive cleaners. Small amounts of window cleaner may be used on glass
and metal components.
CLEAN THE STEAM WANDS
Immediately after steaming milk, clean the exterior of the steam wand by
wiping it thoroughly with a damp towel, then clear the interior by briefly
moving the steam actuator up to the “purge” position.
If clogging occurs, soak the steam wand in hot water for several minutes,
then purge while submerged. For tough clogs, use toothpick to unplug
the holes in the tip and use an approved espresso machine steam wand
cleaning solution.
GENERAL GROUP HEAD CARE
Regular cleaning and backflushing optimizes machine performance and
espresso flavor by preventing the buildup of coee oils. Complete the
following steps for each grouphead as part of every backflush cycle or as
needed, at least once daily.
REQUIRED TOOLS
• Cleaning brush
• Flat-head screwdriver
RECOMMENDED SUPPLIES
• Soft, clean towel
PROCEDURE
1. Remove portafilter from group head, then use a cleaning brush to
scrub the portafilter gasket, loosening oil and coee grounds.
2. Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the dispersion screw and
shower screen, then rinse with clean water.
Ensure that the dispersion screw holes remain clear of coee
grounds, as they may otherwise damage internal parts of the
group head.
3. Use a damp towel to wipe oil and grounds from the face and sides of
the dispersion block, as well as the portafilter body.
4. Return the clean dispersion screw and shower screen to the group
head.
Failure to reinstall the dispersion screw and shower screen before
next use may cause the group head to clog. Do not attempt to
brew espresso or backflush the group head before the dispersion
screw and shower screen have been correctly installed.
5. Rinse the portafilter with hot water, then insert the portafilter basket
and lock it in the group head.
