Other Useful Information
Cleaning and care
WARNING!
• Before cleaning the espresso machine or removing parts, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, never immerse the appliance in water or
other liquid.
• Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions. Do not use alcohol or
solvent-based cleaning solutions.
After use
• When you have finished using your espresso machine for the day, press the
POWER button to switch it off.
• Unplug the machine from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely
before cleaning.
• CAUTION: The espresso machine generates hot water and steam under
pressure. To avoid burns on fingers or hands, always make sure the unit is
unplugged and all control panel lights and buttons are OFF before cleaning.
Portafilter and filter baskets
• IMPORTANT: Empty and rinse the portafilter and filter basket(s) thoroughly with
warm water after every use to remove residual coffee oils. But NEVER touch
the portafilter immediately after brewing or steaming; always allow all parts to
cool thoroughly before touching.
• When the machine has cooled, hold the portafilter by the handle and slowly
turn it clockwise (to the left) until the handle faces the UNLOCKED position.
The portafilter will drop down and out of the unit.
• IMPORTANT: Handle the portafilter with extreme care as it is heavy.
• Remove the filter basket (see Fig. 14 on page 21 for more information on how
to do this more easily) and discard the espresso puck.
• Rinse and wipe the portafilter, spout and filter basket(s). If necessary, clean
the filter basket(s) with a kitchen brush or soak in fresh, clean water for
20 minutes. Alternatively, use the supplied cleaning pin to help you clear
blockages from the holes in the base of the filter baskets. Use the smaller end
of the pin to clear blockages in the filter basket.
• Dry the parts thoroughly. Do not store the portafilter in the group head. This
can adversely affect the seal between the group head and the portafilter while
extracting coffee.
