DAILY MAINTENANCE
Daily cleaning and maintenance procedures are essenal for maintaining opmum performance of your es-
presso machine. The following are procedures to be carried out on a daily basis:
Backushing:
This process forces water through the inlet tube and drain system. This should be performed on EACH brew
group daily.
1. Replace the lter basket with the ‘blind’ basket, which has no lter holes.
2. Engage the portalter, then follow the instrucons on page 21 to use the auto backush funcon.
3. When using an approved espresso industry detergent during backushing, follow the manufacturer’s in-
strucons. It is extremely important to thoroughly rinse the blind lter basket and repeat backushing sever-
al mes with clean water to clear the system of any detergent residue. Failure to rinse aer using detergent
can cause valve problems and bad avor.
Note: NEVER remove the diuser screen and screw when backushing. Backushing without the screen can
cause detergent and other unwanted parcles to enter the brew system and can lead to valve and ow prob-
lems. Remove and clean the screen and screw aer backushing is complete. Do not forget to reinstall.
General Machine Cleaning:
1. Clean the surface of the machine using a so damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or cleansing pads.
Take extra care on the mirror nish stainless steel surfaces. A “micro-ber” towel is recommended to avoid
scratches.
2. Make sure the steam wands and ps are free of milk build-up. It is always best to clean the steam wand
and p aer each use by purging and wiping with a damp cloth. Approved espresso industry cleaners can be
used to dissolve milk build-up. Tips can be removed to soak. Deep cleaning of the wands and ps should be
carried out periodically.
3. The drip tray, drip tray grates, and portalters should be removed and cleaned every day. If you clean the
portalters in the dishwasher, rst remove the lter baskets and springs before washing. Do not place wood-
en handled portalters in the dishwasher. Wood should be cleaned using wood-safe cleaning procedures.
Wood and Water
Wood accents should be wiped down with a damp rag to clean. Do not soak or soap wood.
Never place wood products in the dishwasher! Treat wood with food safe oil or wax quar-
terly or more oen if the surface appears dry.
