2.3 – Maintenance of the cappuccino maker
For the cappuccino maker to work properly, the following are needed:
a – right pressure in the steam boiler
b – careful cleaning and maintenance of the cappuccino maker
The right pressure for proper operation should be within the range between
0.8 and 1.4 Bar.
Higher or lower pressure could lead to a fault on the cappuccino maker.
Maintenance of the cappuccino maker requires keeping the inside holes
clean.
Therefore when you expect the machine to stay some time without being
used, it is good practice, after delivering a cappuccino, to wash the
cappuccino maker, sucking up water from the tank or from an outside
container.
For more accurate cleaning from time to time, take the
cappuccino maker out of its seat (see fig.9) and clean the
holes, using a tip with a smaller diameter than the holes
themselves.

Once you have carried out this operation, when
reassembling the machine, make sure that the cappuccino
maker is fitted well in place at the end of its stroke.
In case of any persistent fault, also make sure that the pressure is high enough, or not too
high, in the steam boiler.
