The espresso making process involves 

extracting oils out of coffee grinds. 

Deposits of grinds and oils build up over 

time affecting the taste of the coffee and 

operation of the espresso machine.

Purging water through the Group Head 

and Steam Wand, before and after making 

each coffee, is the easiest way to keep your 

machine clean. (See Operating Guide page 

8-11)

Important:

 Do not immerse the appliance 

or power cord or plug in water or any other 

liquid.
