13.4 Coffee filter cleaning and maintenance
The coffee filters are designed to obtain the best possible coffee
froth. For best results, the filters must always be clean and free
from all coffee residues.
After using the appliance, always rinse the filters under abun-
dant running water (fig. 36), pushing the perforated filter to
make sure it is always correctly inserted in its housing (fig. 37);
make sure the hole underneath (shown in fig. 40) is free from
all residues.

the coffee filters thoroughly:
