7.1 General cleaning
Daily cleaning:
Portafilters, filters, water tank, drip tray, drip plate of the drip tray, measuring-spoon and tamper require daily
cleaning. Clean with warm water and/or with a food safe detergent.
Clean the shower screen and the group gasket in the lower part of the group and remove visible dirt without
dissasembling the parts.
Cleaning as necessary:
Clean the steam and hot water valve after every use.
Clean the body when the machine is switched off and cold.
Depending on usage, please refresh the boiler water every 2
–
3 weeks by operating the pump switch and extracting
about 0.8L of hot water from the steam wand.
Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.
Never use abrasive or chloric detergents!
Empty the water drip tray regularly and do not wait until it is full.
7.2 Brew group cleaning and degreasing
A brew group cleaner is available at your specialised dealer. With this detergent, you can clean and degrease the
group very easily. The cleaning is carried out using the blind filter included in delivery. The group cleaning with our
tablets can be carried out after approx. 90 - 150 cups.
Follow the instructions as noted below:
1
Heat up the machine until the operating pressure has been reached (1.0-1.2 bar).
2
Place the blind filter into the portafilter.
3
Put an ECM cleaner (1/2 sachet) into the portafilter.
4
Clamp the portafilter into the brew group.
5
Operate the group lever. The blind filter will fill with water.
6
Let the detergent react, moving the group lever into the middle position, approx. 45°. (Do not move it into the
lower position.)
7
Move the lever into the lower position after approx. 1 minute. This way, the fats and oils can be discharged by
the infusion cylinder.
8
Repeat steps 5-7 up to 10 times, until only clear water is discharged by the infusion cylinder.
9
Rinse the portafilter and the blind filter with fresh water. Then replace it.
Operate the group lever for approx. 1 minute. Then move it back into the lower position.
10
Remove the portafilter and repeat step 9. After this, the brew group is ready for use.
11
Place the filter for 1 or 2 cups into the portafilter.
Caution!
Beware of hot sprayings while cleaning the group.
