CLEANING THE FILTER BASKET AND PORTAFILTER
1. Rinse the filter basket and portafilter under hot water after each coffee making
session to remove all residues of coffee grinds and oils. For this, you may use

2. If the holes in the filter basket became blocked, soak the filter basket and portafil-
ter in hot dishwater for approx. 20 minutes. Alternatively, dissolve a Gastroback
cleaning tab (Art.-Nr. 97830) to get a suitable cleaning solution.

whether the holes are clear.
4. If required, use the fine pin of the cleaning tool (labelled as FILTER) to open the
holes of the filter mesh.
