USING THE ALLEN KEY

Over time, the silicone seal surrounding the 

shower screen will need to be replaced to 

ensure optimum brewing performance.
1.  Press the POWER button to switch the 

machine off and unplug the cord from the 

power outlet. 

2.  Carefully remove the water tank and drip 

tray, taking particular care if they are full. 

3.  Using a skewer or similar, clean the center 

of the screw of any residual coffee. 

4.  Insert the shorter end of the Allen Key 

into the center of the screw. Turn counter-

clockwise to loosen the screw.

Clean center of screw 

before inserting Allen Key.

5.  Once loosened, carefully remove and retain 

the screw and the stainless steel shower 

screen. Make note of the side of the shower 

screen that is downwards. This will make 

re-assembly easier. Wash the shower screen 

in warm soapy water, then dry thoroughly. 

6.  Remove the silicone seal with your fingers 

or a pair of long-nose pliers. Insert the new 

seal, flat side first, so the ribbed side is 

facing you.

7.  Re-insert the shower screen, then the screw. 

With your fingers, turn the screw clockwise 

for 2-3 revolutions then insert the Allen Key 

to tighten until the screw is flush with the 

shower screen. Do not overtighten screw. 

8.  Re-insert the drip tray and water tank. 

Contact Sage Consumer Support or visit the 

Sage webpage for replacement silicone seals or 

for advice.

TRANSPORTING AND STORING

Press the POWER button to switch the 

machine off and remove the plug from the 

power outlet. Remove unused beans from the 

hopper, clean the grinder, empty the water 

tank and the drip tray. Ensure the machine is 

cool, clean and dry. Insert all accessories into 

the storage tray. Store upright. Do not place 

anything on top.
