Cleaning the brew head, the porta-filter and filter
1. Switch the power button on the side
of the unit to the off position “O” and unplug the power cord
from the electrical outlet.
2. Some of the metal parts might still be hot. Do not touch them with your hands until they have
cooled.
3. Remove the porta-filter and discard the coffee grounds or used pod. Wash both the porta-filter
and filter with warm soapy water and rinse them well. Do not wash the porta-filter and filters in
the dishwasher.
4. Wipe lower part of the brew head in the unit with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any
coffee grounds that might have been left.
5. Place the porta-filter (without any filter) back in the brew head in the unit.
6. Place an empty large cup under the porta-filter.
7. Press the espresso button once and let the unit brew with water only until it stops automatically.
Cleaning the water reservoir
Discard the remaining water by removing the reservoir and turning it upside down over the sink. It is
recommended to empty the water reservoir between uses. Wash the water reservoir with soapy
water, rinse it well and wipe dry. The water reservoir is also dishwasher safe.
Cleaning the unit
1. Wipe housing with a soft wet cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they will
scratch the finish.
2. Do not store the porta-filter in the brew head. This can adversely affect the seal between the
brew head and the porta-filter while brewing espresso. You can store the porta-filter and filter
as below figure.
CAUTION: Do not immerse appliance in water.
