Daily to weekly routine
Use hot water from the machine
Even the best treated water will lead to scale deposition in the steam boiler if the steam boiler is
predominantly used to steam milk. If the hot water-tap on the espresso machine is hardly ever used
get into the habit of doing your daily clean-up up with mix-water drawn from the espresso-machine
instead of from the buildings hot-water supply.
Clean body
Resistant smudges on high gloss metal panels may be removed with silver polish and a soft cloth
(these surfaces scratch easily, even copper polish may leave marks). Other materials can be cleaned
with window cleaner in a hand spray flask in combination with a soft, clean, cotton cloth. When the
material is warm you have to work swiftly to prevent stripes: spray and immediately rub.
Lift the drip tray grill from the machine and clean it with washing up liquid and a sponge.
Activate the groups (without filter holder locked in) or let the hot water run for a moment and use a
brush to push remains into the drain.
Remove filter basket
Materials needed
•
Group screen extractor (or back end of teaspoon)
Procedure
1. Remove the filter holder from the group and pry the filter basket out (see Figure 15).
2. When remounting the filter basket, make sure the spring remains in the indentation of the filter
holder and grabs the basket.
Figure 15. Pry filter basket from filter holder with the group screen extractor.
Clean filter holder
Remove the filter basket from the filter holder and clean the filter basket with a little washing up liquid
and plastic scouring pad or firm brush. Soak the metal part of the filter holder for 10 minutes in a
solution of 1 tablespoon of coffee dissolving powder in 0.5 litre hot water. The plastic handle will
eventually disintegrate in this solution and should thus be kept out of the solution.
Caution!
Never clean the filter holder in a dish washer as dish washer detergent will ruin it.
