Filter holder
Remove the filter basket from the filter holder and clean it with a little washing up liquid
and plastic scouring pad. Place the metal part of the filter holder for 10 minutes in a
solution of 1 tablespoon of coffee dissolving powder in hot water. The plastic handle will
corrode in this solution and should thus be kept out of the solution.
Beware!
Never clean the filter holder in a dish washer as dish washer detergent will ruin it.
Steam wand
Milk easily sticks to the hot surface of the steam wand and tip and eventually leaves
baked on remains. Therefore, the steam wand and tip should be cleaned with a damp
cloth directly after each use. Do not use this cloth for anything else than the steam
wand.
Beware!
Immediately after steaming milk you should flush the steam wand with a little steam.
This will prohibit milk creeping into the pipe, and even into the valve house, through the
so called capillary rise.
Flushing also prevents the 4 holes in the tip to clog. In the event that clogging occurs,
place the end of the steam wand and tip for several minutes in a glass of hot water. The
remains will soften and can be wiped off easily. NEVER scrape, grind or cut the steam
wand or tip since it leads to avoidable damage.
