Body
The outside of the machine can be cleaned with window cleaner in a hand spray flask in
combination with a soft, often washed, cotton cloth. When the machine is turned “on” it
will be warm and 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 group (without filter holder placed) or let the hot water tap run for a
moment and use a brush to push remains into the drain.
To prevent clogging of the drain hose pour, as often as needed (with regular use once
every 2 days), one teaspoon of coffee dissolving powder into the drain and flush it with
some hot water down the drain.
Back flush group
Back flushing cleans the group and conduits from coffee residue which influences the
taste of the extraction since fresh (hot) water is transported to the coffee bed through
these parts. It is advised to back flush the group at least once a day and when
intensively used several times per day. A blind filter is a filter basket without perforations
in the bottom.
Materials needed
Plastic group brush (included in shipment)
Blind filter (included in shipment)
Coffee dissolving powder (included in shipment)
Wide screw driver (or back end of teaspoon)
Procedure
1.
Remove the filter holder, activate the pump (lever in lower position) and flush the
group for approximately 5 seconds.
2.
Clean the group screen and rubber group seal with the plastic group brush.
3.
Pry the filter basket (e.g. with a teaspoon) from the filter holder (see figure 8)
and replace it with the blind filter.
4.
Scoop 1 teaspoon of coffee dissolving powder in the blind filter and place the filter
holder in the group.
5.
Activate the pump until full 9 Bar pressure is reached (lever in lower position for
approximately 5 seconds) and shut off the pump (lever in upper position).
6.
Wait for approximately 3 seconds (the pre-infusion cylinder should have time to
empty) then activate the pump again for approximately 5 seconds.
7.
Repeat the last step 9 times (wait 3 seconds, activate pump 5 seconds).
8.
Remove the filter holder from the group, clean the blind filter by flushing it under
the tap, activate the pump for approximately 5 seconds to remove possible
powder from the group screen.
9.
Repeat step 6 (3 seconds pump “off”, 5 seconds pump “on”) 4 times but remove
the filter holder and pour out remaining liquids between each flush.
Note!
Removing the filter holder is essential to prevent remnants of cleaning powder to
settle between the plunger and housing of the 3-way group valve.
10.
Pry the blind filter from the filter holder and replace the filter basket.
