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 handle material may 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 will leave 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, by means of 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.
