Important:
Once cleaning process is finished, remove the filterholder and run water through the group
again to rinse out all remains. Repeat the cleaning process this time without detergent for
removal of any remains of the cleaning powder and store the blind filter in a convenient
place.
Cleaning the gasket and shower plate:
When placing the filterholder filled with grinded coffee into the brewing group, left overs will
accumulate in the closing surface. If these remains are excessive it can prevent a good
closing between the filterholder and the group head. Moreover, these remains can even
block the dispensing of water through the group head.
To prevent this perform the following cleaning:
Place the blind filter in the filter holder (without detergent).
Insert the filterholder in the group head, but do not tighten fully (the filterholder should be
loose).
Press the Continuous Dispensing button on the button panel.
Make an opening-closing movement of the filterholder in place without closing it. Water will
now flow around the filterholder, flowing through the closing surface and cleaning it.
Remove the filterholder from the group head.
Clean the shower and gasket with a soft brush to remove any coffee remains.
WARNING!
Take special care to avoid scalding when performing this cleaning operation, as the hot
water used to clean the gasket will spill over the sides of the filterholder.
WARNING!
Do not fully tighten the filterholder. If fully tightened, high-pressure water may spray out and
cause scalding or serious injury.
Remove and insert the filterholder gently.
Never use excessive force to try to close the filterholder.
Important:
Avoid placing wet cups directly on the cup shelf; it may drip into the machine and cause
machine damage.
