We suggest a thorough clean of all the coffee baskets, to
prevent the holes from becoming blocked. Use no dishwashing
liquid for this. As soon as the basket holes get bigger or the
baskets are squashed on the sides, we suggest exchanging
them for new ones. After the baskets have been cleaned, we
also recommend cleaning the inside of the portafilter. The
shower
12
, which sits in the brew group
9
, is cleaned auto-
matically through the daily cleaning of the brew group.
To check this, let the water flow out of the brew group without
the portafilter attached. If the water flows consistently out
of the shower, it is clean. However, if the water flows out
inconstantly or splashes, even though it has been cleaned, it
is most likely broken and needs to be replaced. The sealing
gaskets hinder the splashing of water while in use, but needs
to be changed as soon as water loss on the brew head is
noticed. The loss of water reduces the amount of pressure,
which is put on the coffee basket. This reduces the quality of
the final product. The machine is fitted with a thermostatic
safeguard, which hinders the burnout of the boiling element if
the machine is in use without any water. If the safeguard has
for some reason switched itself off, please let us, or our local
service partner, know immediately.
Upon consultation you can of course also send us your Cre-
mina, not only in the case of a defect, but also for its regular
check-up. To do so, please order and use a big enough delivery
box from us.
Steam.
Hot Water
You can also use the steam to boil water or make tea. To do
this, open the brew tab
3
slightly to release condensed water
or remaining air before starting. This will also prevent any
suction of the fluid being heated up. Put the end of the steam
nozzle
12
into the filled cup or a different container. Leave the
steam tab opened until the desired temperature is reached.
Then, close the tab again before removing the container or
cup.
Hot milk without froth
Fill the milk froth container with milk; immerse the steam
nozzle
12
in the milk. Now turn on the steam tab and turn it
off again as soon as the desired temperature is reached. Close
the tab first before pulling away the container; otherwise, the
milk may splash out.
