• Push down and hold the lever down, using the 

tamp cleaning brush, dust off grind residues in 

and around the tamp.

• Slowly release the lever back up making sure 

the cleaning brush is clear and out of the tamp 

system area.

CLEANING THE STEAM WAND

• The steam wand should always be cleaned 

after texturing milk. Wipe the steam wand with 

a damp cloth. Then with the steam wand tip 

directed over the drip tray, briefly set the 

STEAM / HOT WATER dial to the STEAM 

position. This will clear any remaining milk 

from inside the steam wand.

• If any of the holes in the tip of the 

steam wand become blocked, ensure the 

STEAM / HOT WATER dial is in the 

STANDBY position. Press the POWER button 

to switch the machine off and allow to cool. Use 

the pin on the end of the provided cleaning tool 

to unblock the hole(s).

• If the steam wand remains blocked, remove the 

tip using the integrated spanner in the cleaning 

tool and soak in hot water. Use the pin on the 

end of the provided cleaning tool to unblock the 

hole(s) before re-attaching to the steam wand.

CLEANING THE FILTER BASKETS 

AND PORTAFILTER

• The filter baskets and portafilter should be rinsed 

under hot water immediately after use to remove 

all residual coffee oils.

• If any of the holes in the filter basket become 

blocked, use the pin on the end of the provided 

cleaning tool to unblock the hole(s).

• If the hole(s) remain blocked, dissolve a cleaning 

tablet in hot water and soak filter basket and 

portafilter in solution for approx. 20 minutes.

• Rinse thoroughly.

CLEANING THE SHOWER SCREEN

• The group head interior and shower screen 

should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove 

any ground coffee particles.

• Periodically purge the machine. Place an empty 

filter basket and portafilter into the group head.

• Press and hold the 1 CUP button and run a short 

flow of water to rinse out any residual coffee.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY & 

STORAGE TRAY

• The drip tray should be removed, emptied, and 

cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the 

drip tray full indicator is showing EMPTY ME!

• Remove the grid from the drip tray. Lift the coffee 

grind separator and dispose of any coffee 

grounds. The EMPTY ME! indicator can also be 

removed from the drip tray by pulling upwards to 

release the side latches. Wash all parts in warm 

soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry 

thoroughly.

• The storage tray (located behind the drip tray) 

can be removed and cleaned with a soft, damp 

cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or 

cloths which can scratch the surface.

NOTE

All parts should be cleaned by hand using warm 

water and a gentle dish washing liquid. Do not 

use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which 

can scratch the surface. Do not clean any of the 

parts or accessories in the dishwasher.
