CARE & CLEANING
CLEANING CYCLE
The CLEAN ME light will illuminate when a cleaning cycle is required.
This is a back-flushing cycle and is separate from descaling.
1. Insert the 1 CUP filter basket into the portafilter, followed by the
supplied cleaning disc, followed by 1 cleaning tablet.
2. Lock the portafilter into the group head and place a large container
beneath the portafilter spouts.
3. Ensure the water tank is filled with cold water and the drip tray
is empty.
4. Press the POWER button to switch the machine off.
5. Press the 1 CUP and 2 CUP buttons simultaneously, then also press
the POWER button. Hold all 3 buttons together for approximately
10 seconds.
6. The cleaning cycle will commence and last for approximately
5 minutes. During this time, water will intermittently flow from the
portafilter spouts. Once complete, 3 beeps will sound.
7. Remove the portafilter and ensure the tablet has completely dissolved.
If the tablet has not dissolved, repeat until the tablet has dissolved.

DESCALING
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build up in and on many
of the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, brewing
temperature, power of the machine, and taste of the espresso. We advise
descaling the machine every month and especially if not using the machine
for an extended period e.g. Before going on vacation.
1. Press the POWER button to switch the machine off.
2. Pour a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and cold tap water into the
water tank.
3. Remove the portafilter from the group head and place a large container
beneath the group head and steam wand.
4. Press the POWER button to switch the machine on. When the brewing
temperature has been reached and all the button lights on the control
panel have Illuminated, press and hold the 1 CUP button to commence
a manual pour. Release the button once half the mixture of white
vinegar and water has run through the group head.
5. Set the STEAM/HOT WATER dial to the HOT WATER position and
allow hot water to run through the hot water outlet for approximately
30 seconds. Return the dial back to the STANDBY position.
6. Set the STEAM/HOT WATER dial to the STEAM position and allow
steam to run through the steam wand for approximately 2 minutes.
Return the dial back to the STANDBY position.
7. If any of the mixture remains in the water tank, press and hold the
1 CUP button to commence a manual pour. Release the button once
the tank is empty and nothing runs through the group head.
8. In environments with harder water, we recommend repeating
this cycle.
9. After descaling, remove the water tank, rinse thoroughly then refill with
fresh cold water only. To rinse the machine, repeat steps 3-7.
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 cooling. 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
• 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 in to the group head. Press and hold the 1 CUP button and run
a short flow of water to rinse out any residual coffee.
