EVERY 1-2 MONTHS

REPL ACING SHOWER SCREEN

The dispersion screen may become bent or damaged and should be 
replaced periodically. Ideally, the mesh screen will sit firmly against the 
metal backing. If a gap forms, replace the dispersion screen.

PARTS AND TOOLS:

•  Replacement shower screen 

•  Flat-head screwdriver

PROCEDURE:

1. 

Complete steps 1-3 of “General Group Cleaning” under “Grouphead”. 

2. 

Discard old dispersion screen.

3. 

Install new screen and secure with the screw from step 1, taking 
care not to over-tighten. Tighten the screw with your fingers until it 
is secure, then rotate an additional 90 degrees (1/4 turn) with the 
screwdriver.

CAUTION: failure to reinstall the dispersion screw and screen 

before next use may cause the grouphead to clog with coffee 
particles. Do not attempt to brew espresso before the dispersion 
screw and screen have been correctly installed.

For additional assistance with this procedure, refer to parts 
diagrams. 

REPL ACING PORTAFILTER GASKET

The portafilter gasket forms a seal between the portafilter and the 
grouphead, preventing leaks. Over time, the portafilter gasket will become 
hard and lose its seal. If it becomes difficult to insert the portafilter or if 
dripping occurs around the portafilter body while brewing, replace the 
portafilter gasket.

PARTS AND TOOLS:

•  Replacement 6mm portafilter gasket 

•  Flat-head screwdriver

•  Pick or awl

•  Cleaning brush or towel

PROCEDURE:

1. 

Complete steps 1-3 of “General Group Cleaning” under “Grouphead”.

2. 

Use a pick or awl to remove the old portafilter gasket, pressing the 
pick into the gasket and pulling downwards. If the gasket breaks 
into small pieces, continue picking until the entire gasket has been 
removed.

3. 

Insert new portafilter gasket in such a way that the flat side touches 
the grouphead and the round side is visible from the bottom. Gently 
press the gasket into place, then use a screwdriver, pick, or awl to 
secure it in place.

4. 

Return the clean dispersion screw and screen to the grouphead.

CAUTION: failure to reinstall the dispersion screw and screen 
before next use may cause the grouphead to clog with coffee 
particles. Do not attempt to brew espresso before the dispersion 
screw and screen have been correctly installed.

For additional assistance with this procedure, refer to parts 
diagrams.
