IF THE GRINDER IS BLOCKED
Should the grinder be blocked, this might be caused by contaminated coffee beans
(e.g. little stones).
Please proceed as follows:
●
Switch the appliance off with the On/Off button and disconnect the power plug
to resolve the blockade.
●
Remove the ground coffee left in the portafilter.
●
Turn the grind size rotary wheel to the left (
), to select the largest grind size:
9, 10 or 11. Remove all coffee beans out from the bean container. Coffee beans
that might be stuck in the bean container can be removed with a vacuum cleaner.
S
●
The contaminations that have caused the blocking fall out of the grinding cones.
●
Reconnect the appliance to the power mains and switch it on with the On/Off
button.
●
Place a container underneath the grinder resp. the bracket.
●
Briefly press the grinding button ( ) once.
●
If the motor of the grinder can turn freely, ground coffee falls into the container.
Throw this ground coffee away.
●
Press the grinder button again and turn the rotary wheel back to the previous
grind size setting. If the ground coffee is too coarse, you might need to throw
that ground coffee away as well.
●
Now, make espresso like you normally do.
CAUTION:
If the grinder is still blocked and can not be made to run, press the On/
Off button again and switch the appliance off.
Repeatedly, turn the grind size rotary wheel left and right. Try again to activate the
grinder. Should the grinder still be blocked after multiple attempts, please contact
Solis or a service centre authorised by Solis.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the appliance has to be switched off
and allowed to cool down with the power plug disconnected before every cleaning
cycle.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents, rough sponges or cloths as they
might scratch the surface.
ATTENTION:
Never immerse the espresso machine casing, the grinder, the power
cord or the power plug in water or other liquids or allow the parts to come into
contact with them!
NOTE:
The espresso machine parts and accessories are not dishwasher safe.

CLEANING THE FILTER INSERTS AND THE PORTAFILTER
●
It is recommended that the portafilter, with an empty filter insert inside, is reg-
ularly screwed into the brewing head and rinsed with hot water. Press the
or
button to flush hot water through the portafilter to remove potential
coffee residues and contaminations.
CAUTION:
Be careful when removing the portafilter afterwards, as the poten-
tially remaining pressure might cause hot water splashes.
●
Use the small needle of the cleaning tool to clean the hole of the double wall
filters. The pin is not intended for the single wall filters. Carefully push the needle
straight into the hole to avoid breaking it.
●
Place the dirty portafilter and the filter inserts in a container with mild detergent
and hot water up to the portafilter handle.
After that, thoroughly clean and dry everything.
CAUTION:
The portafilter and the filter inserts must not be cleaned in the dish
washer!
THOROUGH CLEANING WITH THE SOLITABS CLEANING TABLETS EVERY
3 MONTHS
You should thoroughly clean the filter inserts and the portafilter approximately every
third month with the SOLITABS cleaning tablets (art. no. 993.02) to remove coffee
grease and other contaminations.
Please proceed as follows:
●
Connect the power plug and switch the appliance on with the On/Off button.
Wait for all four function lights to light up constantly.
●
Place the filter insert (double wall, 1 cup) in the portafilter and put a SOLITABS
cleaning tablet as well as the white coin into the empty filter insert.
●
Screw the portafilter into the brewing head.
●
Push the
button to let hot water run out of the portafilter.
●
Push the
button again if water runs out of the portafilter to stop the water
flow.
