CLEANING THE FILTER BASKET AND
PORTAFILTER
•
The filter basket and portafilter should be
rinsed under hot water after each coffee
making session to remove all residual
coffee oils.
•
If the holes in the filter basket become
blocked, dissolve a cleaning tablet in hot
water and soak filter basket and portafilter
in solution for approx. 20 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly.
CLEAR WATER BACKFLUSH
•
After each coffee making session we
recommend doing a clear water backflush
before you turn off the machine. Empty
drip tray. Insert the cleaning disc into the
filter basket then insert the portafilter into
the group head. Press the 2 CUP button
and allow pressure to build for 20secs,
then press to stop and release pressure.
Repeat this 5 times to purge any fine coffee
grounds and residual coffee oils from the
brew water paths.
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, run hot water through the
group head with the filter basket and
portafilter in place, but without ground
coffee. This will remove any residual
ground coffee particles from the
shower screen.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
& STORAGE TRAY

tray indicator is showing Empty Me!
•
Remove grill from the drip tray. Wash the
drip tray in warm soapy water. The Empty
Me! indicator can also be removed from
the drip tray.

The storage tray can be removed and
cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not
