HOW TO CLEAN THE MILK RESERVOIR AND FROTHING TUBE
1. Remove the milk reservoir from the unit (tilt it up before pulling it out). Transfer any
remaining milk to another container and refrigerate.
2. Wash the milk reservoir and its lid thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well. Do
not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, as they will scratch the finish. The milk
reservoir is NOT dishwasher safe.
3. Attach the portafilter with an empty basket in it to the brew head in the unit.
4. Place a large empty cup under the brew head and be sure there is water in the water
reservoir.
5. Add fresh water to the milk reservoir and return it to the unit.
6. Set the froth strength to Extra. Use the silver froth tube lever to position the froth
dispensing tube over the cup.
7. Press the CLEAN button. Hot water and steam will come out in bursts. Do not remove
the cup until the clean cycle has completely ended (unit will beep three times and
other function buttons will light up).
NOTE:
If the clean cycle is canceled before
finishing, wait a few minutes before removing the cup as more hot water and steam
may be expelled.
8. After the cycle ends, dispose of the water in the mug and any water left in the milk and
water reservoirs.
HOW TO CLEAN THE WATER RESERVOIR
Empty the water reservoir between uses. Discard the remaining water by removing the
reservoir emptying it into the sink. Wash the water reservoir as needed with soapy water,
rinse it well and wipe it dry. The water reservoir is NOT dishwasher safe.
HOW TO CLEAN THE PORTAFILTER AND BREW HEAD
NOTE:
This method of cleaning is useful if you make espresso only. If you
make cappuccino or latte or use the milk frothing tube separately, you can clean
both the brew head, portafilter, and frothing tube all at the same time following
the directions starting at the bottom of p. 18.
1. Before cleaning, turn off the unit and unplug it. Some of the metal parts might still be
hot. Do not touch them with your hands until they have cooled.
2. If not already out, remove the portafilter and discard the used coffee grounds. To hold
the basket in place while emptying grinds, flip up the portafilter basket retention clip
and hold it down with your thumb as you empty the basket.
3. Rinse the basket and portafilter with warm soapy water and rinse well. Single and
double shot baskets are top-rack dishwasher safe, but the portafilter is not.
4. Wipe the underside of the brew head with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any
coffee grounds that might have been left behind
