CLEANING AND CARE
Important:
To obtain the best efficiency, quality and performance of the machine, you should always
follow the cleaning and care instructions provided in this manual.
Turn off the power switch when cleaning the exterior of the machine.
All external surfaces should be cleaned with a wet cloth that will not get out fibers, threads or
scratch the machine.
Do not use aggressive cleaning detergents, solvents or degreasers. They can damage the
machine.
Important:
Once a day or after 8 hours from the last dispensing of coffee, the following cleaning tasks
must be performed for maintaining the quality and performance of the water system in the
machine:
Brewing Group: Place the empty porta-filter (without coffee) in the group head and
dispense hot water for one minute.
Steam wand: Position the wand outside the drip tray and open the steam lever for around
one minute.
Hot water outlet: Place a container under the water outlet and open the lever for 20
seconds.
Rinse the group and porta-filter without detergent. (only using the membrane and hot water)
Clean the external surfaces of the machine, pay special attention to the stainless steel parts.
Clean the steam wand and the water tap. Be sure that the nozzles are not blocked or half blocked
with for example milk residue. If it’s necessary to clean, be careful not to deform or damage any of
the components.
Clean the dip tray and the stainless steel insert grid under running water with a brush. You can
slowly pour 1L of hot water into the drain cup to dissolve and remove coffee residue that have
accumulated inside the cup and tubes.

Clean the brewing group and porta-filter with professional cleaning powder (page 11).
