CLEANING THE FILTER BASKETS AND

rinsed under hot water directly after use

filter in solution for approx. 20 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly.

screen should be wiped with a damp
cloth to remove any ground coffee parti-
cles.

machine with the filter basket and porta-
filter in place, without ground coffee, to
rinse out any residual coffee.
CLEAR WATER BACK-FLUSH

ter basket.

coffee oils in the espresso water paths.

drip tray in warm soapy water. The Emp-
ty Me! indicator can also be removed
