AFTER THE EXTRACTION
WARNING:
The metal parts of the portafilter and the lower part of the group
head may be very hot during use and thereafter. Only touch the portafilter by the
black handle and the group head at the top of the appliance. If required, cool the
portafilter down in cold water before touching the portafilter or filter basket with
your hands.
1. After the extraction, first remove your coffee cup from the drip tray.
2. Remove the portafilter from the group head. For this, hold the portafilter by the
handle and, if required, grasp the appliance
by the top
of the group head.
Rotate the portafilter to the INSERTION position to unlock it and lower it down
from the group head.
3. Empty the portafilter by holding it upside down and hitting the coffee grinds out.
Rinse the filter basket and portafilter with hot water to remove residues of coffee
powder and coffee oils. Hot water may be obtained via the hot water function
of the appliance (see: ‘Hot Water’).
4. Immediately after each extraction, you should purge the group head to remove
residues of coffee powder from the shower screen (in the group head). For this,
simply press the 1 cup button to give off hot water via the group head. If required,
after some seconds press the 1 cup button again to stop the water flow.
5. Wipe dry the portafilter, and leave dry naturally.
6. Empty the drip tray and, thereafter, push it back into the base of the appliance.
7. Do not leave the appliance switched on and/or connected to the power supply
uselessly. If you do not wish to use the appliance again, press the power button
to switch off the appliance. Then unplug.
Note
Used coffee grinds easily go mouldy. Thus, dispose of the coffee grinds in dome-
stic waste or degradable organic waste at least at the end of the day, and clean
the vessel used for coffee grinds. Do not dispose of the coffee grinds in the sink
to avoid clogging the outlet pipe.
Note
If the appliance is idle for more than 20 minutes, it will shut off automatically. If
you wish to switch on the appliance again, simply press the power button.
