Replace dispersion base and plate
The dispersion base and plate are sold as a set only (with new screws) as both parts deteriorate
simultaneously. The protrusion on the dispersion base easily breaks off when the plastic material is
affected (by cleaning powder).
Materials needed
•
Short screw driver no.2
•
Group screen extractor (included in shipment, or back end of a fork or spoon)
•
Plastic brush (included in shipment)
•
Coffee dissolving powder (included in shipment)
•
Replacement for dispersion set.
Procedure
1. Remove the group dispersion plate (see previous item).
2. Gently pull the dispersion base from the group bottom, pull as perpendicular as possible. Do not
twist the dispersion base.
If the dispersion base does not come off from the group bottom easily, use two longer M5 bolts to
get a grip on the base (see Figure 18a,b).
If the protrusion breaks from the base and remains in the group head, pull out with needle nose
pliers or twist in a (wood) screw and pull the screw with protrusion from the group bottom.
3. Mount the new base and plate with the new screws, discard the old screws.
4. Remount the group screen and seal (see previous item).
Figure 18. How to remove the dispersion base if it does not come out easily. Use 2 bolts M5x60 or
similar to get grip onto the dispersion base.
