Exterior
The outside of the machine can be cleaned with window cleaner in a hand spray flask in combination
with a soft, often washed, cotton cloth. When the machine is turned “on” it will be warm and you have
to work swiftly to prevent stripes: spray and immediately rub. To remove difficult stains without
scratching the surface of the aluminium side panels use silver polish and a soft cotton cloth.
Lift the drip tray grill from the machine and clean it with washing up liquid and a sponge. Activate the
group (without filter holder locked in) or let the hot water tap run for a moment and use a brush to push
remains into the drain.
To prevent clogging of the drain hose pour, as often as needed (with regular use once every 2 days),
one teaspoon of coffee dissolving powder into the drain and flush it with some hot water down the
drain.
Back flush group
Back flushing cleans the group and conduits from coffee residue which influences the taste of the
extraction since fresh (hot) water is transported to the coffee bed through these parts. It is advised to
back flush the group at least once a day and when intensively used several times per day.
NB: a blind filter is a filter basket without perforations in the bottom.
Materials needed
Plastic group brush (included in shipment)
Blind filter (included in shipment)
Coffee dissolving powder (included in shipment)
Group screen extractor (included in shipment)
Procedure
1. Remove the filter holder, activate the pump (lever in lower position) and flush the group for
approximately 5 seconds.
2. Clean the group screen and rubber group seal with the plastic group brush.
3. Pry the filter basket from the filter holder (see
Figure U 6
) and replace it with the blind filter.
4. Scoop 1 teaspoon of coffee dissolving powder in the blind filter and place the filter holder in
the group.
5. Activate the pump until full 9 bar pressure is reached (lever in lower position for approximately
5 seconds) and shut off the pump (lever in upper position).
6. Wait for approximately 3 seconds (the pre-infusion cylinder should have time to empty) then
activate the pump again for approximately 5 seconds.
7. Repeat the last step 9 times (wait 3 seconds, activate pump 5 seconds).
8. Remove the filter holder from the group, clean the blind filter by flushing it under the tap,
activate the pump for approximately 5 seconds to remove possible powder from the group
screen.
9.
Repeat step 6 (3 seconds pump “off”, 5 seconds pump “on”) 4 times but remove the filter
holder and pour out remaining liquids between each flush.
Note!
Removing the filter holder is essential to prevent remnants of cleaning powder to settle
between the plunger and housing of the 3-way group valve.
10. Pry the blind filter from the filter holder and replace the filter basket.
