The coffee making process involves extracting
oils out of coffee grinds to make espresso
coffee. Deposits of these oils build up over
time and affect the taste of the coffee and
operation of the espresso machine.
Regular cleaning to remove these oils is
essential for espresso machines to keep
operating effectively. Flushing water, through
the brewing head and the steam nozzle, is
the easiest way to keep your machine clean
after making each coffee, and at the end of
your coffee making session.
Important: Never wash your espresso
machine accessories in the dishwasher.
Drip tray
Remove the grid and drip tray at regular
intervals to empty (22), (23). If the red
floating level indicator appears through the
grid, empty the drip tray immediately.
Clean the drip tray and its grid with water
and a little non-abrasive washing up liquid,
rinse and dry.
Over time it is normal for the inside of the drip
tray to be stained by the oils in the coffee.
The brewing head, filters & filter handle
The filter and filter handle should be washed
after each use by rinsing them under warm
water. Wash at regular intervals in warm
soapy water using a mild detergent.
To clean the brewing head, flush water
through and wipe the head and around the
inside rim with a damp cloth.
To assist in keeping the filter and the brew
head clean, at the end of each coffee making
session we recommend you run the machine,
with the filter in place, without coffee –
using water only.
Should the holes in the filters become
clogged with coffee granules use a fine
bristled brush to remove them.
Brew head rubber seal
This seal is located in the brewing head and
creates a seal against the filter handle when
making an espresso.
Note: When your Bar Espresso is not being
used, we recommend that you do not leave
the filter handle attached to the machine as
this will reduce the life of the seal.
Over time this seal looses its elasticity and
will require replacement – usually every 6-12
months. Signs that the seal is deteriorating
are when: the filter handle rotates to the far
right and feels loose, or steam escapes from
around the brewing head during use.
The cup warming plate and exterior
Wipe over the unit with a damp cloth and
wipe dry. Do not use abrasives or metal
scourers, as these will scratch the exterior
surface.
Steam nozzle and froth attachment
The steam nozzle and froth attachment
needs to be cleaned each time you froth
milk or heat any other liquid. To clean the
steam nozzle, wipe with a damp cloth and
for the froth attachment, simply rinse it
under warm water.
On a monthly basis we recommend
thoroughly cleaning the steam nozzle.
To do this soak the nozzle in water with the
stainless frothing jug resting on the drip tray.
Ensure that the water level in the jug is over
the nozzle. Run steam through the nozzle for
30 seconds, then leave to soak overnight.
In the morning poke a pin up the steam
nozzle, the turn the machine on and run
steam through the nozzle again for 30
seconds.
Important: Do not wash parts in the
dishwasher. Do not immerse the unit in water.
