AFTER bREwING: CLEAN-UP
! Make sure to use the Filter Retainer Clip when discarding the
grounds. The metal parts of the Filter Holder might still be very
hot. Cool these parts by running under cold water (Figure 7).
1. After the machine has cooled and pressure has been released,
remove the Filter Holder by sliding handle to the left away
from the LOCK position. Discard the grounds, using the Filter
Retainer Clip to hold the Filter in place while emptying.
2. Remove Frothing Aid and wipe Frothing Arm with a damp
cloth. Using the Wrench built into the Scoop, unscrew the
Frothing Tip and clean valve with a needle or toothpick.
(Figure 8)
3. The Glass Carafe, Glass Carafe Lid, Filter, Filter Holder and Drip
Tray can be washed with soapy water.
4. Wipe housing with a soft wet cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or scouring pads as they will scratch the finish.
DELIMING
Mineral deposits built-up in the Espresso Maker will affect
the operation of the appliance. Your Espresso Maker must
be delimed when you begin to notice an increase in the time
to brew espresso, or when there is excessive steaming. Also,
you may notice a build up of white deposits on the surface
of the brew head. The frequency of cleaning depends upon
the hardness of the water used. The following table gives the
suggested cleaning intervals.
