CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning fi lters, fi lter holder and brewing
head
The stainless steel fi lters and fi lter holder
should be rinsed under water directly after
use to remove all coff ee particles. Should the
fi ne holes in the fi lters become blocked; the
fi ne pin on the cleaning tool can be used to
clear the holes.
The group head interior should be wiped
with a damp cloth to remove any ground
coff ee particles.
Periodically run water through the machine
with the fi lter holder in place, but without
any ground coff ee, to rinse out any residual
coff ee particles.
Cleaning the housing and cup warming
plate
The outer housing can be wiped with a soft,
damp cloth (do not use abrasive agents or
cloths which can scratch the surfaces).
Cleaning the drip tray
The drip tray should be removed, emptied
and cleaned at regular intervals, particularly
when the drip tray full indicator is showing
‘Empty Me!’.
Remove the stainless steel grid and pull
the ‘Empty Me!’ full indicator upwards to
dislodge from the drip tray. Wash with warm
soapy water, using a non-abrasive washing
liquid, rinse and dry thoroughly.
To re-insert the ‘Empty Me!’ full indicator
back into the drip tray, simply push back
into aligning slots.
NOTE
Decalcifying the espresso machine
After regular use, hard water (especially) may
cause mineral built up in and on many of the
inner functioning components, reducing the
brewing fl ow, power of the machine, and
aff ecting the quality of coff ee.
We advise decalcifying the machine on
a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using
a mixture of white vinegar and water.
Follow the instructions provided or use the
following as a guide:
Diluted solution (for softer water)
- 1 part white vinegar
- 2 parts cold tap water
Concentrated solution (for hard water)
- 1 part white vinegar
- 1 part cold tap water
Do not powder agents for decalcifying.
NOTE
Do not clean any of the parts or accessories
in the dishwasher.
NOTE
DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR APPLIANCE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER
LIQUID.
