Cleaning Your Espresso/Cappuccino Maker
Remove filter holder
First unplug the appliance power cord.
CAUTION: The metal parts of the filter holder might still be very hot.
Also there may be hot water floating on the top of the filter basket.
Remove the filer holder by rotating it to the left and taking it out of the brew
head.
If you are not going to use the machine again for some time, do not
re-insert the filter holder; this will lengthen the service life of the filter seal.
Cleaning the filter and filter holder
Knock the used espresso ground coffee out of the filter, holding the filter
firmly to the filter holder by the filter retainer clip. Then clean the filter and
the filter basket under running water. Do not place your filter holder or filter
basket in the dishwasher.
Remove the remaining water from the fresh water
Cleaning frothing tube
Clean the frothing nozzle, particularly after frothing milk. with a damp cloth.
If necessary. the frothing nozzle can be unscrewed in a counter-clockwise
direction u s e
the end of the measuring spoon and then it can be cleaned.
The nozzle must be screwed on again in a clockwise direction. Tighten
using reasonable force with the end of the measuring spoon provided.
Cleaning the drip grate and drlp tray
The drip grate can be taken out for cleaning very easily with the aid of the
finger-shaped depression at the rear left-hand edge of the drip tray. The drip
tray can be
taken out for cleaning by simply lifting it forward out of
machine base. The drip grate and drip tray should be washed by hand.
Cleaning the brew head
After it has been in use for some time, the brew head should be cleaned with
a damp cloth. If the brewing sieve (the underside of the brew head) Is partic-
ularly dirty it can be unscrewed from the brew head with the aid of a coin and
cleaned under running water.
Switch machine off
If the machine will not be used for some time it should be steamed out, so
that fresh water-is always available next time it is used. Place a container
half-full of water under the frothing tube and proceed as follows: Open the
steam selector control knob and let the steam out. If no more steam comes
out, close the steam selector control knob again. To switch the appliance
off, flip the ON/OFF switch downward. The brew ready light goes out.
