We recommend running steam through the wand for a few seconds (5'') after each use to clean and prevent clogging.

To clean the absorption holes (A and B), you can use a toothpick or a paperclip. This will ensure the tube is free of blockages. Hole B always on the top (see picture 7)

2-. Internal cleaning: To obtain top quality espresso coffee it is vital to clean the inner workings of the machine. To clean the interior of the distribution unit, use Ascaso Coffee Washer. This product is also useful to prevent limescale buildup in the machine. Regular descaling will contribute to ensuring top quality coffee and it will prolong the useful life of the machine.

Consult your distributor.

Coffee Washer use recommendations:

Coffee/day	Descaling

>10	every month
5-10	every 2 months
1-5	every 3 months

To avoid limescale buildup, you can also use water treatment filters. However, it is advisable to clean the machine in accordance with consumption. Using

filters and Coffee Washer will help to maintain the coffee machine in optimum working condition for longer.

!Important

It is advisable not to leave the pod or ground coffee in the filterholder. Otherwise, coffee will build up affecting the taste of the coffee. Should this occur, run a load of water through the system.

Mobile filterholder: Wash the filterholder in hot water with a neutral detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Dry the filterholder with a soft cloth. Do not wash it in the dishwasher.

The filters, tray and reservoir can be cleaned in the top of the dishwasher. If you wash them by hand, do not forget to rinse thoroughly. Dry with a soft cloth. Use a brush or similar item to remove coffee residue from the showerhead.
