CARE AND CLEANING

CARE AND CLEANING

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: Do not wash parts in the dishwasher. Do not immerse the unit in water.

Drip tray

Remove the grid and drip tray at regular intervals to empty. 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 handles should be washed after each use by rinsing them under warm water. Wash at regular intervals in warm soap 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 filter 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. Over time this seal looses its elasticity and will require replacement. Sign 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. Note: When your machine is not being used, we recommend that you do not leave the filter handle attached to it as this will reduce the life of the seal.

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 clear 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 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, then turn the machine on and run steam through the nozzle again for 30 seconds.
