CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the Steam Wand and Frothing Attachment

•The steam wand and frothing attachment should always be cleaned after frothing milk

•Remove the frothing attachment and rinse in warm tap water. Ensure the two fine steam holes on either end of the frothing attachment are clear. Use the pin on the cleaning tool to unblock these holes.

•Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth, and then with the steam wand directed back into the drip tray, briefly set the Selector Control to the ‘Steam’ position. This will clear any remaining milk from inside the steam wand.

•Ensure the Selector Control is in the ‘Standby’ position. Press the POWER button, unplug from the power outlet and allow the machine to cool.

•If the Steam Wand remains blocked, use the pin on the cleaning tool to clear the opening.

•If the steam wand continues to be blocked, the tip of the steam wand can be removed by using the spanner in the middle of the cleaning tool.

•Soak the tip in hot water before using the pin on the cleaning tool to unblock. Replace the tip back onto the steam wand and secure with the cleaning tool.

Cleaning the Filters, Filter Holder and Group Head

•The stainless steel filters and filter holder should be rinsed under water directly after use to remove all coffee particles. Should the fine holes in the filters become blocked, the fine 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 coffee particles.

•Periodically run water through the machine with the filter holder in place, but without any ground coffee, to rinse out any residual coffee particles.
