CLEANING THE STEAM WAND

The steam wand should always be cleaned after texturing milk. Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth. Then with the steam wand tip directed over the drip tray, briefly set the STEAM/ HOT WATER dial to the STEAM position. This will clear any remaining milk from inside the steam wand.

If any of the holes in the tip of the steam wand become blocked, ensure the STEAM/HOT WATER dial is in the STANDBY position. Press the POWER button to switch the machine off and allow to cool. Use the pin on the end of the provided cleaning tool to unblock the hole(s).

If the steam wand remains blocked, remove the tip using the integrated spanner in the cleaning tool and soak in hot water. Use the pin on the end of the provided cleaning tool to unblock the hole(s) before re-attaching to the steam wand.

CLEANING THE FILTER BASKETS AND PORTAFILTER

The filter baskets and portafilter should be rinsed under hot water immediately after use to remove all residual coffee oils.

If any of the holes in the filter basket become blocked, use the pin on the end of the provided cleaning tool to unblock the hole(s).

If the hole(s) remain blocked, dissolve a cleaning tablet in hot water and soak filter basket and portafilter in solution for approx. 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.

CLEANING THE SHOWER SCREEN

The group head interior and shower screen should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any ground coffee particles.

Periodically purge the machine. Place an empty filter basket and portfilter into the group head. Press and hold the 1 CUP button and run a short flow of water to rinse out any residual coffee.

CLEANING THE DRIP &

STORAGE 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 grid from the drip tray. Lift the coffee grind separator and dispose of any coffee grounds. The EMPTY ME! indicator can also be removed from the drip tray by pulling upwards to release the side latches. Wash all parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

The storage tray (located behind the drip tray) can be removed and cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface.

NOTE

All parts should be cleaned by hand using warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface. Do not clean any of the parts or accessories in the dishwasher.

CARE & CLEANING

CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING & CUP WARMING TRAY

The outer housing and cup warming tray can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Polish with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface.

STORING YOUR MACHINE

Before storing, ensure the STEAM/HOT WATER dial is in the STANDBY position, press the POWER button to switch the machine off and remove the plug from the power outlet. Remove unused beans from the hopper, clean the grinder (see page 29), empty the water tank and the drip tray.

Ensure the machine is cool, clean and dry.
