CARE AND CLEANING

Keeping the PRO LINE™ Series Espresso Machine clean is vital to brewing the best espresso possible. Stale coffee oils on the portafilter, filter baskets, and shower screen will ruin the flavor of the most expertly prepared coffee, and any milk left on the frothing arm should be removed.

Before Cleaning the Espresso Machine

1.Turn off the espresso machine.

2.Unplug the espresso machine from the wall outlet, or disconnect power.

3.Let the espresso machine, and any attached parts or accessories, cool.

Cleaning the Frothing

Arm and Nozzle

The frothing arm and nozzle should always be cleaned after milk is frothed.

1.Remove the frothing sleeve from the frothing nozzle by pulling it downward. The frothing sleeve can be washed in warm, soapy water. Make sure any openings in the sleeve are free of residue.

2.Wipe the frothing arm and nozzle with a clean damp cloth. Do not use an abrasive scouring pad.

3.Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

4.Turn the espresso machine on, and let the boilers reach operating temperature. Point the frothing arm into an empty cup and open the steam dial momentarily to run steam through the frothing nozzle. This will clean the nozzle tip.
