Cleaning the brew group
Regular cleaning of the brew group prevents coffee residues from clogging up the internal circuits.
Visit www.saeco.com/care for support videos on how to remove, insert and clean the brew group.
Cleaning the brew group under the tap
1 Remove the brew group and the coffee residues drawer.
2 Rinse the coffee residues drawer and the brew group thoroughly with water. Carefully clean the
upper filter (Fig. 21) of the brew group.
3 Let the brew group air-dry before you place it back. Do not dry the brew group with a cloth to
prevent fibers from collecting inside the brew group.
Cleaning the brew group with the coffee oil remover tablets
Only use Philips coffee oil remover tablets. Follow the instructions given in the user manual that
comes with the coffee oil remover tablets. Visit www.saeco.com/care for detailed video instructions.
Lubricating the brew group
Lubricate the brew group regularly to ensure that the moving parts continue to move smoothly.
1 Apply a thin layer of grease around the shaft in the bottom of the brew group (Fig. 22).
2 Apply a thin layer of grease to the rails on both sides (Fig. 23).
