CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the housing and accessories

Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads when cleaning
the Espresso Machine, or any Espresso Machine part or
accessory.
• Wipe the Espresso Machine housing with a clean, damp cloth
and dry with a soft cloth.
• Wash the filter holder in warm, soapy water and rinse with
clean water. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not wash the filter
holder in a dishwasher.
• The filter baskets, drip tray, drip plate, water tank, and
frothing jug can be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher,
or by hand in warm, soapy water. If washing by hand, be
sure to rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the shower screen

Once every 75 to 100 cups of espresso, the shower screen
should be removed from the brew head to clean thoroughly.
1. Using a short screwdriver, remove the screw at the centre
of the shower screen by turning it counterclockwise. Once
the screw is free, the shower screen should drop from the
brew head.

Priming after long periods of non-use

For the best tasting espresso, prime the Espresso Machine
with fresh water after a long period of non-use. Priming will
also ensure that the boilers are filled and the Espresso Machine
is ready to operate.

• Use the shower-screen brush or a damp cloth to brush or
wipe coffee grounds from the brew head gasket and shower
screen.
2. Wash the shower screen in warm, soapy water, and rinse
with clean water.
3. Place the shower screen into the brew head with the
smooth side facing down, and attach with the shower
screen screw. Turn the screw clockwise until snug.
NOTE: When the shower screen is attached, the centre screw
should be flush with the surface of the screen. If it is not,
remove the screen, turn it over, and reattach it.
1. Remove the tank, empty any stale water, replace, and fill
the tank with fresh water to the max fill line.
2. Fill the boilers with the fresh water. For instructions, see
the "Filling and rinsing the boilers" section.
