Cleaning (Backflushing)
1) Remove the filter basket from the portafilter and replace with the blank filter
2) Put 1/2 tab of the espresso cleaner on top of the blank filter and insert the
portafilter in the machine and tighten securely. Remove the grill on top of the
drain pan.
3)Press the asterisk pad and in about 8-10 seconds the sound will become quiet
( because the basket will be full of water) then press the pad again.
Water and soap will be forced out the valve (below the brew head) into the drain
pan.
4)Continue to press the pad on for a few seconds and then off for the
discharge. Do this until the water runs clear, about 12 consecutive times
This
cleans old coffee from the brew head and the valve. It prevents clogging and
leaking valves. It is our experience that customers who do this weekly have no
maintenance problem.
5)Remove the portafilter from the machine and remove the blank filter, rinse the
basket and portafilter in the sink.
6)Now use your brush to clean the shower (screen) and gasket inside the brew
head. Remember that the water and the brew head are hot.
7)Remove the drain tray carefully by lifting it up and out, do not let it get too full
when backflushing (you may have to empty it twice). The water is very hot
so the stainless also is hot so use care when removing and emptying it.
If your machine has a hot water wand it is advisable to drain a cup or 2 of
hot water from the machine once a week, this will flush the boiler and
fresh water will fill the boiler. Make sure there is plenty of water in the
reservoir.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not touch hot surfaces:
the cup warmer on top of the machine
the brew head and chromed part of the portafilter (handle)
the steam wand after steaming
Steam can burn so be careful never to aim at yourself or anyone standing near by.
Before turning on the steam switch to steam milk always immerse the wand in the
milk so that it will not spray you and likewise do not remove the wand from the
milk until you have turned the steam switch off.
Locate the machine in an area that is out of reach from children, this is a hot
cooking appliance and should be treated as such.
Before plugging the machine in or out of an electrical socket be sure all switches
are off (the O position)
To avoid injury, shock or fire, the machine and the plug should be kept dry at all
times, if you spill water while filling the machine make sure it is dry before
turning on the machine.
