Care and cleaning continued
Steam wand
Keeping the steam arm clean is essential
to ensure maximum efficiency of the steam
function. A build up of caramelised/dried
milk on the steam wand will impair the
steaming and texturing ability of the espresso
machine.
Important: Wipe the steam wand clean with a
damp cloth immediately after each use and
purge a small amount of steam.
Should the milk dry/caramelise on the
steam wand, simply wrap the wand with
a clean damp cloth, turn the steam wand
over the drip tray and turn the steam on for
approximately 10 seconds (47). With the
cloth still on the steam wand leave to soak
for about 5 minutes and you will find that
after this time the dry/caramelised milk will
easily wipe away. Repeat process if still dirty.
Important: Never clean the steam wand with
an abrasive pad as this will damage the
steam wand.
Should the steam wand become blocked,
supplied with the espresso machine is a
cleaning pin. The cleaning pin is attached to
the cleaning disk located on the inside of the
back door of the espresso machine (49). The
cleaning pin has two pins at each end - one
pin is labelled 'STEAM' and is the longer of
the two. With the cleaning pin insert it into
the hole in the base of the steam nozzle
(48). Should the steam wand remain blocked
unscrew the steam nozzle from the steam
wand. Clean the steam nozzle by once again
using the cleaning pin then flush under
running water.
Cleaning the group head
Deposits of coffee oils build up over time and
affect the taste of the coffee and operation
of the espresso machine. Therefore the
group head will require regular cleaning. It is
recommended that the group head is cleaned
at a minimum every 3 months, this will vary
depending on the frequency of use.
Preparing for the cleaning cycle
1. Remove the water reservoir and rinse
clean. To do so, open the door on the
back of the espresso machine (3) and
simply slide out the water reservoir (4).
With fresh water completely fill (5) and
replace the reservoir.
2. With the door to the back of the espresso
machine still open remove the cleaning
disc, located on the inside of the back
door (49).
