CARE & MAINTENANCECARE & MAINTENANCE
A clean, well-maintained machine is essential to making delicious espresso. As you use your
machine, coffee residue and mineral deposits from your water naturally build up on the inner
components. Regular cleaning will remove these impurities before they can affect your machine's
functioning or the flavor of your espresso.
AFTER EACH USE
Purge the group head (see on page 16)
Wipe and purge the steam wand (see on page 18)
Rinse the portafilter and filter with hot water (see on page 17)
DAILY CLEANING
1. Unplug the machine and let it cool completely, then wipe the group head interior and shower
screen with a clean, damp cloth. Soak the filter baskets and portafilter in a solution of hot water
and an espresso machine cleaner (sold separately) for 10-15 minutes, then rinse and dry
thoroughly.
NOTE - Lean the portafilter against the side of the container to keep the rubber handle out of the
cleaning solution.
2. Unscrew the steam wand tip and use the cleaning pin to remove any milk residue. Fill the milk
pitcher with the same cleaning solution as step 1 and soak the wand and tip for 10-15 minutes,
rinse, and reassemble.
3. Flush the system with clean water following the instructions on pg. 10.
4. Wash the accessory tray, drip tray, and cover in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly,
and reassemble. Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth and then dry.
WEEKLY CLEANING
Remove the bean hopper. Use the cleaning brush to clear any debris from the grinder burrs and
grind outlet. Wash the hopper in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly, and reassemble.
MONTHLY CLEANING
Empty the bean hopper. Grind 1 tbsp of grinder cleaning pellets on a medium-fine setting. Grind
1/2 tbsp of coffee beans to push through any remaining crumbs and then refill and reassemble
the bean hopper.
DESCALING REMINDER
Your machine's descaling reminder will light up red after about 300 uses (including pumping hot
water and making steam). The machine will continue to operate normally but the indicator will
stay lit on until you either run a descaling cycle or cancel the reminder.
To cancel the descaling reminder, press and hold the and buttons for 2 seconds. The
machine will beep 3 times, the and lights will flash 3 times, and the light will go
out.
DESCALING FUNCTION
1. Add about 2 tsp (10 g) of descaler, or the amount indicated in the product instructions, to the
water tank and then fill with water to the MAX marking. Press the button and wait for the
machine to enter standby mode.
2. Place the milk pitcher under the steam wand and press and hold the button
for 10 seconds. The , , and lights will light up sequentially for 2 cycles and then go
out for 10 seconds. During the 10 second pause, turn the steam knob to and press the
button to begin the first stage of the descaling cycle, which lasts approximately 25 minutes.
NOTE - The descaling cycle lasts approximately 30 minutes, during which time all buttons and
functions will be inoperational. If for any reason you need to cancel the cycle, carefully pull the
plug to power the machine off. The red indicator will flash slowly and the white light will
remain on throughout the descaling cycle.
3. Let water and descaler run through the steam wand into the milk pitcher for about 5 minutes,
then turn the steam knob to to let the solution flow out the group head into the drip tray while
you empty and replace the pitcher. Turn the steam wand back to and repeat the process
2-3 more times, refilling the water tank if needed. When the first stage is complete, the machine
will beep 3 times.
4. Empty the water tank of any remaining descaling solution, rinse thoroughly, and refill with
clean water to the MAX marking. Place the pitcher under the group head and hot water tap and
press the button to start the second stage of the descaling cycle, which rinses the system with
clean water and lasts approximately 5 minutes. When this stage is complete, the and lights
will turn off and the machine will shut down.
NOTE - Remember to return the steam knob to the position before powering the machine
back on.
