CARE & CLEANING
REPLACING THE WATER FILTER
The provided water filter helps prevent scale build-up in and on many of the inner functioning
components. Replacing the water filter after 3 months or 40L will reduce the need to descale
the machine.
CLEANING CYCLE
The machine will detect when 200 extractions
have been carried out since the last cleaning
cycle; this will be shown by the 1 CUP and 2
CUP buttons alternately flashing.
1. Insert the provided cleaning disc into
the filter basket in the portafilter.
2. Place a cleaning tablet on top of the
cleaning disc.

3. Lock the portafilter into the group head.
4. Empty the drip tray and replace onto the
machine. Place a 2L / 68 fl.oz container
under the portafilter and steam wand
sitting on the drip tray.

7. The 1 CUP and 2 CUP buttons will
remain illuminated. Press either 1 CUP
or 2 CUP to begin the cleaning cycle.
When the cycle is in progress, the lights
will alternatively flash.
8. Once the cycle is complete the machine
will go back to ready mode.
9. Remove and rinse the portafilter,
cleaning disc, drip tray and container.
DESCALING
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral
build up in and on many of the inner functioning
components, reducing the brewing flow, brewing
temperature, power of the machine, and the
taste of the espresso.
The machine will indicate that it requires
descaling when the 1 CUP and STEAM
button and the 2 CUP button flash alternately
for 15 seconds. Pressing any of these buttons
will cancel the alert and return the machine
to ready mode.
