Cleaning the milk reservoir and frothing tube
Although you can store leftover milk in the milk reservoir in the refrigerator,
the reservoir and frothing tube must be cleaned regularly to avoid clogging
and residue build-up. To clean the milk reservoir, please follow these steps:
1
Remove the milk reservoir from the unit
2
Remove the lid of the reservoir.
3
Pour away any leftover milk and rinse and wash the milk reservoir and
its lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry the parts well.
Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, as they will scratch the
finish. The milk reservoir is dishwasher safe – it should be placed in the
top rack. The lid is not dishwasher-safe and should be hand-washed.
4
When cleaning the milk reservoir, you can open the silicon sheet – but
do not pull it out. Wash it under the tap and replace it.
5
Press and hold the "Latte/Clean" key for 3 seconds. The unit will start
releasing steam through the frothing tube. Let it run for a few seconds
until all milk residue has gone. When finished, press the "Latte/Clean"
key once to end the process.
6. Dispose of any water left in the milk reservoir and place it back in the unit.
!
Note: To remove the milk reservoir, raise it and then pull it out.
Cleaning the brew head, the porta-filter and filter
1
Switch the power key on the side of the machine to "O", the off
position. Unplug the machine.
2
Some of the metal parts might still be hot. Do not touch them until
they have cooled.
3
Remove the porta-filter and discard the coffee grounds. Wash both the
porta-filter and filter with warm soapy water and rinse them well. Do
not wash the porta-filter or other filter in the dishwasher. These parts
of the machine are not dishwasher-safe.
4
Wipe down the lower portion of the brew head in the unit with a
damp cloth or paper towel to remove any coffee grounds that might remain.

Cleaning the water reservoir

Discard the remaining water by removing the reservoir and emptying it.
The reservoir should be emptied after each use. Wash the water reservoir
with soapy water, rinse it well and wipe it dry. The water reservoir is
dishwasher-safe.
!
Note: Drip plate and tray, Filter is dishwasher safe.

Cleaning the coffee machine

Wipe the housing with a soft, damp wet cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or scouring pads, as they will scratch the finish.
Do not store the porta-filter in the brew head. This can adversely affect
the seal between the brew head and the porta-filter while brewing
espresso.
!
CAUTION: Do not immerse the coffee machine in water.

Descaling

Mineral deposits that build up in the espresso maker will affect its
operation. Your coffee machine must be descaled when you begin to
notice an increase in the time required to brew espresso, or when there
is excessive steaming. You may also notice a build-up of calcium deposits
on the surface of the brew head.
The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of the water used.
Suggested cleaning intervals follow.

Suggested descaling frequency

Soft or filtered water – clean every 80 brew cycles
Hard or tap water – clean every 40 brew cycles
