REPLACING THE SILICONE SEAL
Over time, the silicone seal surrounding the
shower screen will need to be replaced to
ensure optimum brewing performance.
1. Press the POWER button to switch the
machine off and unplug the cord from the
power outlet.
2. Carefully remove the water tank and drip
tray, taking particular care if they are full.
3. Using a skewer or similar, clean the centre
of the screw of any residual coffee.
4. Insert a flat head screwdriver into the centre
of the screw. Turn counter-clockwise to
loosen the screw.
Clean centre of screw
before inserting screwdriver.
5. Once loosened, carefully remove and retain
the screw and the stainless steel shower
screen. Make note of the side of the shower
screen that is downwards. This will make
re-assembly easier. Wash the shower screen
in warm soapy water, then dry thoroughly.
6. Remove the silicone seal with your fingers
or a pair of long-nose pliers. Insert the new
seal, flat side first, so the ribbed side is
facing you.
7. Re-insert the shower screen, then the screw.
With your fingers, turn the screw clockwise
for 2-3 revolutions then insert flat head
screwdriver to tighten until the screw is
flush with the shower screen. Do not over-
tighten screw.
8. Re-insert the drip tray and water tank.
