CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
HOW TO CLEAN THE PORTAFILTER AND BREW HEAD
NOTE: This method of cleaning is useful if you make espresso only. If you make
cappuccino or latte or use the milk frothing tube separately, you can clean both the brew
head, portafilter, and frothing tube all at the same time following the directions on p. 21.
1.
Before cleaning, turn off the unit and unplug it. Some of the metal parts might still be
hot. Do not touch them with your hands until they have cooled.
2. If not already out, remove the portafilter and discard the used coffee grounds. To hold
the basket in place while emptying grounds, flip up the portafilter basket retention clip
and hold it down with your thumb as you empty the basket. If a Nespresso
was used, remove the holder from the portafilter and dispose of the capsule.
3. Rinse the basket or capsule holder and portafilter with warm, soapy water; rinse well.
4. Wipe the underside of the brew head with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any
stray coffee grounds.
