Maintenance Schedule
Daily
1.Back-flush each brew group a few times, without detergent.
2.Wipe down the entire machine.
3.Remove portafilters, baskets and springs, drip tray and grates, cup tray grates and
clean thoroughly. These items are all dishwasher safe.
4.Slowly pour a pitcher of hot water down the drain.
Weekly
1.Back-flush each brew group using an espresso industry approved detergent.
2.Soak portafilters and the removed filter baskets in an approved espresso industry
detergent and water solution overnight.
3.Rinse thoroughly before reassembling and using your portafilters.
4.Carefully remove screens from each brew group using a short handled screwdriver
and soak in a similar solution as the portafilters.
5.Rinse screens thoroughly before installing and using. Make sure you install the
screens before brewing any shots of espresso. Failure to do so may plug the drain
lines with coffee grounds. Do NOT over-tighten the screws. Gently turn them until they are
snug, but not past that point.
Monthly
1.Check your water filtration system and make sure the cartridges and filters are
changed as needed. In areas of high mineral content, hard water, high particulate
count or in very busy locations – the filtration systems will need to be checked more
often.
Quarterly
1.Change portafilter gaskets, closely inspect diffuser screens and filter baskets –
change if showing wear. Call an authorized repair representative to perform routine
maintenance.
2.Check legal policies that may prohibit you from completing the next step before
continuing further. (Australain operators most not open the electronics box).
Please disconnect machine from the power supply; Check inside the
electronics box and gently remove any build up of dust or debris by using a soft
brush and vacuum. It is also important to keep dust and debris out of the vented
ends of your pump motor. Lack of airflow will shorten the life of the motor.
Important: Machine service and repair procedures must be performed by authorized service
personnel.
