Care And Cleaning; Drip Tray; The Brewing Head, Filters & Filter Handle - Russell Hobbs RH1915 User Manual

CARE AND CLEANING

The coffee making process involves extracting oils out of ground coffee to make
espresso coffee. Deposits of these oils build up over time and affect the taste of the
coffee and operation of the espresso machine.
Regular cleaning to remove these oils is essential for espresso machines to keep
operating effectively. Flushing water, through the brewing head and the steam nozzle, is
the easiest way to keep your machine clean after making each coffee and at the end of
your coffee making session.
Important:
Never wash your espresso machine accessories in the dishwasher.

Drip Tray:

Remove the grid and drip tray at regular intervals to empty (37). Clean the drip tray and
its grid with water and a little non-abrasive washing up liquid, rinse and dry.
Over a period of time it is normal for the inside of the drip tray to be stained by the oils in
the coffee.
The brewing head, filters & filter handle :
The filter and filter handle should be washed after each use by rinsing them under warm
water. Wash at regular intervals in warm soapy water using a mild detergent. To clean
the brewing head, flush water through and wipe the head around the inside rim with a
damp cloth. To assist in keeping the filter and the brew head clean, at the end of each
coffee making session we recommend you run the machine, with the filter in place,
without coffee – using water only. Should the holes in the filters become clogged with
coffee granules use a fine bristled brush to remove them.
