CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the Espresso Machine

Keeping the Espresso Machine clean is vital to brewing the best espresso possible. You
might notice that your machine is taking longer to brew, or the brew head is spewing or
sputtering. These can be signs that it's time to clean your Espresso Machine. Stale coffee
oils on the portafilter, filter baskets, and shower screen will ruin the flavor of the most
expertly prepared coffee, and any milk left on the frothing arm should be removed for
best performance and taste.

Cleaning the frothing arm and nozzle

Turn off the Espresso Machine. Unplug
1
the Espresso Machine from the wall
outlet, or disconnect power. Let the
Espresso Machine, and any attached
parts or accessories, cool.
Wipe the frothing arm and nozzle with
3
a clean damp cloth. Do not use an
abrasive scouring pad.
The frothing arm and nozzle should
2
always be cleaned after milk is frothed.
Remove the frothing sleeve from the
frothing nozzle by pulling it downward.
The frothing sleeve can be washed in
warm, soapy water. Make sure any
openings in the sleeve are free of
residue.
