Important
After frothing the milk, refill the boiler with water.
Slightly open the steam/ hot water valve by turning it anticlockwise and move the pump/ hot water switch into the
upper position. You will hear a pump sound. Now the machine fills the boiler with water. Release the steam and the
hot water into a large container. Dispense steam and hot water. Then close the valve and switch off the pump/ hot
water switch by moving it into the lower position.
This way, you can reduce the boiler temperature and you can restart coffee preparation.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

A regular and accurate care is very important for the performance, the longevity and the safety of your machine.
Caution!
Always switch off the machine (power switch in lower position), disconnect the power cord and let the
machine cool down to room temperature (for at least 30 minutes) before cleaning.

7.1 General cleaning

Daily cleaning:
Portafilter, filters, water tank, drip tray, drip plate of the drip tray, measuring-spoon and tamper require daily
cleaning. Clean with warm water and/or a food safe detergent .
Clean the shower screen and the group gasket in the lower part of the group and remove visible dirt without
disassembling the parts.
Cleaning as necessary:
Clean the steam/ hot water valve after every use.
Clean the body when the machine is switched off and cold.
Depending on usage, please refresh the boiler water every 2 – 3 weeks by operating the pump switch and extracting
about 0.8L of hot water from the steam wand.
Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.
Never use abrasive or chloric detergents!
Empty the water drip tray regularly and do not wait until it is full.

7.2 Brew group cleaning and degreasing

A brew group cleaner (in powder or tablet form) is available at your specialised dealer. With this detergent, you can
clean and degrease the group very easily. The cleaning is carried out using the blind filter included in delivery. The
group cleaning with our tablets can be carried out after approx. 150 cups.
Follow the instructions as noted below:
1 Heat up the machine.
2 Put the blind filter into the portafilter.
3 Pour ½ spoon of detergent into the blind filter or put a tablet into the portafilter.
4 Place the portafilter in the group head.
5 Operate the group lever. The blind filter will fill with water.
6 Let the detergent react, moving the group lever into the middle position. (Do not move it into the lower position.)
7 Move the lever into the lower position after approx. 40 seconds. This way, the fats and oils can be discharged by
the infusion cylinder.
8 Repeat points 5-7 several times, until only clear water is discharged by the infusion cylinder.
9 Rinse the portafilter and the blind filter with fresh water. Then replace it.
10 Operate the group lever for approx. one minute. Then move it back into the lower position.
11 Remove the portafilter and repeat point 10. After this, the brew group is ready for use.
