CARE & CLEANING
CLEANING THE STEAM WAND
• The steam wand should always be
cleaned after texturing milk. Wipe the
steam wand with a damp cloth. Then
with the steam wand tip directed over
the drip tray, briefly set the STEAM/
HOT WATER dial to the STEAM
position. This will clear any remaining
milk from inside the steam wand.
• If any of the holes in the tip of the
steam wand become blocked, ensure
the STEAM/HOT WATER dial is in the
STANDBY position. Press the POWER
button to switch the machine off and
allow to cool. Use the pin on the end of
the provided cleaning tool to unblock
the hole(s).
• If the steam wand remains blocked,
remove the tip using the integrated
spanner in the cleaning tool and soak
in hot water. Use the pin on the end of
the provided cleaning tool to unblock
the hole(s) before re-attaching to the
steam wand.
CLEANING THE FILTER BASKETS
AND PORTAFILTER
• The filter baskets and portafilter
should be rinsed under hot water

residual coffee oils.
• If any of the holes in the filter basket
become blocked, use the pin on the
end of the provided cleaning tool to
unblock the hole(s).
• If the hole(s) remain blocked, dissolve
a cleaning tablet in hot water and
soak filter basket and portafilter in
solution for approx. 20 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly.
CLEANING THE SHOWER SCREEN
• The group head interior and shower
screen should be wiped with a damp
cloth to remove any ground coffee

empty filter basket and portfilter into the

button and run a short flow of water to
