7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

To ensure that your Espressione Espresso Machine works for many years, we advise you to perform
regular maintenance.
Important
- Before any cleaning, disconnect the machine's power cord and ensure that the
machine is cold.
- None of the machine's parts can be put in the dishwasher.
Regular cleaning of filters and filter holder
After each use, clean the filter and the filter holder under warm water.
Regularly check that the sieves at the bottom of the filters are not blocked. If necessary, use a fine
needle (not supplied) to unblock the holes. You can also wipe the upper surface of the sieves using a
synthetic brush and run the filters under warm water to remove any dirt.
Clean the filters thoroughly
If you notice a problem dispensing coffee, it may be that the filter is blocked. In this case, clean thoroughly:
Using a cross recess unscrew the central screw.
Remove the stainless steel sieve.(fig.9) .
Clean all the parts in warm water.
Hold to the light to check that there is no residue blocking the holes. If so, clean more thoroughly taking
care to remove any particles using a synthetic brush or a fine needle.
Important
Ensure that the different parts are dry before assembling:
place the sieve in the filter and tighten the screw.
Cleaning the Group head
The base of the group head must be cleaned regularly using a non-abrasive cloth soaked in water. This is
to remove all remaining coffee grounds from the sieve and in the filter holder housing system .
Residual coffee grounds can also get blocked in the group head's peripheral cylinder. In this case, this
can be removed using a small fine object which is not pointed or a toothpick.
IMPORTANT
You are advised to operate your machine regularly with the filter holder in place but without coffee,
to remove any coffee remains.
Cleaning the adjustable spout and frothing nozzle
It is highy recommended that you clean the spout and frothing nozzle after each time you froth milk.
Important
Ensure that the spout and its nozzle have cooled down before performing any
maintenance.
Remove the frothing nozzle from the spout by turning it fully then pull the part to release (fig.9) .
Dip the frothing nozzle in very hot water to ensure that any milk residue is completely removed.
IMPORTANT
If any of the milk froth has dried up around the frothing nozzle, dip it in a container of water overnight
to soften the residue.
