4. Wipe the stainless steel tube of the steam wand using a clean cloth moistened
with warm dishwater. Thereafter, wipe with clear water.
5. Hold the tip of the steam wand up to the light for ensuring that the nozzle is free
from milk residues. If required, carefully insert the coarse needle of the cleaning
tool into the nozzle for removing any obstacles.
6. Thoroughly rinse the steam wand tip with clear water and wipe dry the steam
wand. Screw the tip onto the stainless steel tube of the steam wand (only hand-
tight).
IMPORTANT - Do not use any tools for screwing on the steam wand tip.
7. Turn the steam wand to the drip tray or into a suited vessel filled with clear tap
water, while the steam wand is not in use.
FLUSHING THE FILTER BASKET AND PORTAFILTER
NOTE
You may clean the filter baskets in an automatic dishwasher. However, we advice
against doing this! The portafilter may NOT be cleaned in an automatic dish-
washer.
Via hot water, you should rinse the filter basket and portafilter immediately after each
use. Otherwise, residues of coffee powder and oils may clog the mesh or the small
outlet hole of the filter basket.
Thorough cleaning of the filter baskets should be performed regularly (every 2-3
months; see below).
1. Completely empty the filter basket after the extraction. Rinse the filter basket
under running tap water, thoroughly removing the residues of coffee powder.
2. Lock the portafilter with filter basket but without coffee powder at the group
head.
3. Press the 2 cups button and leave the appliance operate.
WARNING
hot water may be left within the filter basket.
4. When the extraction cycle is finished, carefully remove the portafilter and pour
out any residues of water, that may be left within the filter basket. Then, wipe
dry to avoid deposits of lime in the filter mesh.
