Cleaning and Maintenance Before cleaning, turn off the espresso maker and remove the plug from the outlet. Do not clean the unit when it is hot. Never immerse the base unit in water or any other liquid or place unit under running water.
Clean the body of the espresso maker and warming plate with a damp cloth or sponge and dry before storing.
Rinse the stainless-steel filters and portafilter holder under water immediately after use. The cleaning pin may also help to remove all coffee particles.
To rinse out any lingering coffee particles, periodically run water through the machine with the portafilter holder in place, but without any ground coffee.
Wipe the inside of the brew head with a damp cloth removing any coffee particles.
Remove the grate, then the drip tray. Clean the tray with a soft, damp cloth or in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
The steam wand should be cleaned after every milk steaming. Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth, then direct the steam wand back over the drip tray and momentarily set the function knob to the hot water setting. This releases any remaining milk from inside the steam wand.
Be sure the function knob is in the "off" position, press the power button off and unplug the machine to cool.
If the steam wand remains blocked, use a cleaning pin to clear the opening.
Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the espresso maker.
