sieve.
9. After about 20 seconds, return the reference lever
to the vertical position to stop the pump.

longer needed. The following steps can be performed with or
without the portafilter attached.
21. Set the water lever horizontally and after approx. 1 minute
vertically again.
↳ This flushes the heat exchanger through.
22. Repeat the following procedure at least five times until
clear, neutral-smelling water comes out of the hot water
outlet:
a. Switch off the machine when the operating temperature is
reached.
b. Place a receptacle under the hot water dispenser, open the
valve and close it again when no more water comes out.
