MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Daily
1. Back flush each brew group without detergent throughout the day.
2. Back flush with an espresso industry approved detergent during the final cleaning of the night
(or after a busy period), and then again without detergent to rinse.
2. Wipe down the entire machine with a soft cloth.
3. Remove portafilters, baskets and springs, drip tray and grates and clean thoroughly. These
items are all dishwasher safe.
4. Slowly pour a pitcher of hot water down the drain to clear grounds debris and prevent
blockage.
Weekly
1. Soak portafilters and the removed filter baskets in an approved espresso industry detergent
and water solution overnight. Rinse thoroughly before reassembling and using your
portafilters.
2. Carefully remove screens from each brew group using a short handled screwdriver and soak
overnight in a similar solution as the portafilters.
3. Rinse screens thoroughly before installing and using. Make sure you install the screens
before brewing any shots of espresso. Failure to do so may plug the drain lines
with coffee grounds.
Monthly
1. Check your water filtration system and make sure the cartridges and filters are changed as
needed. In areas of high mineral content, hard water, high particulate count or in very
busy locations, the filtration systems will need to be checked more often.
Quarterly
1. Change portafilter gaskets and closely inspect diffuser screens and filter baskets, If these
items are showing wear, please replace them as soon as possible. Change these items if they
show damage or overuse.
2. Briefly inspect the machine for leaks or potential issues. Contact Synesso™or your local
distributor or service agent to order parts and/or request service.
Synesso™ recommends that you contact your distributor or service agent for periodic maintenance.
The frequency of maintenance visits will depend on a variety of factors including how much use the
machine receives, but at least one preventative maintenance visit a year is required. During this
yearly service, all body panels must be removed and all connections both electrical and hydraulic
must be inspected. Small problems can become large if not caught early.
