Periodic Maintenance
Maintenance Schedule
Daily
1.Back-ush each brew group a few times, without detergent.
2.Wipe down the entire machine.
3.Remove portalters, baskets and springs, drip tray and grates, cup tray grates and
clean thoroughly. These items are all dishwasher safe.
4.Slowly pour a pitcher of hot water down the drain.
Weekly
1.Back-ush each brew group using an espresso industry approved detergent.
2.Soak portalters and the removed lter baskets in an approved espresso industry
detergent and water solution overnight.
3.Rinse thoroughly before reassembling and using your portalters.
4.Carefully remove screens from each brew group using a short handled screwdriver
and soak in a similar solution as the portalters.
5.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. Do NOT over-tighten the screws. Gently turn them until they are
snug, but not past that point.
Monthly
1.Check your water ltration system and make sure the cartridges and lters are
changed as needed. In areas of high mineral content, hard water, high particulate
count or in very busy locations – the ltration systems will need to be checked more
often.
Quarterly
1.Change portalter gaskets, closely inspect diffuser screens and lter baskets –
change if showing wear. Call an authorized repair representative to perform routine
maintenance.
2.Check legal policies that may prohibit you from completing the next step before
continuing further. (Australain operators most not open the electronics box).
Please disconnect machine from the power supply; Check inside the
electronics box and gently remove any build up of dust or debris by using a soft
brush and vacuum. It is also important to keep dust and debris out of the vented
ends of your pump motor. Lack of airow will shorten the life of the motor.
Important: Machine service and repair procedures must be performed by authorized service
personnel.
