iii. Cleaning the Filter Baskets


After using the machine, allow it to cool down. Unlock the portafilter from the machine and empty out the used grinds into the sink. Rinse the portafilter and filter basket under the sink and dry well. If your filter baskets seem clogged, we suggest using a tiny needle every so often to help pop out any grinds that may get caught in the filter basket holes.

8. Descaling the machine


The first indications that descaling is required are a large amount of steam being produced and slower brewing of the espresso. The machine indicates at regular intervals that it needs to be descaled. When the yellow control lamp is lit, a descaling process should be performed. The control lamp goes out as soon as a cleaning or descaling process has been performed.


Limescale deposits have an adverse effect not only on the quality of the espresso and the water, but they also cause power losses and shorten the lifespan of the machine. The thicker a limescale layer is, the more difficult it is to remove.


We therefore recommend regularly removing limescale deposits with a descaling agent in accordance with the water quality in your area and how often the machine is used (approx. every 2 – 6 weeks).
