be hot. We recommend allowing the
equipment to fully cool before performing
any maintenance procedures.
1) Regular cleaning procedures
Regular cleaning procedures are important
to both the longevity of the equipment
and to the quality of the beverages which
it produces. Following these procedures
will help ensure long life and great tasting
beverages.
2) Back flushing
Back flushing must be performed on a
regular basis to ensure the proper function
and cleanliness of the espresso system.
We recommend following this procedure
on a nightly basis.
• Put one scoop of detergent Puro Caff into
a blind filter, and insert it into the group to
be cleaned. (Use the amount of detergent
recommended on the package)
• Activate the cleaning cycle by toggling
the handle 3-times in short succession.
The toggle motion is the same as used in
the rinsing cycle.
• The tap screen will display "Clean" and
start counting down from 99. During this
time it will automatically cycle the pump
on and off per a typical cleaning cycle.
• When finished, run a steady stream of
water through the brewhead.
• Re-insert the the blind filter and run
16
the automatic cleaning cycle once more,
this time removing the filter during the
pauses, dumpling water from the filter and
re-inserting the filter before the cycle re-
engages the flow of water. (If water begins
to flow before you have a chance to insert
the filter, wait until the cycle pauses again
to avoid the risk of being splashed and
burned by hot water)
• Discard the first shot of espresso before
resuming normal service to "season" the
brew head.
3) Cleaning Filters
• Put 2 or 3 teaspoons of detergent powder
Puro Caff for coffee machines in about
1/2 a liter of water inside a heat-resistant
container and boil.
• Dip spray head(s) in the boiled solution
and leave them fully submerged for about
30 minutes.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water and
run hot water through the dispenser
several times with the tips in place.
• Make one cup of coffee and discard in
order to remove any unpleasant flavor.
• Rinse the group using a normal filter, by
running hot water through it several times.
4) Cleaning the diffuser screen
Over time, coffee grounds may slowly
build up on and obstruct the diffuser
screen. To clean it, you must first remove
it by unscrewing the diffuser screw with a
flat screwdriver.
• Put 2 or 3 teaspoons of detergent powder
Puro Caff for coffee machines in about
1/2 a liter of water inside a heat-resistant
container and boil.
• Place diffuser screen(s) and diffuser
screw(s) in the solution and leave them
fully submerged for about 30 minutes.
• Install and run hot water through each
group several times with the screen
installed.
5) Cleaning the exterior of the equipment
The exterior of the taps and modules
should
be
periodically
cleaned.
recommend wiping the equipment with
a damp microfiber cloth. Do not use
cleaning solutions containing strong acids
or caustic solutions. Take care not to use
excessive liquid when cleaning around
electronics, so as not to damage them.
6) Water Filtration/Softener
It is very important that the media for
your water filtration is replaced on a
regular basis, in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations. Please
refer to the documentation for your
filtration system for proper operating and
cleaning instructions.
