• Then slightly 'correct' the taste by adding

Cleaning the Machine

- Never wash your espresso machine acces-
sories in the dishwasher.
After use, the water tank must be emptied.
. Drip tray
If several espressos are being prepared
one after the other, the drip tray should
be emptied from time to time (about once
every 7 - 8 espressos) (19). It is normal for
there to be water present; this does not
indicate that there is a leak, but that your
machine's thermoblock is being purged.
If necessary, clean the drip tray and drip
tray grid with water and a little non-abrasive
washing-up liquid, rinse and dry. Replace it
correctly (20).
. The brewing head, the filter and the filter
holder
These must be cleaned after each use. All
you need to do is wipe with a damp cloth
over the brewing head of your machine and
to wash the other accessories in water and
a little non-abrasive washing up liquid, rinse
and dry.
If the brewing head is heavily clogged up,
unscrew the grid, clean it and refit it, pres-
sing down firmly (21).
When your espresso machine is not
being used, do not leave the filter holder
on the machine as it will cause unneces-
sary wear of the gasket.
. The cup warming plate: remove this to
clean it with water and a little non-abrasive
dishwashing liquid, rinse and dry.
. The cappuccino accessory
For more thorough cleaning the auto cap-
puccino accessory can be dismantled from
the machine.
Clean it with water, a little non-abrasive
washing up liquid and a small brush. Rinse
and dry it.
Before putting it back in place, make sure
that the air inlet holes (on both sides of the
little metal tube) are not blocked by resi-
dues of milk. Unblock them with a needle if
necessary (22).
