BACKFLUSHING METHOD FOR CLEAN MACHINE POWDER:
- Insert a blind filter into the group handle and add up to 1/2 a teaspoon of Clean Machine powder.
- Insert portafilter into the group head.
- Activate the brew cycle on the machine for approximately 10 seconds and then stop for 10 seconds. Repeat this 5 times.
- Remove the portafilter and rinse in a stream of running water from the group group. Stop the cycle.
- Insert the portafilter again into the group head and repeat Step 3 without the powder.
- Run 3-4 espresso shots through the group head of the machine to ensure that all residual chemical has been removed and the machine is ready for use.
TIPS:
- During Step 3, you may wish to loosen and re-tighten the portafilter several times to allow the cleaning mixture to work its way up and around the seals and filter screens.
- Use a group head brush afterwards while rinsing the group head to remove additional grinds that may be caught.
- For commercial applications, follow this backflushing method at the end of each day. Backflushing without powder should be carried out several times throughout the day, also.
- Remove screens from the group head on a weekly basis and soak using the Clean Machine powder.
- To soak group handles, add 1/2 a teaspooon of Clean Machine powder into a litre container of hot water and soak group group handles for 20-30 minutes. You can use milk jugs as the container to help clean the jugs as well. Rinse all components thoroughly in fresh water afterwards.
