Use and Care Manual

CARE SHEET
Like a car, your espresso machine is an investment whose performance and longevity depend on proper care and
operation. To help ensure that you get the most out of your machine, we have outlined several key maintenance
procedures that will help to keep it brewing and steaming properly. The following information applies to most of
our Super-Automatic espresso machines, unless indicated otherwise.
Brew Group Chamber Cleaning:
Because Super-Automatic machines grind, tamp, brew, and dispose of grounds internally, over time, water and
ground coee collect in the drip tray and dreg drawer and will need to be disposed of. While Gaggia Super-Auto-
matic machines feature maintenance alerts to inform you when they need to be emptied, it’s a good habit to empty
your machine’s drip tray and dreg drawer after each use. Additionally, coee from the grinder may be thrown into
the brew group chamber, which should be wiped out on a regular basis.
Brew Group Cleaning and Lubrication:
1. Remove the brew unit from the machine.
2. Thoroughly clean the brew unit with dish soap and warm water by hand. Remove as much of the old lubricant
as is possible. Do not place the brew unit in the dishwasher, as hot water can cause the brew unit to warp.
3. The center of the brew unit is the part that cycles when the machine is brewing coee or performing a rinse
cycle. The brew unit pictured below has been taken apart and the small channels where lubricant needs to be
applied are highlighted in red.
4. You do not need to disassemble the brew unit in order to properly lubricate it. You can use your nger or a small
brush to generously apply the lubricant to these channels.
5. After applying lubricant to these channels, you can return the brew unit to your espresso machine.
6. Your brew unit is now properly lubricated.
