Cleaning the KRUPS XP1020 Steam Espresso Machine is important to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the appliance. Here are the steps to clean the machine:
1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely before cleaning.
2. Wipe the outside of the machine with a damp cloth regularly.
3. Clean the drip tray and its grid regularly by washing and drying them.
4. Do not use alcohol-based or abrasive cleaning products or solvents.
5. Clean the grid through which hot water passes with a damp sponge.
6. Do not use soap or other cleaning agents on the appliance as it may impact the taste of your beverages.
7. Clean the steam nozzle each time after immersing it in milk by rinsing it with a moist sponge.
8. If the steam nozzle becomes clogged, remove the plastic housing of the cappuccino nozzle when the appliance is cold. Unscrew the tip of the steam nozzle and remove any milk particles using a sewing needle. Rinse the nozzle under the faucet and wipe the outside with a wet cloth.
9. To descale the espresso side of the machine, remove the brewing sieve on the brewing head and clean it. Dissolve a packet of KRUPS descaling solution in 10 oz/300 ml of lukewarm water and pour it into the boiler container. Open the steam valve and turn on the appliance, allowing the descaling solution to run out of the espresso outlet and the steam nozzle. Repeat this process once again. Finally, run 2 boiler containers of clear water through the system to rinse it. Allow the appliance to cool down before reassembling the brewing sieve and the plastic housing of the cappuccino nozzle.
Please refer to the instruction manual for more detailed cleaning instructions and safety precautions.
