How to clean and maintain my Philips Espresso Machine

The brew group needs a weekly and monthly maintenance. Our instructional video below explains how to do this.

• Weekly cleaning: Rinse the machine's brew group using lukewarm water  
• Monthly cleaning: Use the Coffee oil remover tablets CA6704 to remove oil from the filter on the brew group

It is important to lubricate the brew group frequently, so that the mechanical parts in your espresso machine continue to move easily.
Lubricate the brew group every 2 months.

1. Apply a thin layer of grease on the piston of the brew group
2. Apply a thin layer of grease around the shaft located on the bottom of the brew group
3. Apply a thin layer of grease to the rails on both sides.
