Giving care
towards your new Breville BES870XL is highly important. Indeed, this product
has high quality but without good care, your espresso machine will not be
durable anymore. Worse, you may have to repair it before the warranty period is
over. Since it is your own fault for not giving this Bes870XL care, you cannot
claim it. The easiest way to do this is by cleaning the parts of the machine,
and two of them are the shower steam wand and shower screen. To see how it is
done, let's see this following procedure.
How to Clean the Steam Wand of Breville Bes870XL
Once you
finish using this machine, make sure you clean up the steam wand. The process
to clean the steam wand of your Breville Barista Express 870XL is by wiping the
wand in the exterior side with the use of a damp cloth. This will get rid of
the milk residue entirely from the stainless steel. After it is already wiped,
its tip needs to be pointed upon the drip tray. Then, set the STEAM/HOT WATER
dial by turning it to STEAM for around ten seconds. Stick to the long period
for maximum result.
If you find
that the steam does not come out, it is likely that one of the holes are
clogged. When you are in this situation, your Breville Bes870XL has to be
turned off first and let it cool for a moment. Then, you can take the pin end
of cleaning tool. Use the pin to gently poke the respective tip holes of steam
wand.
Afterwards,
turn it on again and wait for a moment so it reaches brewing temperature.
Again, you have to set the dial to STEAM for around ten seconds. Make sure the
holes are not blocked. If they are blocked, utilize the opening to get rid of
the steam wand tip.
The last
process of cleaning the steam wand of your Breville Bes870XL is by soaking the
top with hot water for around ten minutes. Get the pin to replace the tip you
find on the steam wand. After it is all done, you need to run the steam for ten
seconds again.
How to Clean the Shower Screen
Shower
screen is also important part to clean up. Make sure you prepare a damp cloth
right after you finish using this Breville Barista Express to get rid of the
particles of ground coffee. Sometimes, these particles may be difficult to get
rid of and instead of going away, they even build up on the shower screen of
Breville Bes870XL again. You can utilize the Allen Key to cancel the screw in
the center of shower screen.
Don't use
dishwasher to clean it up. Instead, you have to soak the shower screen with hot
water for around twenty minutes. You can utilize dishwashing liquid in mild
level to wash it clean. Rinse and dry again thoroughly and get it backed to the
group head.
Those are
the procedures to clean the steam hand and shower screen of Breville Bes870XL.
Ensure that you follow those instructions carefully for optimum result.
