  • Detach the upper half of the boiler. Pay attention to the cables and hoses.
  • Now you can also lift out the bottom part of the boiler completely. Make sure that the holder of the portafilter rests on four nuts.
  • Now is also a good time to check and possibly replace the portafilter seals and the brew screen. Coat the seals with food-grade silicone grease.
