Mr. Coffee ECMP10 - Manual (Page 9)

IMPORTANT
Clean the steam nozzle and frothing attachment immediately after each use. Fill a
pitcher halfway with water and run the steaming feature again for about 20 seconds.
This will clean out the inside of the steaming tube. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the
exterior of the steaming tube and frother attachment. You may want to rinse the frother
attachment with warm soapy water. If the end of the steam tube becomes blocked with
dry milk, use a sewing needle or safety pin to clean out the small hole.
After using the steaming feature of your machine, the heating system is at its highest
temperature. If you wish to prepare more espresso immediately after steaming milk,
the heating system should be cooled down to keep from “burning’: your espresso.
Insert an empty filter into the filter holder, insert and secure the filter holder in the machine,
place a cup underneath the filter holder and turn the Control Dial to the brew position.
When the temperature ready light illimunates, turn the Control Dial back to “0.”
Your machine is now ready to brew espresso at the perfect temperature.

LEANING
When you are finished brewing espresso and steaming milk, begin cleaning by turning
the unit off and unplugging the power cord.
The filter handle and filters should be cleaned each time you brew espresso. To clean,
remove filter handle by turning the handle approximately 45 degrees left of center.
The filter handle will release down from its locked position. Use caution as the filter
may still contain hot water floating on top of the coffee grounds. Knock the used espresso
grounds out while holding the filter in place by holding the thumb guard lock firmly
against the filter cup. Use caution as the filter cup and holder will be very hot. Rinse the
filter cup and holder out thoroughly with water. It is not recommended to put the filters
or filter holder in the dish washer. However, they are top-rack, dishwasher safe. If you are
not going to use the machine again for some time, do not reinsert the filter holder on
the brew head; this will lengthen the service life of the filter seal.
Remove the Water Reservoir and empty out any remaining water. Do not wash the
Water Reservoir in the dishwasher.
Remove the Drip Tray and Overflow Grid from the machine and rinse with warm,
soapy water. Do not wash these parts in the dishwasher.
