Configuration et installation
Before beginning, ensure your Bialetti Orzo Express coffee maker is completely cool and empty. You will need to remove the old gasket and filter before installing the new ones.
- Disassemble the Coffee Maker: Unscrew the upper chamber from the lower chamber. Remove the funnel (filter basket).
- Remove Old Gasket and Filter: Inside the upper chamber, locate the old rubber gasket and the metal filter plate. Use a small, blunt tool (like a spoon handle or a butter knife) to carefully pry out the old gasket. The filter plate will likely come out with it or can be easily removed once the gasket is out. Dispose of the old parts.
- Nettoyer la zone des sièges : Thoroughly clean the rim and groove where the gasket sits in the upper chamber. Ensure there are no coffee grounds or residue that could prevent a proper seal.
- Installer un nouveau filtre : Place the new metal filter plate into the upper chamber, ensuring it sits flat against the internal ledge.
- Installer un nouveau joint : Carefully press a new rubber gasket into the groove above the filter plate. Ensure it is seated evenly and completely around the rim, creating a tight seal. Do not force it, as this could damage the gasket.
- Remonter: Reassemble your coffee maker by placing the funnel back into the lower chamber and screwing the upper chamber onto the lower chamber. Ensure it is tightened securely but not excessively.
Note: It is recommended to perform a test brew with just water after replacing the gasket and filter to ensure there are no leaks and the parts are correctly seated.
Operating Your Coffee Maker (with new parts)
This kit provides replacement components for your Bialetti Orzo Express coffee maker. For detailed instructions on how to operate your coffee maker, including filling with water and coffee, heating, and serving, please refer to the original instruction manual provided with your Bialetti Orzo Express coffee maker. The new gasket and filter ensure optimal performance as described in that manual.
Entretien
Proper maintenance of your gasket and filter will extend their lifespan and ensure the best coffee experience.
- Nettoyage régulier : After each use, disassemble the upper chamber, remove the filter and gasket, and rinse them thoroughly under warm water. Use a soft brush or sponge to remove any coffee residue.
- Séchage: Allow the gasket and filter to air dry completely before reassembling the coffee maker or storing them. This prevents mold growth and preserves the rubber's integrity.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the gasket for signs of wear, cracking, hardening, or discoloration. Inspect the filter for blockages or damage.
- Fréquence de remplacement : Gaskets and filters are consumable parts. It is recommended to replace the gasket every 3-6 months, or sooner if you notice leaks, reduced pressure, or a change in coffee taste. The filter should be replaced if it becomes damaged or permanently clogged.
Dépannage
If you encounter issues after replacing the gasket and filter, consider the following:
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaking from the joint between upper and lower chambers. | Gasket not seated correctly, gasket damaged, or chambers not tightened sufficiently. | Disassemble, re-seat the gasket, ensure it's flat and clean. Tighten chambers firmly. If problem persists, replace gasket. |
| Coffee not brewing or very slow extraction. | Filter clogged, coffee grounds too fine, or too much coffee in the funnel. | Clean the filter thoroughly. Use a coarser grind of coffee. Do not overfill the funnel. |
| Metallic or unusual taste in coffee. | New parts not thoroughly rinsed, or residue from manufacturing. | Perform several test brews with just water to flush out any residues. Ensure all parts are clean. |
