HOW THE SPRING CLEAN™ WORKS

THE SPRING CLEAN™ WAS INVENTED AND DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE BACKFLUSH PROCESS BY GENERATING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE WATER FLOW BACK THROUGH THE BREW LINES AND THE 3-WAY SOLENOID VALVE OF 58MM PORTAFILTER COMMERCIAL ESPRESSO MACHINES. BY USING MORE WATER, THE RESULT IS A CLEANER AND BETTER FUNCTIONING MACHINE. CAN ALSO BE USED BETWEEN SHOTS WHILE CHANGING BEAN TYPES TO PREVENT ANY LINE CONTAMINATION THAT MAY AFFECT FLAVOR.

A CLEANER MACHINE IS A BETTER MACHINE.

WARNING: HOT WATER WILL COME OUT HERE.

THE BASICS

1. ATTACH TO GROUP HEAD

STEP 1
ATTACH SPRING CLEAN TO GROUP HEAD THE SAME WAY YOU WOULD ATTACH A PORTAFILTER. TWIST FIRMLY INTO PLACE TO ENSURE A GOOD SEAL ON THE GASKET. THE RETAINING TABS ARE PLASTIC SO DON’T USE EXCESSIVE FORCE. IF YOU ARE USING DETERGENT, PLACE IT ON TOP OF THE PISTON AT THIS TIME.

1. HOT WATER
2. POINT RELIEF VALVE INTO BACK OF DRIP TRAY

STEP 2
START MACHINE PUMP. WATER WILL FILL THE CHAMBER UNTIL IT SPRAYS OUT OF THE RELIEF PORT. STOP PUMP AND ALLOW THE BACKFLUSH TO BEGIN. IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL SECONDS TO COMPLETE. WAIT ANOTHER 10 SECONDS AND MAKE SURE THE MACHINE PRESSURE IS AT 0. USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING SPRING CLEAN — YOU MAY WISH TO USE A RUBBER DISHWASHING GLOVE TO PROTECT HANDS.
