Steam Wand with nesteam©
Hot Water Spout and Coffee Spout
The steam wand is movable and has a hard plastic handle for handling
when it is hot.
The PEEK steam wand material dramatically lowers the wand’s surface
temperature. Unlike standard stainless steel wands, milk doesn’t bake
onto the wand. Milk residue easily wipes clean, even later on after steam-
ing. The PEEK steam wand is also much safer to touch right after steam-
ing.
Steam wand with proprietary air injection and auto shut-off guarantees
consistent milk texture and temperature while allowing users the freedom
to multitask.
Cleaning Tablet Funnel
The cleaning tablet funnel is located between the two bean hoppers.
Only Schaerer Cleaning Tablets should be dropped into this funnel dur-
ing the daily cleaning procedure. Refer to pages 19-20 for daily cleaning
instructions.
Use only Schaerer Cleaning Tablets (Item # 65221) for the
daily cleaning procedure. Refer to page 11 for reordering
cleaning tablets.
The hot water outlet is used for pre-heating ceramic cups and quick
rinsing of utensils.
The coffee spout can accommodate tall cups.

Grounds Bin
The grounds bin is located below the coffee spout. It holds the used
grounds which are disposed of after each espresso shot is brewed.
The bin slides straight out from the machine and must be emptied
periodically or when prompted on the display.
The drip tray is connected to a exible hose which should be connected
to a xed drain line. The purpose of this ‘basin’ is to funnel any spilled
liquids down the drain. To prevent blockage, we recommend that you
avoid ushing large quantities of milk and/or used coffee grounds down
the drain.
The drip tray grill is removable for easy cleaning and access to the
inside of the drip tray.

For use by manufacturer authorized service agent.
