However, a little scrubbing or a new dispersion screen can make a world of difference in the cup produced by your machine. The process of removing your dispersion screen and cleaning your machine is a simple one that we recommend once a week as a part of maintaining your machine and creating a quality cup of espresso. Below we will explore the removal of the different kinds of screens, cleaning, and reinstalling.<h3 id="replacing-the-gasket-and-screen"> Replacing the Gasket and Screen</h3>We recommend replacing the group gasket and screen yearly.

The element&apos;s resistance should be between 0.16 - 0.23. If there is no continuity through the element or one of the safety switches it is time to replace one of them.

You will want to keep tabs on the locations of all connection points, electrical or otherwise throughout this process! Photos are great references if you forget placements. 2) Remove the electrical connections from each of the safety switches on the boiler (Don&apos;t forget the one on the side). If you find it difficult to remove any of these connections, try using a flat head screwdriver to help ease it off. <img alt="1000003280" class="hs-image-align-none fr-fic fr-dii" height="917" src="https://4309359.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4309359/1000003280.jpg" style="width: 688px; height: auto;" width="688"> 3) Disconnect the wire attached to the temperature probe <img alt="1000003268" class="hs-image-align-none fr-fic fr-dii" height="810" src="https://4309359.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4309359/1000003268.jpg" style="height: auto; width: 608px;" width="608"> 4) Using a 14mm wrench, loosen the copper tube connections from the boiler. <img alt="1000003284" class="hs-image-align-none fr-fic fr-dii" height="917" src="https://4309359.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4309359/1000003284.jpg" style="height: auto; width: 688px;" width="688"> 4) Push tubing out of the way. Copper is a malleable metal, so it&apos;s okay to move it around (carefully). <img alt="1000003285" class="hs-image-align-none fr-fic fr-dii" height="917" src="https://4309359.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4309359/1000003285.jpg" style="height: auto; width: 688px;" width="688"> 5) Remove the foam insulation collar from around the body of the boiler. <img alt="1000003287" class="hs-image-align-none fr-fic fr-dii" height="917" src="https://4309359.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4309359/1000003287.jpg" style="height: auto; width: 688px;" width="688"> 6) Using the longer 3mm allen key, loosen all six allen screws mounting the top of the boiler to the group head, as noted. <img alt="1000003288" class="hs-image-align-none fr-fic fr-dii" height="917" src="https://4309359.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4309359/1000003288.jpg" style="height: auto; width: 688px;" width="688"> 7) Lift the boiler off of the group head, careful not to break the fill tube inside the boiler cavity. (There may still be a bit of water in here, so I would recommend keeping a towel close by) <img alt="1000003289" class="hs-image-align-none fr-fic fr-dii" height="917" src="https://4309359.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4309359/1000003289.jpg" style="height: auto; width: 688px;" width="688"> 8) Using the 17mm wrench, loosen and remove the nuts holding the element legs at the top of the boiler. (This may be easier to do if the temperature probe and the safety switch are removed) <img alt="1000003291" class="hs-image-align-none fr-fic fr-dii" height="917" src="https://4309359.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4309359/1000003291.jpg" style="height: auto; width: 688px;" width="688"> 9) Pull the element out of the boiler, and replace it with a new one, or simply clean both sides (group head and brew boiler) and replace the boiler gasket. If installing a new element, you will want to use a pair of pliers to add a slight bend to the legs (pictured). At this point you can put the boiler sleeve back on. <img alt="1000003298" class="hs-image-align-none fr-fic fr-dii" height="917" src="https://4309359.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4309359/1000003298.jpg" style="height: auto; width: 688px;" width="688"> <img alt="1000003297" class="hs-image-align-none fr-fic fr-dii" height="917" src="https://4309359.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4309359/1000003297.jpg" style="height: auto; width: 688px;" width="688"> <img alt="1000003294" class="hs-image-align-none fr-fic fr-dii" height="917" src="https://4309359.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4309359/1000003294.jpg" style="height: auto; width: 688px;" width="688"> <img alt="1000003296" class="hs-image-align-none fr-fic fr-dii" height="917" src="https://4309359.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4309359/1000003296.jpg" style="height: auto; width: 688px;" width="688"> 10) Follow these steps in reverse to reassemble. Replace the reservoir and turn your machine on to test while the panels are still off. If you have any questions or need further assistance, contact us at support@clivecoffee.com.
