The KitchenAid® PRO LINETM Series Espresso Machine blends commercial quality with innovative design to bring a new experience of espresso into the home. Dual boilers generate an optimal brewing temperature and abundant steam for frothing without the wait single-boiler machines require when switching tasks. The commercial-size brew group is chrome-plated brass for exceptional temperature stability, and the self-priming water pump easily supplies the 9 bars of pressure perfect espresso demands. [. . . ] Wash the shower screen in warm, soapy water, and rinse with clean water. Place the shower screen into the brew head with the smooth side facing down, and attach with the shower screen screw. NOTE: When the shower screen is attached, the center screw should be flush with the surface of the screen. If it is not, remove the screen, turn it over, and re-attach. Cleaning the Shower Screen Once every 75 to 100 shots of espresso, the shower screen should be removed from the brew head to clean thoroughly. 24 Priming After Long Periods of Non-Use For the best tasting espresso, prime the espresso machine with fresh water after a long period of non-use. Priming will also ensure that the boilers are filled and the espresso machine is ready to operate. Remove the reservoir, empty any stale water, replace, and fill the reservoir with fresh water to the max fill line. For instructions, see "Fill and Rinse the Boilers" on page 13. 4. It is not necessary for the boilers to heat before proceeding to the next step. Press the Espresso Button and dispense cleaning agent through brew head for 15 seconds; press the Espresso Button again to shut off. Open the Steam Dial by turning it counterclockwise, then press and hold the Hot Water Button for 15 seconds to dispense cleaning agent through the frothing arm and nozzle. Every 20 minutes, keep repeating steps 4­7 until nearly all the solution in the reservoir has been run through the espresso machine. Remove the water reservoir and rinse with fresh water, then replace and fill with fresh water to the max fill line. Press the On/Off Power Switch to turn the espresso machine on, and flush the espresso machine by quickly dispensing the contents of the reservoir, alternating between the brew head and frothing arm. See "Cleaning the Shower Screen" on page 24 for instructions. 25 Calcium deposits ("scale") from water will build up in the espresso machine over time and may impair espresso quality. Scale should be removed every four months; local hard-water conditions may require more frequent descalings. Use a packaged descaling agent or appropriate decalcification tablets to remove scale. See "Cleaning the Shower Screen" on page 24 for instructions. Following the directions on the descaling agent packet, mix the descaling solution and add it to the reservoir. To catch the cleaning solution, place a large cup under the brew head (do not attach the portafilter), and another under the frothing nozzle.
