Maintenance

How to look after your Adele

An E61 dual boiler machine is backflushed daily with water and weekly with cleaning detergent, and the group gasket is replaced about once a year. The brew boiler holds the right temperature via PID, so there is no need for a cooling flush. Here is the schedule and the products we recommend.

Good to know about the Tower Adele

Switch from tank to plumbed-in water in the menu

Select Options > Settings > Water inlet and set it to RETE (mains). Connect the hose to the mains water supply; the pump pressure is then adjusted as described in the manual.

Use soft water

Torre specifies a water hardness of 7–14 °dH and recommends a water filter or water softener if needed, as limescale can seriously damage the machine.

Backflush every day

Put the blind basket in the portafilter, lock it in and run for 4–5 seconds. Repeat a few times if needed.

  1. Every day
    • Purge and wipe the steam wand after every use
    • Backflush with water and a blind basket
    • Rinse the portafilter and basket, empty the drip tray
  2. Every week
    • Backflush with Cafetto EVO
    • Soak the portafilters and baskets
    • Steam tip in milk system cleaner
    • Brush the group gasket
  3. Every month
    • Wash the water tank
    • Change the water in the brew boiler and steam boiler as described in the manual
    • Soak the shower screen and dispersion plate
  4. Every 6–12 months
    • Replace the group gasket and shower screen
    • Lubricate the cam
    • Replace the tank filter (every 2–3 months)
    • Replace the cartridge if plumbed in (according to capacity)

Water and filters

The right water protects your machine

Heat exchanger and dual boiler machines with an E61 group should not normally be descaled with chemicals, and Rocket among others advises against descaling them yourself. Protect the boilers with the right water from the start: measure the hardness and use a filter in the tank, or BWT Bestmax if the machine is plumbed in.
The target is 2–4 °dH. Do not use distilled water; the machine needs minerals for the level sensor to work.
0 °dH2–4 °dH recommended15 °dH

Can be plumbed in

Your Adele has a rotary pump and can be connected directly to the mains water supply. We recommend BWT Bestmax with an installation kit.
