Cleaning the KW200 filter holder and portafilter

The 1-cup filter holder in the KW200 must be cleaned every 50 servings, while the 2-cup filter holder must be cleaned every 40 servings.

Remove the portafilter from the brew head.
Dismantle the portafilter to separate the filter holder.
Soak the filter holder in hot water with a few drops of Kawomator-compatible filter cleaning fluid.
Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior and interior of the portafilter and the brew head.
Use a small brush to clean the interior of each of the outlets of the portafilter.
Wipe the filter holder and re-assemble the portafilter.
Run water through the KW200 with an empty portafilter connected to the brew head to rinse out any residual filter-cleaning fluid.
The empty portafilter should contain the filter holder but no ground coffee.
