The IMS screen shows its full potential only when you switch to a single-wall screen like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kaffaemacher.com\/products\/siebe-51mm\" title=\"KM 51mm Screen\"\u003eKM 51mm Screen\u003c\/a\u003e. With the original double-wall screens (\"crema screens\"), the flavor difference is minimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe membrane is sensitive by design. Clean the screen only with soft brushes or a cloth. Sharp objects will destroy the fine mesh immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation and Care:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is not rocket science, but it does require a bit of finesse:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLoosen Screw:\u003c\/b\u003e Turn the DeLonghi upside down or use a short angled screwdriver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBe Careful When Removing:\u003c\/b\u003e Often the old screen is stuck tight. A gentle lever with a spoon handle helps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eClean:\u003c\/b\u003e While you have the screen off, wipe out the brew group with a damp cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/b\u003e Insert the IMS screen and tighten the screw by hand. \u003cb\u003eDon't over-tighten!\u003c\/b\u003e If you tighten the screw too much, the screen will warp and water distribution will suffer again. \"Hand-tight\" is sufficient. Over-tightening can also damage the plastic threads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend a short flush (run through) after each shot to rinse out residue. Since backflushing is technically barely possible on the Dedica, you should unscrew the screen every two weeks and clean it in hot water with coffee oil cleaner. You'll see how much residue accumulates behind it despite daily rinsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Are There Small Notches Visible at the Edge of the Shower Screen?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe notches marked in the image at the edge are normal manufacturing byproducts on this shower screen.
