Bezzera DUO DE: Vacuum Breaker Inspection

If your machine is making a hissing noise, or struggling to maintain steam pressure, check your vacuum breaker

You'll need:

- 17mm socket or crescent wrench

- needle nose pliers

 

First, remove the top panel from your machine. Make sure it is fully cooled before attempting to open up the vacuum breaker.

Locate vacuum breaker on the top of the steam boiler.
