This kit is for Ascaso Steel Professional models Uno Duo Trio made after 06/2009,
This won't suit the steel models that have fixed porta filter handles or standard steel models - Only for professional models.
You will know when the gaskets need changing:
If the steam taps leak when making coffee, causing a drip or coffee flows from the handle when making a coffee.
You will need to change your group gaskets annually and the steam ones less often.
It is better to change the gaskets before they get hard (ie annually ) otherwise they will be difficult to remove.
The kit includes: 16 parts
1 x Group gasket 8.3mm i.1224 Models made 2016 and before (too thick for 2017 models and after )
1 x Group supplementary gasket - if the handle slides to the right this will fix that.
2 x Group shower screen and screw
1 x Shower holder gasket o ring - (red one)
1 x Cleaning sachet to clean the group and handle
3 x Steam gaskets x 3 2015 and after models *
3 x Steam gaskets x 3 2015 and before models
1 x Steam tap washer - (white Viton)*
1 x Silicon tube grease for the steam tap
1 x Descale sachet **- descale the boiler and solenoid
Instructions
*This is the latest version of this kit updated in 06/16 and may have some gaskets that are not needed.
Fits models:
Ascaso steel made after 06/ 2009
Won't fit:
Ascaso steel PID - uses different gaskets and special e61 showers
Ascaso Steel with E61 shower screen.
Ascaso steel made after 2017 - uses a thinner group gasket
Ascaso steel was made before 06/09.
* Group gaskets become hard and brittle over time and become very difficult to remove. Replacing annually will enable smooth removal with an awl or screwdriver.
**You should descale every 3 months at least to avoid the solenoid valve and group from blocking. Easy to prevent not so easy to replace.
