FIX has posted a few times as to his recommendations as to cleaning...
And as a reasonable heavy user of the EM6910 I have to support his views... However every case is different due to the different way we use the equipment and the beans / number of shots we might run in a day..... Or how anal you are

A: At the end of the day I try to remember to toss in the SB rubber blind and run a manual Shot or two.... If I have had a heavy day of use, I may even actually run the back flush program... but no cafetto.
B: About every two - three weeks I then remove teh shower screen... Manually clean and then do a back flush with cafetto.
Previously I would do the chemical clean it about every eight to ten weeks due to teh cost... But now my program has changed for obvious reasons...
I may yet go back to 8 to 10 weeks or longer if I find that the cafetto is keeping the oils down... I am lazy but well aware that poor maintenance will mean big problems later... I am also aware that over servicing can also cause problems...
