DECALCIFYING
After regular use, hard water can cause
limestone build up in and on many of the
inner functioning components, reducing
the brewing flow, power of the machine,
and affecting the quality of coffee.
We advise decalcifying the machine on
a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using
a liquid decalcifying agent. Follow the
instructions provided, or use the following
as a guide:
Diluted solution (for softer water)
• • 1 part decalcifying agent
• • 2 parts cold tap water
Concentrated solution (for harder water)
• • 1 part decalcifying agent
• • 1 part cold tap water
DECALCIFYING THE MACHINE
1. Make sure the Selector Control is in the
‘OFF’ position and that the plug is
disconnected from the power outlet.
2. Remove the filter holder and pour in the
decalcifying solution into the water tank.
3. Plug the machine into the power outlet.
4. Set Power switch to the ‘ON’ position and
the Selector Control to the ‘OFF’ position
5. Place a large container under both the
water outlet and the steam wand.
6. As soon as the brewing temperature is
reached the orange ‘temperature’ light
will switch off. Set the Selector Control to
the ‘ESPRESSO’ position and let half the
decalcifying solution run through the
brewing head.
7. Turn the Selector Control to the ‘STEAM’
position and let the remaining solution
run through the steam wand. When the
solution has run through, set the Selector
Control back to the ‘OFF’ position.
8. After decalcifying, rinse the water tank
thoroughly and re-fill with fresh cold
water. To rinse the machine, run half the
water through the brewing head and half
through the steam wand.
9. The machine is ready for use.
CARE AND CLEANING cont’d
The stainless steel filters
should not come in contact
with any decalcifying agents.
Do not use powdered
decalcifying agents.
THE WATER TANK SHOULD NEVER BE REMOVED
OR COMPLETELY EMPTIED DURING DECALCIFYING.
Before cleaning, ensure the Selector Control
is in the ‘OFF’ position. Unplug the appliance
from the power outlet and allow the unit to cool.
CLEANING THE STEAM WAND
AND FROTH ENHANCER
1. The steam wand and froth enhancer should
always be cleaned after frothing milk.
2. Remove the froth enhancer and rinse
under warm tap water.
3. Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth.
4. Briefly set the Selector Control to the
‘STEAM’ position to clear any remaining
milk from the steam wand.
5. If the steam wand becomes blocked, wait
for the machine to cool before using a
needle or paperclip to unblock the opening.
CLEANING THE HOUSING/CUP
WARMING TRAY
1. The outer housing can be cleaned with a
soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive agents
or cloths which can scratch the surfaces).
CLEANING THE FILTERS, FILTER
HOLDER AND BREWING HEAD
1. Directly after use, remove used coffee
grounds and rinse the stainless filters and
filter holder under running water. Should the
fine holes in the filters become blocked,
then a normal dishwashing brush should be
used (do not use a brush with metal bristles).
2. The brewing head should be wiped
with a damp cloth to remove any old
espresso grounds.
3. It is advisable to periodically run water
through the unit with the filter in place
but without any coffee to clean out any
old coffee grounds.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
1. The drip tray should be removed, emptied
and cleaned at regular intervals, particularly
when the water level indicator is exposed
indicating the drip tray is full.
2. Remove the grid, steam baffle and water
level indicator from the drip tray; wash all
4 parts with water and non-abrasive
washing liquid before rinsing and drying.
CARE AND CLEANING
DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF YOUR BREVILLE
ESPRESSO /CAPPUCCINO MACHINE IN WATER OR
ANY OTHER LIQUID.
Do not place any of
the components in
the dishwasher.
