CARE & CLEANING
dECALCIfyING
• After regular use, hard water can cause
mineral 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 (such
as vinegar). Follow the instructions
provided, or use the following as a guide:
a) Diluted solution (for softer water)
− 1 part decalcifying agent
− 2 parts cold tap water
b) Concentrated solution (for harder water)
− 1 part decalcifying agent
− 1 part cold tap water
dECALCIfyING THE MACHINE
• Ensure the Selector Control is in the
‘Standby’ position, the Power On/Off
button is set to the ‘Off’ position so
that the machine is switched off and
unplugged.
• Remove the Filter Holder and Frothing
Attachment. Pour the decalcifying agent
into the water tank.
• Plug the machine into the power outlet
and switch on.
• Set Power On/Off button to the ‘On’
position and the Selector Control to the
‘Standby’ position
• Place a large container under both the
Brew Head and the Steam Wand.
• When the brewing temperature is
reached the ‘Heating’ light will switch
off. Set the Selector Control to the
‘Espresso’ position and let half the
decalcifying solution run through the
Brew Head.
• Set the Selector Control to the ‘Steam’
position and allow the remaining
solution to run through the Steam
Wand. When the solution stops flowing,
set the Selector Control back to the
‘Standby’ position.
• After decalcifying, remove the Water
Tank and rinse thoroughly then re-fill
with fresh cold water. To rinse the
machine, run half the water through
the Brew Head and half through the
Steam Wand.
• The machine is ready for use.
NOTE
The stainless steel Filters should not
come in contact with any decalcifying
agents. Do not use powdered
decalcifying agents.
WARNING
Do not immerse cord, plug or
appliance in water or any other liquid.
The water tank should never
be removed or completely emptied
during decalcifying.
