Cleaning the brew filter
The brew filter through which the hot
water flows is located on the brew
head. Check from time to time to
ensure that the holes in the brew filter
have not become blocked by coffee
particles.
If the holes have become blocked:
0
Unscrew the brew filter using a coin
(figure 15).
0
Remove the brew filter and seal
(figure 16/1) and remove the brew
filter’s seal (figure 16/2).

Clean the brew filter with warm water
and a brush.

Empty the water tank.
0
Turn the selector dial (figure 1/G) to
the
position and let the appliance
dry.
Decalcifying
If the espresso is flowing through the
filter at a slower rate than usual, it is
time for the appliance to be
decalcified.
We recommend that you decalcify the
machine once every three months with
liquid decalcifier. If you live in an area
with hard water the decalcifying
procedure may have to be carried out
more often. When doing this follow
the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the decalcifier.
Important: Prior to decalcifying,
remove the brew filter (figure 1/U) and
the brew filter’s seal, as described in
the section “Cleaning the brew filter”
(figures 15, 16).
First pour the water into the water
tank, then add the decalcifier; never in
the reverse order. At least 0.5 litres of
water must be used. The decalcifier
should be added accordingly.
0
Remove the power plug from the
power point and allow the appliance to
cool.
0
Remove the steam nozzle with the
attachment (figure 1/H).
0
Place the filter holder in position
without the filter.
0
Place a sufficiently large container
under the filter holder.
0
Insert the power plug into the power
point and switch on the appliance.
0
Afterwards, turn the selector dial
(figure 1/G) to the
position and let
approx. ¼ of the decalcifier flow
through the system.
0
Then switch off the appliance and
allow the decalcifying solution to act
for approx. 10 minutes.
Repeat this procedure with an
additional ¼ of the decalcifying
solution.
0
Turn the selector dial (figure 1/G) to
the
position. Allow the remaining
decalcifying solution to flow over the
nozzle and act for another 10 minutes.
0
Then thoroughly clean the water tank.
0
Fill the water tank with fresh water
and allow half to flow over the brew
head and the other half to flow over
the nozzle.
Repeat the procedure if there is a lot of
limescale.
0
After decalcifying the appliance,
replace the brew filter and seal.
