After continued use, your espresso
machine may develop a build-up of mineral
deposits, and therefore require occasional
‘descaling’.
We recommend descaling your machine
every 4-6 months, although this period
will depend on the hardness of water and
frequency of use.
Descaling Solution
You have 2 options:
A. Espresso Machine Descaling Tablets or
liquid.
or
B. White vinegar & warm water.
Descaling Program
The Descaling Program takes
approximately 10 minutes to complete.
Important:
If the Descaling Program is not
completed or stopped part way through
any of the Descaling Steps, then you will
need to start the Descaling Program again
from the beginning.
Preparing for Descaling
• Fill Water Reservoir with Solution
A. Fill Water Reservoir with 1 Litre of warm
water add one Descaling Tablet. Allow
tablet to fully dissolve.
or
B. In an empty Water Reservoir add half
a cap full of Liquid Descaler. Fill Water
Reservoir with 1 Litre of warm water.
Allow solution to mix thoroughly.
or
C. In an empty Water Reservoir add 1½
tablespoons of white vinegar. Fill Water
Reservoir with 1 Litre of warm water.
Allow solution to mix thoroughly.
- Place the Water Reservoir into position.
• Place Containers
Place a 1 Litre container under Group
Head and another 1 Litre container under
the Steam Wand.
• Power
Ensure that:
- Operating DIAL is in the vertical READY
position.
- The Power Plug is inserted into the outlet
and turned on.
- The machine is ON and in the Ready
state.
• Access the Descaling Program
- Press & hold the BUTTON for
4 seconds or until a flashing light
combination between the ON/OFF &
READY LIGHTS begins.
Important:
If Descaling Step 1 isn’t
started within 1 minute of entering the
Descaling Program, the machine will exit
the Descaling Program, and go back to the
Ready state.
Important:
The Descaling Program can be
exited at any point if the DIAL is returned
to the vertical Ready position.
