Important:
It is EXTREMELY important to ALWAYS follow the depressurizing
instructions before opening the boiler cap. (Chapter 3).
10. CLEANING
• Always unplug the machine before cleaning.
• Never use scouring agents.
• Wait until machine has cooled down.
• Never immerse the machine in water or any other liquid. Never hold the
machine under running water. To clean, simply wipe off with a soft, damp cloth.
• Clean the filter basket, the filter holder, and the glass carafe in a hot water/
mild soap solution. For your convenience, the filter holder, filter basket, and
glass carafe can be put in the dishwasher's upper level, away from any heating
element. Make sure the holes in the filter basket are free of old coffee deposits.
• Remove the drip tray and clean with hot water/mild soap solution. Replace
the drip tray.
• Wipe the inner screen with a wet cloth (fig. 13). The screen is located above
the filter holder area.
CLEANING THE FROTHER NOZZLE
Wait until the machine has cooled down. The metal steam pipe may still be hot.
Pull the frother nozzle off and thoroughly rinse under warm water. Make sure
the nozzle is free of any milk deposits. Replace the frother nozzle. Make sure it
is firmly pushed up the steam pipe.
11. DECALCIFYING
We recommend decalcifying the machine every 3 months or more frequently if
you use hard water with this product. Remove the nozzle from the steam pipe.
Fill the glass carafe with 2 oz. of white vinegar and 6 oz. of cold water and pour
into the boiler. Close the boiler cap. Insert the filter holder with the basket into
the machine and lock the filter holder. Place the glass carafe without the lid under
the filter holder on the drip tray. Place an empty cup under the steam pipe.
Make sure the selector knob is in the coffee brewing position and let the
solution pass through the filter holder into the carafe. With the carafe about
¾-filled with solution (6 oz.), turn the selector knob to the steam position and
let the remaining solution pass through the steam pipe. Once steaming has
stopped, turn the selector knob to the off position. Remove and empty the
carafe and cup. Allow machine to cool for about five minutes and open and
remove the boiler cap. Repeat above process once or twice with only water to
remove any vinegar taste from the machine. (Please see Caution statements in
chapter 3, Depressurizing.)
Caution:
The steam pipe will be EXTREMELY hot. Always wait for the steam
pipe to completely cool down before handling.
