15. MAKING LATTE
Latte is similar to Cappuccino. The
difference is that, in general, the milk
added has very little or no froth on top.
• Make sure that the cylinder of the
frother is in the "up" position during
steaming (see fig. 12).
• For detailed steaming instructions
see chapter 14a.
16. DISPENSING HOT WATER FOR
TEA, SOUP, ETC.
You may dispense hot water for
making tea, instant soup, etc. through
the frother.
a. Press the selector switch on top of
the machine to the hot water
position (fig. 1; 1b).
b. Place a cup or a glass underneath
the tip of the frother.
c. Turn the selector knob to the
steam position (fig. 8).
d. The machine will immediately dis
- pense a fast stream of hot water.
e. To stop the flow of water, turn the
selector knob back to the "O"-
position (fig. 5).
17. CLEANING
CAUTION:
Let the machine cool
down before cleaning. For your safety
we recommend unplugging the
machine before cleaning. Never
immerse the appliance in water or any
other liquid. Never clean appliance
under running water. Never use
scouring agents. To clean:
a. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
b. Lift and pull out the drip tray (fig. 17).
c. Clean the grid, drip tray, water tank,
and filter holder under running
water and dry thoroughly. Do not
put drip try in the dishwasher.
d. Rinse porta filter and sieves with
warm, soapy water.
18. CLEANING SIEVES AND INNER
SCREEN
• Clean the sieves with warm water,
making sure that the mesh is free
of coffee oils. Hold sieve up to light
to check if the small holes are
clean. Soak in a mild detergent and
scrub lightly if necessary.
• The inner screen should also be
cleaned. Use a coin to unscrew
inner screen (fig. 18). Wipe inside
clean and replace screen. Make
sure to screw in securely.
19. DECALCIFYING (With Vinegar)
For prolonged use of your
EspressoClassic it is necessary to
decalcify the machine regularly.
Calcium (limestone) found in drinking
water will leave deposits in the
machine that may cause clogging.
We highly recommend that you decal-
cify your machine at least twice a
year or after about 400 uses (= 400
espressos or 200 espressos plus 200
frothing cycles).
Decalcifying Instructions:
MACHINE IS OFF
a. Before you start decalcifying
remove the inner screen (fig. 18).
b. Insert the porta filter without a
sieve and place a large container
underneath the porta filter.
c. Fill the water container with three
cups (24 oz.) of water and 1
1
/
2
cups (12 oz.) of white household
vinegar.
d. TURN MACHINE ON and pump
about 4 oz. of water through the
portafilter. Stop and let machine
rest for approx. 2 minutes. Repeat
4 times.
e. Now decalcify the frother.
Place a container underneath the
frother. Press the selector switch
on top of the machine to the hot
water position and turn the
selector knob to the steam position
(fig. 8). Let about 4 oz. of water run
through the steam tube. Then stop
and let machine rest for approx. 2
minutes. Repeat three or four
times.
