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 fl ow, power of the machine, and
aff ecting the quality of coff ee.
We advise decalcifying the machine on
a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using
a mixture of white vinegar and water.
Follow the instructions provided, or use the
following as a guide:
SOLUTION FOR DECALCIFYING
Diluted Solution (for softer water)
• 1 part white vinegar
• 2 parts cold tap water
Concentrated Solution (for harder water)
• 1 part white vinegar
• 1 part cold tap water
WARNING:
Do not immerse power cord, power
plug or appliance in water or any
other liquid. The water tank should
never be removed or completely
emptied during decalcifying.
DECALCIFYING THE MACHINE
• Remove the portafi lter. Pour the mixture
of white vinegar and water into the water
tank.
• Plug the machine into the power outlet
and switch On.
• Press the POWER button to the On
position.
• Place a large container under the group
head and steam wand.
• When the brewing temperature has
been reached all the button surrounds
on the control panel will illuminate. Press
and hold the 1 CUP or 2 CUP button to
commence manual pour. Release the
button once half the mixture of white
vinegar and water has run through the
group head.
• Set the STEAM/HOT WATER dial to
the STEAM position and allow steam
to run through the Steam Wand for
approximately 2 minutes. Return the
steam dial back to the STANDBY position.
• After decalcifying, remove the water tank
and rinse thoroughly then refi ll with fresh
cold water. To rinse the machine, repeat
previous steps.
