Descaling
Lime-scale build-up will reduce the efficiency of your Espresso Machine. Regular cleaning
every 6-8 weeks is essential to prevent lime- scale build-up and prevent reducing the
Espresso Machine’s working life. More frequent cleaning will be required depending on the
quality of water where you live and how often the Espresso Maker is used. If the water is
filtering through more slowly than usual this is also a sign that the machine needs to be
de-scaled. We recommend you use a specific “household descaler” especially designed for
Espresso Machines.
1. Before cleaning your Espresso Maker, make sure the control dial is in the
OFF position ( ) and the appliance has been disconnected from the wall socket.
2. Fill the water tank with water and the de-scaling solution according to the
packet instructions.
3. Attach empty coffee filter basket and holder.
4. Place a large container under both the Brew Head and the Steam Wand.
5. Plug the Espresso Maker into an electrical socket. Make sure the ESPRESSO/STEAM
button is on the higher ESPRESSO position ( ).
6. Press the ON/OFF (I/O) button if the unit is not already ON. The red HEATING indicator
light will illuminate.
7. When the white READY indicator light turns on, turn the control dial to the ESPRESSO
position ( ) and let half the mixture of descaling mixture and water run through the
Brew Head, then turn the control dial to the OFF position ( ).
8. Press the ESPRESSO/STEAM button to the lowest STEAM position ( ). When the white
READY indicator light turns on, move the control dial to the STEAM position ( ) and
allow the remaining liquid to run through the Steam Wand to clean any residue left in the
tube from the milk steaming process, then turn the control dial to the OFF position ( ).
9. After decalcifying, remove the water tank and rinse thoroughly then re-fill with fresh
cold water.
10. Repeat above steps 2 or 3 times using cold water to rinse any residual
de-scaling solution.
11. Unplug the Espresso Maker from the wall outlet.
