length of the stainless steel cover on the wand so 

it is the proper length for your mug. Press the 

steam button to start steaming water through the 

tank and wand to clean. Press the steam button 

again to stop steaming before your mug is full with 

water. Follow by disassembling all of the 

removable parts, and wash by hand or place in the 

dishwasher.

Decalcification

Mineral content in water varies from place to 

place. Depending on the mineral content of 

the water in your area, calcium deposits or 

scale may build up in your machine. Though 

scale is non-toxic, it can hinder performance.  

De-scaling the machine will help maintain 

the heating element and other parts that 

come in contact with water.

For optimal performance, de-scale your 

machine every 3 to 6 months. It is possible 

for calcium to build up faster, making it 

necessary to de-scale more often.

To begin, you will need the following:

•   12 ounces of distilled white vinegar

•   12-ounce ceramic mug (do not use 

paper cup)

•   Access to sink

Step 1: First Vinegar Rinse

•  Fill water reservoir with 12 ounces of 

undiluted white vinegar.

•  Fill milk tank with water to "MAX" and 

place in unit.

•  Place the ceramic mug on the drip tray.

•  Lift the brew head handle, but do NOT 

add a capsule.

•  Close the brew head and press the 

LATTE 

 button.

• 

 will illuminate blue while the vinegar 

is dispensing. 

•  LEDs will start flashing to signal to fill the 

reservoir.

•  Allow the machine to sit for 30 minutes.

•  Power on the machine, open and close 

the brew head, then press 

 to start 

dispensing. 

•  Discard the contents of the mug into  

the sink.

Step 2: Fresh Water Rinse

•  Repeat step 1 three times using fresh 

water in place of vinegar.

•  This will clean the machine’s plumbing 

and remove any residual vinegar taste. 

The machine is now ready for normal use.

Maintenance: 

Any other servicing should be 

performed by an authorized service 

representative.
