Decalcifying the machine
After regular use, hard water can
cause mineral build up in and
on many of the inner functioning
components, reducing the brewing
flow, power of the machine, and
affecting the quality of coffee.
We advise decalcifying the machine
on a regular basis (every 2-3 months)
using a mixture of white vinegar
and water.
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:
Before starting
the decalcifying process
(or de-scale feature),
ensure drip tray is empty
and inserted correctly in
position.
WARNING:
The water tank
should never be removed
or completely emptied
during decalcifying
process (or de-scale
feature).
1. Ensure the selector control is in the
‘STANDBY’ mode, the ‘POWER’
button is in the ‘Off’ position and
the machine is switched off at the
power outlet and unplugged.
2. Remove the portafilter and pour
the mixture of white vinegar and
water into the water tank.
3. Plug the machine into the power
outlet and switch ‘ON’.
4. Press the ‘POWER’ button to
the ‘ON ’position and turn
the selector control to the
‘STANDBY’ mode.
5. Place a large container under the
grouphead, and steam wand.
When the brewing temperature
has been reached the orange
‘HEATING’ light will switch off.
Turn the selector control to
the ‘ESPRESSO’
mode to
commence pour.
6. Once half the mixture of
white vinegar and water has
run through the group head
turn the selector control to the
‘STANDBY’ mode.
7. Set the selector control to the
‘STEAM’ mode and allow
the remaining solution to run
through the steam wand. When
the solution has run through,
set the selector control back to
‘STANDBY’ mode.
8. After decalcifying, remove the
water tank and rinse thoroughly
then refill with fresh cold water.
