The provided water filter helps reduce the risk 

of scale build-up in and on many of the inner 

functioning components. Replacing the water 

filter every three months or 40L will reduce the 

need to descale the machine.
The limitation of 40L is based on water hardness 

level 4. If you are in level 2 area, you can increase 

this to 60L.

WARNING

After regular use, hard water can cause mineral 

build up in and on many of the inner functioning 

components, reducing the brewing flow, brewing 

temperature, power of the machine, and taste of 

the espresso.

CLEANING CYCLE

The CLEAN ME light will illuminate when a 

cleaning cycle is required. This is separate from 

descaling. 
1.  Insert the 1 CUP filter basket into the 

portafilter, followed by the supplied cleaning 

disc, followed by 1 cleaning tablet.

2.  Lock the portafilter into the group head. 
3.  Ensure the water tank is filled with cold water 

and the drip tray is empty.

4.  Press the POWER button to switch the 

machine off. 

5.  Press the 1 CUP and 2 CUP buttons 

simultaneously, then also press the POWER 

button. Hold all 3 buttons together for 

approximately 10 seconds.

6.  The cleaning cycle will commence and last 

for approximately 5 minutes. During this 

time, water will intermittently flush into the 

portafilter to dissolve the cleaning tablet 

and flush back into the group head. If your 

cleaning disc is without a hole in the middle, 

hardly any or no water should come through 

the portafilter.

7.  Remove the portafilter and ensure the tablet 

has completely dissolved. If the tablet has 

not dissolved; repeat from step 4 of the 

cleaning cycle until the tablet is dissolved.

8.  Once the tablet has completely dissolved, 

remove the cleaning disc, reinsert the 

portafilter and press the 2 CUP button to 

rinse the brew head. We recommend to 

place a container under the portafilter spout 

to avoid water splashing onto the machine. 

Once complete, make sure to wipe off any 

splashes with a soft dry cloth. 

DESCALING

NOTE

Ensure that the water filter is removed from the 

water tank before adding the descaling powder 

when descaling the machine.

NOTE

The machine will not automatically prompt a 

reminder when it is time to run a descaling 

cycle. While the cleaning cycle is important for 

keeping the brew head clean from coffee oils; 

the descaling cycle is essential to ensure that 

the machine is kept clean on the inside and free 

from mineral build-up.
