CARE & CLEANINg
The water filter provided helps to prevent
scale build up which over time can affect the
performance of your machine, potentially
causing blockages and heating problems.
Replacing the water filter every two months
will reduce the mineral build up in the
machine.
If you live in a hard water area, we
recommend you change the water filter
more frequently.
Replacing the Water Filter
•
Remove the filter from the plastic bag,
and soak in a cup of water for 5 minutes.
•
Rinse the filter under cold running water
for 5 seconds.
•
Wash the stainless steel mesh in the
plastic filter compartment with water
and assemble.
•
Set the date dial 2 months ahead.
•
To install, push down to lock into place.
The water filter can be removed
from the water tank during operation if
not required.
poRtAFILtER CLEANINg
Periodically run water through the machine
with the portafilter in place, but without
any ground coffee, to rinse out any residual
coffee particles.

After regular use, residual grinds and oil
build up in the machine can affect coffee
extraction. We recommend performing a
cleaning cycle every 2-3 months using the
cleaning tablet provided.
To perform a cleaning cycle:
1.
Insert the silicon disk into the
portafilter.
2.
Place the cleaning tablet on the
silicon disk (position in the centre).
3.
Insert the portafilter into the group
head and rotate to right to lock in
position.
4.
Ensure Power On/Off button is on.
5.
Turn the dial to the ‘Espresso’
position for 20 seconds.
6.
Turn the dial back to the ‘Standby’
position.
7.
Repeat steps 5-6 three times or until
the cleaning tablet is dissolved.

CARE & CLEANINg
DECALCIFYINg
After regular use, hard water can cause
mineral build up in and on many of the
internal components, reducing water 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.
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
NotE
If an alternative decalcifying agent is
used, please follow the manufacturer’s
instructions specified.

mixture of white vinegar and water into
the water tank.
•
Plug the machine into the power outlet
and switch on.
•
Ensure Power On/Off button is on and
the Control Dial is on the ‘Standby’
position
•
Place a large container under both the
Group Head and the Steam Wand.
