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 three 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.
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.
MACHINE CLEANING
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.
DESCALING
Even if you are correctly using the water filter
provided, we recommend you to descale when
you see scale build-up in the water tank.

1. Ensure the Control Dial is in the ‘Standby’
position, the machine is switched off.
2. Remove the filter holder.
3. Empty one sachet (25g) into 1 litre of warm
water, stir to dissolve.
Pour solution into the water tank.
4. Press the POWER button to switch the
machine on.
5. Place a large container under both the
Group Head and the Steam Wand.
6. Set the Control Dial to the ‘Espresso’
position and let half the descale solution
run through the Group Head.
7. Set the Control Dial to the ‘Steam’ position
and allow the remaining solution to run
through the Steam Wand. When the liquid
stops flowing, set the Control Dial back
to the ‘Standby’ position.
8. After descaling, remove the water tank
and rinse thoroughly then refill with fresh
cold water. To rinse the machine, repeat
steps 5-8.
