DESCALING
To ensure the device’s proper operation and that you achieve the best possible
coffee’s taste you should clean the device’s inner piping circuit from mineral salts
that settle on it every 2-3 months.
1. Fill the water tank (7) up to its printed “MAX” indication with a mix of water
and descaler. The most common proportion of water – descaler is 4:1 but
address yourselves for greater accuracy to your descaler’s user manual.
Take care in assuring that your descaler is proper for home use and
espresso machines by asking its retailer.
2. Just like espresso machine’s pre-heating procedure attach the funnel handle
having already placed on its inside one of the stainless steel meshes (15 or
16)
(do not fill it with coffee at this step)
and plug the device to the power
grid.
3. Place one or two cups on the removable shelf right under the mouthpiece(s)
of the filter.
4. Press the ON/OFF switch to its “I” position. After a while the orange light will
be switched on.
5. Press the coffee/hot water switch to its “I” position. As soon as water begins
flowing press immediately the same switch to its “O” position.
6. As soon as the green light switches on press again the coffee/hot water
switch to its “I” position and fill with water a total of 2 cups. After that press
the coffee/hot water switch to its “O” position and wait for 5 seconds.
7. Press the steam switch to its “I” position and wait until the green light
switches on. When this is done turn counterclockwise and slowly the steam
control knob to produce steam for 2 minutes. In the end of it turn the steam
control knob to its “OFF” position kai press the steam switch to its “O”
position.
8. Switch off the machine for 15 minutes.
9. Repeat steps 5-9 at least 3 more times.
10. Switch on the machine and press the coffee/hot water switch to its “I”
position. Empty all the remainder of the water - descaler mix of the water
tank.
11. Fill the water tank with tap water up until its printed “MAX” indication. Repeat
steps 5-8 for at least 3 more times and after that empty all of the remaining
water from the tank.
12. Repeat step 12 for at least 3 more times so the internal piping cleans
completely.
