The drip tray should be removed,
emptied and cleaned at regular intervals,

CARE AND CLEANING (continued)
DECALCIFYING
•
After regular use, hard water can cause
mineral build up in and on many of the
inner functioning components, reducing
the brewing fl ow, power of the machine,
and affecting the quality of the espresso.
•
We advise decalcifying the machine on
a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using
a mixture of white vinegar and water.
Follow the instructions provided, or use
the following as a guide:
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
DECALCIFYING THE MACHINE
•
Ensure the Selector Control is in the
‘Standby’ position, the power is off
and unplug the machine from the
power
outlet.
•
Remove the portafi lter and frothing
attachment. Pour the mixture of white
vinegar and water into the water tank.
•
Plug the machine into the power outlet
and switch on.
•
Press the POWER button and turn
the Selector Control to the ‘Standby’
position.
•
Place a large container under the group
head, steam wand and hot water wand.
•
When the brewing temperature has
been reached all the button surrounds
on the Control Panel will illuminate.
Press and hold the single or double
cup button to commence manual pour.
•
Release the button once half the mixture
of white vinegar and water has run
through the group head.
•
Set the Selector Control to the ‘STEAM’
position and allow steam to run through
the Steam Wand for approximately 2
minutes. Return the Selector Control
back to the ‘Standby’ position.
•
Set the Selector Control to the ‘HOT
WATER’ position and allow the
remaining liquid to run through the hot
water wand. When the liquid stops
fl owing, set the Selector Control back to
‘Standby’
position.
•
After decalcifying, remove the water tank
and rinse thoroughly then re-fi ll with
fresh cold water. To rinse the machine,
repeat previous steps.
WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR APPLIANCE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
THE WATER TANK SHOULD NEVER BE REMOVED OR COMPLETELY EMPTIED DURING
DECALCIFYING.
