Cleaning the Steam Tube and
Frothing Sleeve see chapter 9.
h) If the tip of the steam tube becomes
blocked, use the hexagon key on the
measuring spoon to remove it. Clean with
a needle and replace. In case you lose the
tip, there is a spare tip included with the
machine.
Decalcifying the Steam Tube
Follow the instructions for ‘Decalcifying’,
(chapter 14) however, set the control dial
to the left to the Steam/Hot Water position instead. Remove the
frothing sleeve and place a bowl beneath the steam tube.
14. Decalcifying
When making espresso, always use cold clean water. Using
spring water or filtered water will slow down calcium build up.
How often depends on the water hardness; however a good rule
would be to decalcify the machine after 200-400 uses.
a) Use normal commercial liquid decalcifying agents (follow the
instructions for use) or dissolve 4 tablespoons of tartaric acid
or citric acid in 30 oz. water. Do not use vinegar as this will
considerably shorten the life of the seal.
b) Remove the porta filter.
c) Unscrew the inner screen from the brew head with a coin.
Wipe off any coffee residue with a damp cloth.
d) Fill the container with the decalcifying solution.
e) Place a large bowl beneath the brew head.
f) Switch ON the appliance and set the function switch to
Coffee/Hot Water.
g) Turn the control dial to the right to the coffee-delivery position.
Allow 1/3 to 1/2 of the solution to be pumped through the system.
Note
: There is no need to wait for the green ready light to illuminate.
h) Turn OFF the appliance, with the control dial in the coffee-
delivery position.
i) Allow the solution to take effect for 10-15 minutes.
j) Turn ON the appliance and allow the rest of the solution to
pass through.
k)
Important:
After decalcifying, it is absolutely necessary to run
2 tanks full of fresh water through the appliance before putting
it back into use.
l) Replace inner screen and tighten the screw securely.
15. Troubleshooting
COFFEE RUNS DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE PORTA FILTER
A) Porta filter is not properly in contact position.
Turn the porta filter to the extreme right.
B) Edge of sieve not free of ground coffee.
Switch OFF the appliance, remove the porta filter holder and
clean the edges of the sieve.
C) Sealing ring inside brew head is dirty.
Remove the inner screen with a coin. Remove, clean and
replace the sealing ring. Caution hot.
D) Sealing ring no longer has elasticity.
Sealing ring must be replaced. See mail order form.
