CLEANING EVERY 1-3 MONTHS
Deliming
- Once every 1 to 3 months depending on usage and the type of water, we
recommend that you delime your machine.
Delime Internal Parts
1. Make sure the Control Knob is in the “OFF” position.
CAUTION:
DO NOT remove Water Reservoir Cap or Portafilter at any time while
the appliance is under pressure or until the appliance has cooled down.
2. Fill Water Reservoir to the top with fresh, undiluted white household vinegar.
3. Brew just enough to get some vinegar to come out.
4. Steam just enough to get some vinegar to come out.
5. Unplug the machine.
6. Allow appliance to sit overnight with the vinegar solution in the Water Reservoir.
7. Discard vinegar through the top opening of the Espresso Maker by turning the
machine upside down over the sink.
8. Rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly with tap water by filling tank half full with
water and then pouring the water back out into the sink, repeating this step twice.
9. Brew and Steam with fresh water at least 4 times or until you do not smell any vinegar.
HOW TO FROTH:
Water Prep:
CAUTION:
DO NOT remove Water Reservoir Cap or Portafilter at any time while the
appliance is under pressure or until the appliance has cooled down.
1. Fill the Reservoir with water by removing the Water reservoir Cap.
• Fill the Glass Carafe to the steam line
and pour into reservoir for the water
that is essential to create steam for frothing.
2. Screw cap back onto water reservoir.
Time to Froth:
1. Pour in your desired amount of milk into a Stainless Steel Frothing pitcher (or
ceramic mug), but allow enough room for expansion of the foam (typically 1/3 of
the top). Do Not Use the Glass Carafe!
a. For 1 cup use approximately 4 oz of milk.
b. For 2 cups use 8 oz of milk.
*Frothing texture is highly dependent upon the milk type
used. 2% is recommended; whole milk creates finer
bubbles while skim milk creates larger bubbles.
2. Next, place your stainless steel frothing pitcher so that the
Frothing Wand is submerged into the milk. (Figure 2)
3. Turn the knob to “Steam” (Figure 3). This will take a few
seconds to heat up before bubbling. Move the pitcher in
circular motion until desired amount of froth is reached.
*Frothing is a learned skill however, the more you froth the
easier it is to learn how to make the perfect texture. The
experts recognize it visually and by sound. The bubbles of the
foam will be very tiny and as the milk changes consistency, so
does the sound. These are signals that help you determine
when your milk is ready.
4. Turn the knob back into the “Off” position and remove the
stainless steel frothing pitcher.
5. Pour Froth into your favorite drinking mug and enjoy.
Express Clean Up:
1. Rinse stainless steel frothing pitcher.
CAUTION:
DO NOT remove Water Reservoir Cap or Portafilter at any time while
the appliance is under pressure or until the appliance has cooled down.
2. Once the pressure is released and the unit has cooled, remove the Water Reservoir Cap.
3. Fill Water Glass Carafe halfway to the steam mark and pour into the Water Reservoir.
4. Screw cap back onto the Water Reservoir.
5. Fill stainless steel frothing pitcher half way with fresh water and place your stainless
steel frothing pitcher so that the Frothing Wand is submerged into the water.
6. Turn the knob to “Steam” and steam with water instead of milk. This will help rinse
the internal parts of the machine.
7. Once the steam stops, turn the steam knob to the “Off” position. Once the
Frothing Wand is cool. remove and rinse Frothing Wand. The Frothing Wand is the
black rubber piece at the tip of the frothing wand. Simply pull from the bottom to
remove.
8. Wipe down frothing wand with a damp cloth and rinse the Frothing Wand.
