STEAMING OUT/ STORAGE/ TRANSPORT
Prior to long periods of not using the machine or for storage or transport at temperatures below
5 °C, it is essential to steam out the machine. This removes water from the system to prevent
internal frost damage.
1. Turn the machine ON.
2. Empty the water reservoir and place it back into its correct position.
3. Put an empty cup under the dispensing spout.
4. Press the either the Short or Normal Espresso button to start brewing.
5. The steaming out process has now started.
6. After the pump stops automatically, the steaming out process is completed.
7. Turn the machine OFF and unplug from its power supply.
CAUTION:
Beware of hot steam as there is danger of scalding!
DESCALING/ DECALCIFICATION
Mineral deposits building up in the coffee maker will have an adverse effect in the operation of the
appliance. Deposited residues in the machine can block the piping and cause damage.
Your appliance must be descaled when you begin to notice an increase in the time required to
brew espresso or when there is excessive steaming. The frequency of cleaning depends upon the
hardness of the water used. Drinking water varies according to region.
To prevent adverse effects of mineral deposits/ lime scale, be sure to decalcify the machine at the
very least after making 2,000 cups of coffee or after one or two (1 to 2) months.
Decalcification must be done correctly to prevent damage. It is essential to follow these
instructions.
