The provided water filter helps reduce the risk
of scale build-up in and on many of the inner
functioning components. Replacing the water
filter every three months will reduce the need to
descale the machine. If you live in a hard water
area, it is recommended to change the water
filter more frequently.
WARNING
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral
build up in and on many of the inner functioning
components, reducing the brewing flow, brewing
temperature, power of the machine, and taste of
the espresso.
• Remove the filter from the plastic bag, and soak
in a cup of water for 5 minutes.
• Rinse the filter under cold running water for
5 seconds.
• Insert the filter into the filter holder.
• Set the date dial 3 months ahead.
• To install, push down the filter to lock into place.

6. The cleaning cycle will commence and last
for approximately 5 minutes. During this time,
water will intermittently flush into the portafilter
to dissolve the cleaning tablet and flush back
into the group head.
NOTE
No water should come through the portafilter.
7. Remove the portafilter and ensure the tablet
has completely dissolved. If the tablet has not
dissolved; repeat from step 4 of the cleaning
cycle until the tablet is dissolved.
8. Once the tablet has completely dissolved,
remove the cleaning disc, reinsert the portafilter
and press the 2 CUP button to rinse the brew
head. It is recommended to place a container
under the portafilter spout to avoid water
splashing onto the machine. Once complete,
make sure to wipe off any splashes with a soft
dry cloth.
