Steam tube
11
•
Hold the black rubber sleeve on the
steam tube and turn clockwise which will
unscrew the complete lower part of the
steam tube.
•
Wash this assembly under running water.
•
Reassemble by gently screwing back on
anti-clockwise.
Water tank
10
•
Periodically remove, clean the inside
with a cloth or sponge, rinse and replace.
Check that the water control valve in the
base of the water tank 10 is operating
properly - water should flow smoothy
when the central plunger of the valve is
pushed upwards.
Periodic de-scaling
To ensure the lasting quality of your
espresso maker it is important to regularly
de-scale the system. It is suggested to run
this procedure every 2 months for hard
water areas and up to 6 months for soft
water areas:
1.
Mix 1 x tablet of Stellar descaling tablets
(SSDT) with 1Ltr of water, or Mix 125ml
of de-scaler (Please use a crystal based
product, that is suitable for aluminium
thermo blocks) and 1 litre of fresh water
into the empty water tank 10 . (or follow
instructions of your de-scaling product)
2.
Rotate the control knob 2 to setting 5
power & heat position. Allow to heat for
3 minutes.
Making further shots of Espresso
•
If you are making more Espresso directly
after frothing milk, any superheated
water in the system must be expelled as it
could spoil the brew.
•
Put an empty jug under the filter handle
13 and turn the control knob 2 to pump
switch position 7 .
•
When residue water is fully expelled you
are ready to make your Espresso.
Cleaning
•
The coffee maker should be regularly
cleaned.
•
Before cleaning the coffee maker ensure
that it is disconnected from the electrical
supply, and the whole machine is cool.
•
Never immerse the whole machine in
water.
Drip tray
15
•
The tray should be emptied whenever
necessary - the float indicator 16 rises
to denote that the tray is full. The tray
and drip tray cover 14 should regularly
be removed and washed in warm soapy
water.
Handles
13 & 23
and coffee container
22
•
Check that the fine holes in the coffee
container 22 are not clogged: a small
brush can be used to clear any remaining
grounds, and the handle can then be
rinsed under a cold tap. If the small hole
in the flow control spacer 21 is clogged
it may be cleaned with a pin. Then check
that the rim of the filter handle and
the underside of the top flange of the
filter are clean and will seat perfectly,
reassemble the coffee container 22 into
the filter handle 13 , and rinse.
