Descaling the appliance
• From time to time, you may need to clean off any mineral deposits (limescale)
left by water inside your espresso machine to keep it operating efficiently.
How often you have to do this depends on the water hardness in your area
and on your frequency of use. It is time to descale the machine when you
start noticing that it takes longer to brew an espresso, or when it is steaming
excessively.
• For descaling, use any commercially available citric acid based descaling
agent for coffee makers and proceed as follows:
• Pour the descaling solution into the water tank.
• As described in the section “Brewing espresso” (
but without any coffee or
filter in the porta filter), switch the appliance on and let it run, cup for cup,
through the filtration cycles. Allow 5 minutes between each cycle for the
descaling agent to take effect.
• To clean the appliance after descaling, fill the water tank twice with clean
water and let each filling run through its filtration cycles until the container is
nearly empty.
• Rinse the porta filter thoroughly with warm water.
• NOTE: Do not pour the descaling solution into an enamelled sink.
IMPORTANT!
Never wash any parts of the espresso maker in a dishwasher.
Storage
Store the clean and dry appliance
in a clean and dry place, out of children's reach.
We recommend you store the appliance, together with all accessories, in the
original
carton, which will protect it from dust.
