DECALCIFYING

After regular use, hard water can cause limestone build up in and on many of the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, power of the machine, and affecting the quality of coffee.

We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using a liquid decalcifying agent. Follow the instructions provided, or use the following as a guide:

Diluted solution (for softer water)

•1 part decalcifying agent

•2 parts cold tap water

Concentrated solution (for harder water)

•1 part decalcifying agent

•1 part cold tap water

The stainless steel filters should not come in contact with any decalcifying agents.

Do not use powdered decalcifying agents.

DECALCIFYING THE MACHINE

1.Make sure the Selector Control is in the ‘OFF’ position and that the plug is disconnected from the power outlet.

2.Remove the filter holder and pour in the decalcifying solution into the water tank.

3.Plug the machine into the power outlet.

4.Set Power switch to the ‘ON’ position and the Selector Control to the ‘OFF’ position

5.Place a large container under both the water outlet and the steam wand.

6.As soon as the brewing temperature is reached the orange ‘temperature’ light will switch off. Set the Selector Control to the ‘ESPRESSO’ position and let half the decalcifying solution run through the brewing head.

7.Turn the Selector Control to the ‘STEAM’ position and let the remaining solution run through the steam wand. When the solution has run through, set the Selector Control back to the ‘OFF’ position.

8.After decalcifying, rinse the water tank thoroughly and re-fill with fresh cold water. To rinse the machine, run half the water through the brewing head and half through the steam wand.
