CARE & CLEANING
7.The cleaning cycle will commence and last for approximately
5 minutes. During this time, water will intermittently pour from the group head. Once complete, 3 beeps will sound.
8.Remove the portafilter and ensure the tablet has completely dissolved. If the tablet has not dissolved, repeat until the tablet has dissolved.
DECALCIFYING
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. We advise decalcifying the machine every month and especially if not using the machine for an extended period eg. before going on vacation.
1.Remove the portafilter.
2.Pour a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and cold tap water into the water tank.
3.Place a large container beneath the group head and steam wand.
4.When the brewing temperature has been reached and all the button surrounds on the control panel have illuminated, press and hold the 1 CUP button to commence a manual pour. Release the button once half the mixture of white vinegar and water has run through the group head.
5.Set the STEAM/HOT WATER dial to the hot water position and allow hot water to run through the hot water outlet for approximately
30 seconds. Return the dial back to the STANDBY position.
6.Set the STEAM/HOT WATER dial to the steam position and allow steam to run through the steam wand for approximately 2 minutes. Return the dial back to the STANDBY position.
7.If any of the mixture remains in the water tank, press and hold the 1 CUP button to commence a manual pour. Release the button once the tank is empty and nothing runs through the group head.
8.In harder water environments, we recommend repeating this cycle.
9.After decalcifying, remove the water tank and rinse thoroughly then refill with fresh cold water only. To rinse the machine, repeat the steps above.
WARNING
Do not immerse power cord, power plug or appliance in water or any other liquid. The water tank should never be removed or completely emptied during decalcifying.
