Descaling

IMPORTANT

Before unscrewing the water tank cap check that there is no residual pressure in the boiler. To do this, turn the steam knob slowly so that the residual pressure is allowed to disperse (fig. 7). Do not remove the water tank cap until the steam ceases to escape from the milk tube.

If you live in a hard-water area, minerals and calcium found in the water will accumulate and affect the operation of the machine.

Approximately every 1 - 2 months (depending on the hardness of the water), your DeLonghi espresso maker should be cleaned with a commercial cleaning agent for coffee maker or vinegar (we recommend Better Brew) as follows:

-Before cleaning your Espresso maker, turn the “Espresso/Cappuccino” switch to OFF and remove the plug from the wall socket.

-Fill the carafe with water and mix in the cleaning agent then pour into the water tank..

-Fit the tank cap and tighten it securely.

-Fit the filter and filter-holder (without any coffee).

-Place the carafe under the filter holder.

-Insert the plug into the wall socket.

-Turn the “Espresso/Cappuccino” switch to ON and set the flow regulator to LIGHT. After a few minutes, the water will begin to flow through the filter-holder into the carafe.

-Place the steam tube in a glass or mug. Open the steam knob for a few seconds while the water’s steam flows through the filter-holder. This will clear any milk residue from the inside of the tube.

-Close the steam knob (the water will continue to flow into the carafe).

-When no more water flows into the carafe, turn the “Espresso/Cappuccino” switch to OFF and allow the machine to cool. Remove the filter-holder, the filter and the carafe and rinse with hot water.

-Repeat from the beginning, using water. Repeat twice.

IMPORTANT:

Never remove the filter-holder when the machine is switched on.

In order to check whether there is pressure in the water tank:

•Switch the appliance off

•Remove the plug from the wall socket.

•Turn the steam knob slowly counter-clockwise

•If steam escapes from the milk tube, then the water tank is still under pressure.

•Place a receptacle under the milk tube.

•Open the steam knob so that the residual steam can escape.

•When all the steam has escaped from the tube, close the steam knob by turning it clockwise. At this point, the water tank cap and the filter-holder can be removed.
