Making HOT Water for TEA or Other HOT Beverages

10. MAKING HOT WATER FOR TEA or OTHER HOT BEVERAGES

You can use the machine to make approx. 8 oz. of hot tea or to prepare instant soup. Fill the boiler with up to 8 oz. of water. Insert the filter holder into the machine without the filter basket and turn the filter holder to the right until it is locked in place. Close the boiler cap. Make sure the coffee/steam selector is turned to the cup symbol.

For tea: place one tea bag in the glass carafe.

Hot instant soup: pour the dry ingredients of the instant soup into the glass carafe. Place the glass carafe with its lid underneath the filter holder.

Turn the machine on and let all the water process through the filter holder into the carafe. When no more water comes out of the filter, turn the machine off, remove the carafe and serve.

11. CLEANING

•Always unplug the machine before cleaning.

•Never use scouring agents.

•Wait until machine has cooled down.

•Never immerse the machine in water or any other liquid. Never hold the machine under running water. To clean, simply wipe off with a soft, damp cloth.

•Clean the filter basket, the filter holder, and the glass carafe in a hot water/ mild soap solution. For your convenience, the filter holder, filter basket, and glass carafe can be put in the dishwasher's upper level, away from any heating element. Make sure the holes in the filter basket are free of old coffee deposits.

•Remove the tray cover and drip tray and clean with hot water/mild soap solution. Replace the tray cover and drip tray and make sure the drip tray is locked in place.

•Wipe the inner screen with a wet cloth (fig. 15). The screen is located above the filter holder area.

CLEANING THE FROTHER NOZZLE

Wait until the machine has cooled down. The metal frother pipe may still be hot. Pull the frother nozzle off and thoroughly rinse under warm water. Make sure the nozzle is free of any milk deposits. Replace the frother nozzle. Make sure it is firmly pushed up the frother tube.

12. DECALCIFYING

We recommend decalcifying the machine every 3 months or more frequently if you use hard water with this product. Remove the nozzle from the steam pipe. Fill the glass carafe with 2 oz. of white vinegar and 6 oz. of cold water and pour into the boiler. Close the boiler cap. Insert the filter holder with the basket into the machine and lock the filter holder. Place the glass carafe without the lid under the filter holder on the drip tray. Place an empty cup under the steam pipe. Make sure the coffee/ steam selector points to the cup symbol and the steam knob is closed. Turn the machine on and let the solution pass through the filter holder into the machine. With the carafe about ¾-filled with solution (6 oz.), slide the coffee/steam selector to the steam symbol. Slowly turn the steam knob to pass the solution through the steam pipe and into the empty cup. Once steaming has stopped, close the steam knob, slide the coffee/steam selector to the cup symbol and turn the machine off. Remove and empty the carafe and cup. Allow machine to cool for about five minutes and open and remove the boiler cap. Repeat above process once or twice with only
