Descaling

If you live in a hard-water area, minerals and calcium found in the water will accumulate and affect the operation of your machine. Approximately every six months (this can vary depending on water conditions and frequency of use), your espresso/cappuccino maker should be cleaned with distilled vinegar in the following manner in order to remove the mineral deposits, also referred to as scale.

1.Before cleaning your espresso/cappuccino maker, make sure the function knob is in the “OFF” position and the appliance has been disconnected from the wall outlet.

2.Fill the carafe with distilled vinegar and pour into the reservoir as you would with water.

3.Securely fasten the safety lid.

4.Attach empty coffee filter basket and holder.

5.Place carafe onto drip plate.

6.Plug the espresso/cappuccino maker into 120V AC electrical outlet.

7.Turn function knob to “BREW.” In a few minutes, the hot vine- gar will start to flow through the coffee basket into the carafe.
