Cleaning the steam wand and
Froth Enhancer
•The steam wand and Froth Enhancer should always be cleaned after frothing milk.
•Remove the Froth Enhancer and rinse under warm tap water. Ensure the holes at either end of the Froth Enhancer are clear. Use the pin on the Cleaning Tool to unblock these holes.
•Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth and briefly set the selector control to the ‘Steam’ position to clear any remaining milk from the steam wand.
•Ensure the Selector Control is in the ‘STAND BY’ position. Press the ‘on/off’ button to OFF, switch off at the power outlet, unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool.
•If the steam wand becomes blocked, use the pin on the Cleaning Tool to clear the opening.
•If the Steam Wand remains blocked, the tip of the Steam Wand can be removed by using the spanner in the middle of the Cleaning tool. Soak the tip in hot water before using the pin on the Cleaning Tool to unblock. Replace the tip back onto the Steam Wand and secure with the Cleaning Tool.
Cleaning the filters, filter holder and brewing head
•The stainless filters and filter holder should be rinsed under running water directly after use to remove all coffee particles. Should the fine holes in the filters become blocked, the fine pin on the Cleaning Tool can be used to clear the holes
•The brewing head should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any residual coffee grounds.
•It is advisable to periodically run water through the machine with the filter holder in place but without any coffee to clean out any residual coffee grounds.

Decalcifying
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral 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
•1 part white vinegar
•2 parts cold tap water
Concentrated solution (for harder water)

•Remove the Filter Holder and Froth Enhancer. Pour the decalcifying solution into the water tank.
•Plug the machine into the power outlet and turn on.
•Press power ‘on/off’ button to the ‘ON’ position and turn the selector control to the ‘STAND BY’ position.
•Place a large container under both the Brew Head and the Steam Wand.
•As soon as the brewing temperature is reached the orange ‘heating’ light will switch off. Turn the selector control to the ‘Espresso’/cup position and allow half the decalcifying solution run through the Brew Head.
•Turn the selector control to the ‘Steam’ position and allow the remaining solution run through the Steam Wand. When the solution has stops flowing, turn the selector control back to the ‘STAND BY’ position.
•After decalcifying, remove the Water Tank and rinse thoroughly then
•The machine is ready for use.
The stainless steel filters should not come in contact with any decalcifying agents.
