Care and cleaning

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.

Cleaning the housing/cup warming tray

The outer housing can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive agents or cloths which can scratch the surfaces).

Cleaning the drip tray

The drip tray should be removed, emptied and cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the water level indicator is exposed indicating the drip tray is full.

Remove the grid and water level indicator from the drip tray and wash all three parts in warm water using a non-abrasive washing liquid. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Do not place any of the parts or accessories in the dishwasher.

Note

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 2-3 months) using a mixture of white vinegar and water. Use the following as a guide: Diluted solution (for softer water)

1 part white vinegar

2 parts cold tap water

Concentrated solution (for harder water)

1 part white vinegar

1 part cold tap water

Decalcifying the machine

Ensure the selector control is in the ‘STAND BY’ position and that the plug is disconnected from the power outlet.

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 re-fill with fresh cold water. To rinse the machine, run half the water through the Brew Head and half through the Steam Wand.

The machine is ready for use.

The stainless steel filters should not come in contact with any decalcifying agents.

Do not use powdered decalcifying agents.

Note

DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF YOUR BARVISTA ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO MACHINE IN WATER

OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

THE WATER TANK SHOULD NEVER BE REMOVED OR COMPLETELY EMPTIED DURING DECALCIFYING.
