CARE AND CLEANING (continued)

DECALCIFYING

•After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build up in and on many of the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing fl ow, power of the machine, and affecting the quality of the espresso.

•We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using a mixture of white vinegar and water.

Follow the instructions provided, or use the following as a guide:

DECALCIFYING THE MACHINE

• Ensure the Selector Control is in the

‘Standby’ position, the power is off

and unplug the machine from the

power outlet.

CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING / CUP WARMING PLATE

•The outer housing and cup warming plate can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Then polish with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface.

•The drip tray should be removed, emptied and cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the drip tray full indicator is showing ‘Empty Me!’.

•Remove the stainless steel grid and ‘Empty Me!’ indicator from the drip tray, wash with warm soapy water, using a non-abrasive washing liquid, rinse and dry thoroughly. The ‘Empty Me!’ indicator can be removed from the drip tray by inserting fi ngers into two holes in the corners and pulling upwards to release the side latches.

CLEANING THE STORAGE TRAY

•The storage tray can be removed after the drip tray is removed then cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface).

NOTE:

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