Before cleaning, ensure the Selector Control is in the
‘STANDBy’ position and press the Power ‘ON/OFF’
switch to ‘OFF’. Switch off at the power outlet, then
unplug the power cord and allow the coffee machine
to cool completely before cleaning.

Cleaning the steam wand & froth

enhancer

• The steam wand and froth enhancer should always
be cleaned after steaming or frothing milk.
• Remove the froth enhancer and rinse under warm
tap water.
• Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth.
• Place a clean jug or cup under the steam wand
then turn the Selector Control briefly to the
‘STEAM’ position to clear any remaining milk
from the steam wand.
• If the fine opening of the steam wand becomes
blocked, allow the machine to cool and use a
needle or fine sharp implement to unblock the
opening.

Cleaning the filters, filter holder

and brew head

• Immediately after use, remove the filter holder and
discard the used ground coffee. Rinse the stainless
steel filters and filter holder under hot running
water. Should the fine holes in the filters become
blocked, then a clean, plastic dishwashing
brush should be used (do not use a brush with
metal bristles).
• The brew head area should be wiped with a damp
cloth to remove any remaining used ground coffee.
• It is advisable to periodically run water through
the coffee machine with an empty filter and filter
holder in place to remove any used ground coffee.

Cleaning the housing/cup warming tray

• The outer housing can be wiped with a soft, damp
cloth (do not use abrasive agents or cloths which
can scratch the surfaces), then polished and dried
with a soft, dry cloth.

Care and cleaning continued

Cleaning the drip tray

• The drip tray should be removed, emptied and
cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the
water level indicator shows that the drip tray is full.
• Remove the grid, steam baffle and water level
indicator from the drip tray, wash all 4 parts with
water and non-abrasive washing liquid before
rinsing and drying.
Do not place any parts of the Espresso/
Cappuccino machine in the dishwasher.
Note

decalcifying

After regular use, hard water can cause limestone
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 ‘STANDBy’
position and the Power ‘ON/OFF’ switch is pressed
to ‘OFF’. Switch off at the power outlet and unplug
the power cord.
• Remove the filter holder and pour the prepared
decalcifying solution into the water tank.
• Insert the power cord at the outlet and switch on.
• Press the Power ‘ON/OFF’ switch to the ‘ON’.
• Place a suitably large container under both the
brew head and the steam wand.
• When the brewing temperature is reached the
orange ‘HEATING’ light will go off.
• Turn the Selector Control to the ‘ESPRESSO’
position and allow half the decalcifying solution to
run through the brew head.
• Turn the Selector Control to the ‘STEAM’
position and allow the remaining solution run
through the steam wand. Then turn the Selector
Control to the ‘STANDBy’ position.
• After decalcifying, re-fill the water tank with fresh
cold water and rinse the machine by following the
instructions for decalcifying and running half the
water through the brew head and half through the
steam wand.
• The machine is now ready for use.
The stainless steel filters should not come
in contact with any decalcifying agents.
Do not use commercial powder or liquid
decalcifying agents.
Note

THE WATER TANK SHOULD NEVER BE REMOVED OR COMPLETELY EMPTIED DURING

DECALCIFYING.
