Care and cleaning

Care and cleaning continued

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.

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.
