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
a)Diluted solution (for softer water)
−−1 part decalcifying agent
−−2 parts cold tap water
b)Concentrated solution (for harder water)
−−1 part decalcifying agent
−−1 part cold tap water
•Set the Selector Control to the ‘Steam’ position and allow the remaining solution to run through the Steam Wand. When the solution stops flowing, set the Selector Control back to the ‘Standby’ position.
•After decalcifying, remove the Water Tank and rinse thoroughly then
•The machine is ready for use.
NOTE
The stainless steel Filters should not come in contact with any decalcifying agents. Do not use powdered decalcifying agents.
DECALCIFYING THE MACHINE
•Ensure the Selector Control is in the ‘Standby’ position, the Power On/Off button is set to the ‘Off’ position so that the machine is switched off and unplugged.
•Remove the Filter Holder and Frothing Attachment. Pour the decalcifying agent into the water tank.
•Plug the machine into the power outlet and switch on.
•Set Power On/Off button to the ‘On’ position and the Selector Control to the ‘Standby’ position
•Place a large container under both the Brew Head and the Steam Wand.
•When the brewing temperature is reached the ‘Heating’ light will switch off. Set the Selector Control to the ‘Espresso’ position and let half the decalcifying solution run through the Brew Head.
WARNING
Do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in water or any other liquid. The water tank should never
be removed or completely emptied during decalcifying.
