b. Remove the four parts – knob, joint, connector, and frothing sleeve.

c. Rinse all parts under warm running water. You may also soak all parts in a cup of hot water after rinsing.

d. Place a large cup underneath the steam nozzle and turn the steam knob to the steam position (fig. 8). Let some steam run through for a few seconds, then turn the selector knob back to the "O"-position (fig. 5).

e. Re-assemble system (see chapter 13).

25.CLEANING THE MILK CONTAINER

• Remove the lid of the milk container. (The milk container is dishwasher safe-upper rack only.)

• Hold the lid under warm running water and allow some water to run through the straw. For a more thor- ough cleaning take the lid assembly apart (lid, seal, straw) and rinse with water and/or soak in hot water.

IMPORTANT: When replacing the three parts, first insert the seal into the receptacle on the underside of the lid, then push the straw inside the seal to ensure a tight fit (fig. 21).

26.DECALCIFYING (With Vinegar) For prolonged use of your Espresso- PRO it is necessary to decalcify the machine regularly. Calcium (limestone) found in drinking water will leave deposits in the machine that may cause clogging.

We highly recommend that you decalcify your machine at least twice a year or after about 400 uses (= 400 espressos or 200 espressos plus 200 frothing cycles).

Decalcifying Instructions:

MACHINE IS OFF

a. Before you start decalcifying remove the inner screen (fig. 20) and unscrew the steam nozzle (fig. 1d; U).

b. Insert the porta filter without a sieve and place a large container

underneath the porta filter.

c. Fill the water container with three cups (24 oz.) of water and 1 1/2 cups (12 oz.) of white household vinegar.

d. TURN MACHINE ON and pump about 4 oz. of water through the portafilter. Stop and let machine rest for approx. 2 minutes. Repeat

4 times.

e.Now decalcify the steam tube. Place a container underneath the steam tube. Press selector switch on top of the machine to the hot water position and turn the selector knob to the steam position (fig. 8). Let about 4 oz. of water run through the steam tube. Then stop and let machine rest for approx. 2 minutes. Repeat three or four times.

f.Clean water tank thoroughly, fill with fresh water and pump half of the water through the porta filter and half through the steam tube to eliminate any vinegar smell or taste.

g.Replace the inner screen and the steam nozzle.

**If using a commercial decalcifying agent please make sure it is suitable for drip coffee makers and follow the manufacturer's instructions.**

27.DECALCIFYING WITH DURGOL Capresso and many European companies recommend "Durgol" – a liquid decalcifying agent that removes calcium deposits up to 20 times faster than vinegar.

Prepare the machine as described in Chapter 26 – steps (a) and (b).

Pour one cup of water, then one cup of Durgol into the water tank (total of

16oz.).

a. Turn the machine on and pump about 4 oz. of water through the porta filter. Stop and let machine rest for approximately 2 minutes. Repeat one more time.
