13. Decalcifying
When making espresso, always use cold clean water. Using spring water or filtered water will slow down calcium build up. We recommend decalcifying the machine after
•When using commercial decalcifying agents it is important to follow their instructions. You can also dissolve 4 tablespoons of tartaric acid or citric acid in 30 oz. water. Do not use vinegar as this will considerably shorten the life of the seal inside the brew head.

g.Let the machine sit for approx. 10 minutes.
Decalcifying the frother
a.Remove the black frothing sleeve.
b.Fill a pitcher with 6 to 8 oz. of cold water and immerse the steam wand into the cold water.
c.Turn the Selector Dial to the steam symbol on the right and let steam pass through for about 30 seconds. Repeat this process three or four times.
d.Now process the remaining decalcifying solution through the brew head.
Cleaning the system
