15. MAKING LATTE
Latte is similar to Cappuccino. The difference is that, in general, the milk added has very little or no froth on top.
•Make sure that the cylinder of the frother is in the "up" position during steaming (see fig. 12).
•For detailed steaming instructions see chapter 14a.
16.DISPENSING HOT WATER FOR TEA, SOUP, ETC.
You may dispense hot water for making tea, instant soup, etc. through the frother.
a. Press the selector switch on top of the machine to the hot water
position 
(fig. 1; 1b).
b. Place a cup or a glass underneath the tip of the frother.
c. Turn the selector knob to the steam position (fig. 8).
d. The machine will immediately dis
-pense a fast stream of hot water. e. To stop the flow of water, turn the selector knob back to the "O"-
position (fig. 5).
17. CLEANING
CAUTION: Let the machine cool down before cleaning. For your safety we recommend unplugging the machine before cleaning. Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid. Never clean appliance under running water. Never use scouring agents. To clean:
a. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
b. Lift and pull out the drip tray (fig. 17). c. Clean the grid, drip tray, water tank,
and filter holder under running water and dry thoroughly. Do not put drip try in the dishwasher.
d. Rinse porta filter and sieves with warm, soapy water.
18. CLEANING SIEVES AND INNER SCREEN
•Clean the sieves with warm water,
making sure that the mesh is free of coffee oils. Hold sieve up to light to check if the small holes are clean. Soak in a mild detergent and scrub lightly if necessary.
•The inner screen should also be cleaned. Use a coin to unscrew inner screen (fig. 18). Wipe inside clean and replace screen. Make sure to screw in securely.
19.DECALCIFYING (With Vinegar) For prolonged use of your EspressoClassic 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 decal- cify 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. 18).
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 frother.
Place a container underneath the frother. Press the 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.
