Decalcifying
Hard water can cause limestone build up in and on the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, power of the appliance, and affecting the quality of coffee.
We advise decalcifying the appliance on a regular basis (once a month) using a liquid decalcifying agent. Follow the instructions provided or use the following as a guide:
Diluted solution (for softer water)
•1 part decalcifying agent
•2 parts cold tap water
Concentrated solution (for harder water)
•1 part decalcifying agent
•1 part cold tap water Decalcifying the appliance
•Ensure the Selector Control is in the ‘STANDBY’ position, the appliance is switched off at the power outlet and that the plug is disconnected.
•Ensure the appliance is cool and all steam pressure in the appliance has been released.
•Remove the stainless steel filter from the filter holder and place the filter holder back in position.
•Place an empty cup on the drip tray, under the filter holder.
•Remove the water tank cap and pour in the decalcifying solution.
•Screw the water tank cap back on (make sure the cap is on tight).
•Plug the appliance into the power outlet and turn the power switch on.
•Turn the Selector Control to the ‘BREW’ position 
and allow the decalcifying solution to run through the filter holder.
•When the solution has run through the appliance (make sure that all the solution has run out and there is no steam pressure in the appliance), turn the Selector Control to the ‘STANDBY’ position, switch off at the power outlet and remove the plug and allow the appliance to cool.
•After decalcifying, rinse the water tank thoroughly and refill with cold tap water.
•Repeat the above procedures several times by running clear the water through the filter holder and through the steam nozzle (half each). This should remove any possible residual after taste left by decalcifying agent.
•Replace the stainless steel filter and the appliance is ready to use.
NOTE: The stainless steel filters should not come in contact with any decalcifying agents. Do not use powdered decalcifying agents.
WARNING: To avoid possible burns from hot steam and water, never open the water tank cap while there is pressure in the water tank. Remove all pressure first.
