2.ADD A COFFEE DESCALER OR IF NOT AVAILABLE ADD 2 TABLESPOONS OF SODIUM CARBONATE.
3.CLOSE THE BOILER CAP (3) AND STEAM KNOB (4).
4.TURN THE MACHINE ON AND ALLOW IT TO REACH OPERATING TEMPERATURE (THE PRESSURE GAUGE (7) IN THE GREEN ZONE.) LEAVE THE MACHINE ON FOR 10 FULL MINUTES. WATER WILL EXIT FROM THE SAFETY VALVE, THIS IS NORMAL. PLACE A PAPER TOWEL OVER THE BASE OR LET THE WATER DRIP INTO THE BASIN.
5.AFTER 10 MINUTES PLACE A CONTAINER UNDER THE GROUP (11) AND SLOWLY RAISE THE LEVER (1).
6.DISCHARGE WATER UNTIL THE SIGHT GLASS SHOWS A l/4 TANK OF WATER REMAINING.

There are currently many coffee descalers available on the market, such as “Urnex” coffee descaler. These are usually made of all natural citric powders. Your favorite coffee store can advise you where to purchase these cleaners, or call us at 800/

Your machine may show moisture in the sight glass, this is normal. ALL la Pavoni machines are tested prior to packing and shipping to insure their reliability.
