3.Allow appliance to sit overnight with the vinegar solution in the water reservoir.

4.Discard vinegar through the top opening of the Espresso Maker by turning the machine upside down over the sink.

5.Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly with tap water by filling tank half full with water and then pouring the water back out into the sink, repeating this step twice.

TO DELIME INTERNAL PARTS:

1.Make sure you delime the inside of the water reservoir first by following the “Deliming” steps above.

2.Make sure all controls are “OFF,” the power cord is disconnected from the electrical outlet, the appliance is cool and all pressure in the appliance has been released. (See Section “CAUTION: PRESSURE” on Page 6). Fill carafe to the top of the metal band with vinegar and pour into reservoir.

3.Screw the cap back on top of the water reservoir. Make sure the cap is on tight.

4.Insert the brew basket (with filter) and place the glass carafe with lid on the drip tray.

5.Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.

6.Turn the control knob to the position. When vinegar begins to flow into the carafe, place

a cup with cold water under the frothing aid. Insert the frothing tube into the water and slowly

turn the control knob to the position. After ten seconds turn the control knob to the “OFF” position. This will clean any residue left in the frothing tube from frothing milk.

7.Turn the control knob to the position. When all the vinegar has been pumped into the carafe and the flow has stopped, turn the control knob to “OFF” and allow the appliance to cool.

8.Repeat Steps 1 – 7 using only tap water to rinse any remaining traces of vinegar out of the machine. Repeat this rinsing process, allowing the machine to cool and pressure to be released before each rinsing.

CARAFE CLEANING

Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the carafe. Coffee discolors these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the carafe. To remove these stains, follow these simple steps:

1.Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.

2.Let solution stand in carafe for about 20 minutes and then discard.

3.Wash and rinse the carafe thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. These may cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
