Cleaning Your Espresso-Cappuccino Maker

Unplug the appliance power cord.

2.Wipe the steam nozzle with a warm wet cloth. The steam nozzle may still be hot, do not touch it with your hands.

5.Always empty the water tank of any water in between uses.

6.Wipe housing with a soft wet cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they will scratch the finish.

7.Do not store the filter holder in the brew head. This can adversely affect the seat between the brew head and the filter holder while brewing espresso.

Deliming

Mineral deposit build-up in the espresso maker will affect the operation of the machine. Your espresso maker must be delimed when you begin to notice an increase in the time to brew espresso, or when there is addi- tional steaming. Also, you will notice a build up of white deposits on the surface of the brew head.

The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of the water used. The following table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.

SUGGESTED CLEANING SCHEDULE

Type of Water	Cleaning Frequency
Soft water	every 80 brew cycles
Hard water	every 40 brew cycles

Your espresso maker may be delimed using one quart of white house- hold vinegar.

Clean the water tank first, following steps l-5:

1.Make sure the steam control knob is in the center off position and that the plug is disconnected from the electrical outlet.

2.If the machine is cool and the pressure has been released (see sec- tion “CAUTION-PRESSURE”), remove the pressure cap and pour 10 ounces of undiluted white household vinegar into the water tank.

3.Screw on the pressure cap and allow machine to sit overnight with the vinegar solution in the water tank.
