DESCALING

Your Espresso Maker should be regularly descaled. Distilled white vinegar may be used to descale the appliance. We suggest the following intervals:

•Normal water: every 6 months

•Hard water: every 3 months

•Very hard water: every 6 to 8 weeks

1.Remove the Filter Basket from its Holder. Fit the empty Filter Holder into the Espresso Maker as described in the section:

BREWING ESPRESSO.

2.Fill the Glass Carafe with distilled white vinegar and pour into Water Tank.

3.Place the empty Glass Carafe back onto the Drip Tray.

4.Turn the Function Control Knob to the ESPRESSO position; the Power ON Light will illuminate and the vinegar will begin to flow through the machine. When all of the vinegar has flowed into the Carafe, turn the Function Control Knob to the OFF position. The Power ON Light will go off. Empty the Carafe and allow the Espresso Maker to cool. Repeat the process if necessary.

5.To clean/descale the Steam Tube, place a heat-resistant frothing pitcher under the Steam Nozzle. Carefully open the Function Control Knob toward the end of the cleaning process by turning the knob counterclockwise. Beware of hot escaping steam.

6.After descaling, flush your machine by operating 2 or 3 times using fresh, cold water and clean all detachable parts. You can help prevent build-up of deposits, especially in hard water areas, by leaving your machine empty between uses.
