LIME SCALE
When you heat tap water, calcium and other mineral deposits attach themselves to
the inside of your coffee maker, kettle, iron, washing machine etc.
Excessive lime scale build up will damage your Espresso Coffee Machine. The steam
tube is particularly vulnerable to lime scale blockage and should be cleaned regularly.
We recommend using pre-filtered or bottled water. If you cannot do this and use
water straight from the tap then it will be necessary to de-scale the product regularly.
There are plenty of good, inexpensive lime scale remedies available - including from
Swan website.
HOW TO DE-SCALE
To ensure your coffee maker can operate efficiently the internal piping must be
clean so as not to affect the flavour of the coffee. You should clean away the mineral
deposits left every 4 weeks - if you live in a hard water area every 2 weeks. Better still,
just use bottled water and none of this will be necessary!
• Fill the tank with water and descaler to the MAX level (the proportion of water
and descaler is 4:1 or refer to the instruction of descaler. Please use “household
descaler”, you can use the citric acid (obtainable from chemist’s or drug stores)
instead of the descaler (one hundred parts of water and three parts of citric
acid).
• Follow the steps as detailed in “PREHEATING” above.
• Press down the ON/OFF button to turn on the unit, the power indicator (red)
will be illuminated, you should press the pump control button to the lower
position, make sure the steam button is at the OUT position, when there
is water flowing out, close the pump by pressing the pump control button
again, and wait for a moment. The coffee maker begins to be heated.
• When the ready the green indicator illuminates, showing the heating is finished.
Pressing down the pump control button to the lower position. Then close
the pump and wait for 5 seconds.
• Press down the steam button to the lower position, and wait until the yellow
indicator is illuminated. Make steam for 2 minutes, then turn the steam knob to
the “O” position to stop making steam.
• Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the unit immediately, leave the descaler in
the unit for at least 15 minutes.
• Empty the tank and refit with clean water. Restart the unit and repeat the above
steps at least 3 times - with clean water.
