Wipe the brew head with a damp cloth. Caution: HOT! Danger of burning
or scalding!
• Rinse the water tank, the support grid and tray regularly with water.
• Empty the drip tray regularly.
• If the inner screen inside the brew head accumulates coffee oils, it can be
unscrewed for thorough cleaning.
Note: When removing the water tank, small water droplets might accumulate
on the receptacle for the valve. Wipe off the water droplets to avoid water
running down in the back of the machine.
• Cleaning the Steam Wand and Frothing Sleeve see chapter 9.
13. Decalcifying
When making espresso, always use cold clean water. Using spring water or
filtered water will slow down calcium build up. We recommend decalcifying the
machine after 200-300 uses or at least every six months.
• When using commercial decalcifying agents it is important to follow their
instructions. You can also dissolve 4 tablespoons of tartaric acid or citric
acid in 30 oz. water. Do not use vinegar as this will considerably shorten the
life of the seal inside the brew head
Decalcifying the brew head
a. Remove the portafilter.
b. For best results unscrew the screen inside the brew head. Wipe off any
coffee residue with a damp cloth.
c. Fill the water container with the decalcifying solution.
d. Place a large bowl beneath the brew head.
e. Push the On/Off button and turn the Selector Dial to the Cup symbol. Allow
1/3 to 1/2 of the solution to be pumped through the system and the brew head.
Note: There is no need to wait for the blue ready light to illuminate.
f. Turn the Selector Dial to the middle position to stop the process.
g. Let the machine sit for approx. 10 minutes.
Decalcifying the frother
a. Remove the black frothing sleeve.
b. Fill a pitcher with 6 to 8 oz. of cold water and immerse the steam wand into
the cold water.
c. Turn the Selector Dial to the steam symbol on the left and let steam pass
through for about 30 seconds. Repeat this process three or four times.
d. Now process the remaining decalcifying solution through the brew head.
Cleaning the system
a. Remove the water container and rinse thoroughly, then fill with fresh cold water.
b. Repeat above steps (d through g) with fresh cold water.
c. Replace screen in the brew head and tighten the screw securely.
14. Troubleshooting
Coffee runs down the side of the portafilter
A) Portafilter is not properly inserted.
Turn the handle of the portafilter further to the right.
B) Edge of sieve not free of ground coffee.
Switch OFF the appliance, remove the portafilter holder and clean the
edges of the sieve.
