Espresso descaling
Your coffee machine should be regularly
descaled using a good quality proprietary
descaler recommended for espresso
machines. We suggest the following intervals.
Normal water - every 6 months
Hard water - every 3 months
Very hard water - every 6 to 8 weeks
Remove the filter from its holder and
position the filter holder beneath the water
outlet.
Pour fresh cold water together with 2 or 3
teaspoonfuls of descaler into the water
container of your machine and close its lid.
Place the empty glass jug back onto the
drip tray and set the strength selector to the
‘light’ position.
Switch on your machine to descale,
repeating the process if necessary.
After descaling, flush your machine
through by operating 2 or 3 times using fresh
cold water. Clean all detachable parts and
please remember that you can help prevent
build up of deposits, especially in hard water
areas by leaving your machine empty
between use.
It is important you use a descaler suitable
for cappuccino/espresso machines carefully
following any special instructions given by its
manufacturer.
Do not use the descaling solution twice
and dispose of used descaler carefully as it
may damage your sink. Any damage caused
by non compliance with the descaling
instructions will not be covered by guarantee.
No liability will be undertaken for possible
damage in the event of the appliance being
misused or operated in any manner other
than described in these instructions.
Note: The permanent stainless steel filter
should not be used during descaling.
Filter descaling
Follow the instructions on the bottle or
sachet, and then operate the coffee maker
with just water 3 times before making coffee.
Note: The permanent mesh filter should
not be used during descaling.
Cleaning care
Unplug the coffee maker and allow to
cool.
Do not immerse the coffee maker water or
any other liquid.
Wipe all external surfaces with a damp
cloth and dry thoroughly.
Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
NO PARTS ARE SUITABLE FOR
CLEANING IN A DISHWASHER.
Filter
Remove the permanent filter, discard used
coffee and wash. Extended soaking helps to
remove coffee stains from the mesh.
Wash the glass jug, jug lid, filter holder,
stainless steel milk jug and milk frother blade
in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry all parts
thoroughly. Refit filter and filter holder and
milk frother blade.
Wipe all external surfaces including the
warming plate with a damp cloth and dry
thoroughly.
Care must be taken to ensure that non-
drip valve situated on the bottom of the filter
holder is not damaged during cleaning.
Espresso
Unplug the coffee maker, slowly remove
the pressure cap and allow to cool.
Do not immerse the coffee maker in liquid.
Rinse the water tank occasionally with
cold water. Do not use a cloth as any
residue or lint may be left behind to clog the
coffee maker.
Wash the milk frother blade, drip tray, drip
tray plate, glass jug, lid, filter, filter holder and
stainless steel milk jug in warm soapy water.
Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly. Refit filter,
filter holder and milk frother blade.
