Make sure you clean the inside of the water tank first.
Make sure all controls are off, the plug is disconnected from the elec-
trical outlet, the machine is cool and all pressure in the machine has
been released (see section “CAUTION-PRESSURE”). Remove the
pressure cap and pour 10 ounces of fresh white household vinegar
into the water tank.
Screw the pressure cap back on top of the water tank. Make sure the
cap is on tight.
Insert the filter holder into the brew head and place the glass decanter
with lid on the drip tray.
Plug the machine into the electrical outlet and turn the power switch
on. An indicator light on the power switch will tell you the machine is
on.
Place a cup with cold water under the steam nozzle. When vinegar
begins to flow into the decanter, insert the nozzle into the water and
open the steam nozzle slowly by turning the steam control knob
downward. After a few secondsclose the steam nozzle by turning the
knob back up to center. This will clean any residue left in the nozzle
from frothing milk.
When all the vinegar has been pumped into the decanter and the flow
has stopped, turn the power switch to the center off position and allow
the machine to cool.
Repeat steps 1-7 using only tap water to rinse any remaining traces
of vinegar out of the machine. Repeat this process twice, allowing the
machine to cool and pressure to be released before repeating.
Decanter cleaning
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter.
Coffee discolors these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain
inside the decanter. To remove these stains, follow these simple steps:
1. Pour warm white vinegar in the decanter and let soak for 20 minutes.
2. Discard the vinegar, Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a
soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. They will cause
scratches which can lead to breakage.
