recommend you put some water with two little spoons
of sodium bicarbonate into the boiler (9). When the
machine reaches pressure, put a container under the
group (11) and slowly raise the lever (1 in order to
drain the boiler completely. Repeat this procedure at
least twice. Then, switch off the machine, open
