Descaling
Minerals and calcium found in hard-water areas can accumulate and affect the operation of your machine.
Depending on water conditions and frequency of use, your Espresso Maker should be cleaned with distilled
vinegar approximately every 6 months to remove scale.
1. Before cleaning your Espresso Maker, make sure the function knob is in the OFF position and the appliance
has been disconnected from the wall outlet.
2. Fill the carafe with distilled vinegar and pour into the water tank.
3. Securely fasten the water tank safety lid.
4. Attach empty coffee filter basket and holder.
5. Place carafe onto drip plate.
6. Plug the Espresso Maker into 120V AC electrical outlet.
7. Turn function knob to BREW. In a few minutes, the hot vinegar will start to flow through the coffee basket
into the carafe.
8. Place steam jet into a tall glass or mug. Move function knob to STEAM position during the flowing to clean
any residue left in the tube from the milk steaming process.
9. Turn function knob back to BREW, permitting the hot vinegar to continue to flow in the carafe.
10. When the flow has stopped, turn function knob to OFF position and allow to cool completely. Make sure
the BREW light is OFF. Then remove filter basket holder, carafe and rinse with hot water.
11. Repeat above steps using cold water to rinse any residual vinegar. Repeat twice.
12. Unplug the Espresso Maker from the wall outlet.
