REGULAR CLEANING
AND MAINTENANCE
Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your latte maker
and affect its performance. It’s recommended that you remove the deposits using
vinegar or a coffee cleaning solution once a month or every 30–40 cycles.
1. Pour 1 cup or 8 fluid ounces of undiluted, white household vinegar into the
water reservoir.
NOTE: If using a cleaning solution please follow the package instructions.
2. Place an empty paper filter or permanent filter into the brew basket and secure
the brew basket into place.
3. Place the latte pitcher onto the base with the lid assembled and water filled to
the single serving level.
4. Lower the Power Lever to turn the appliance on.
5. Allow the Latte Maker to run the complete cycle and allow it to shut off
automatically.
6. Lift the Power Lever to allow clearance for removing the latte pitcher.
7. Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the inside of the latte pitcher with clean
water. The outside of the latte pitcher can be wiped with a damp sponge or
cloth.
8. Fill the water reservoir with 1 cup / 8 ounces of fresh, clean water.
9. Assemble and place the latte pitcher back onto the base with fresh water filled
to the single serving marking.
10. Discard the paper filter from the brew basket or thoroughly rinse the permanent
filter that was used during the brew cycle.
11. Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete.
12. Repeat steps 7–11 one more time before making your next latte.
