Cleaning Your Espresso/ Cappuccino Maker - Oster BVSTECMP55 Instruction Manual

NOTE: If you choose to run an espresso brew cycle immediately after steaming milk,
it is normal for the unit to run briefly and a small amount of steam to appear from the
drip tray.
6. You are now ready to make cappuccino. REMEMBER: It is 1/3 espresso, 1/3
steamed milk and 1/3 frothed milk. Pour the espresso into a cup, which has
the capacity of at least 150 mL (5 ounces). Then add the steamed milk to the
espresso and spoon on the frothed milk.
7. IMPORTANT CLEANING TIP: When you are finished steaming milk, follow step
5 on Page 4 under section marked "CAUTION" to flush out any residual milk from
the frothing tube. It is important to properly clean your frothing tube and wash its
aid after each use to ensure it continues to work properly.
8. Unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool.

CLEANING YOUR ESPRESSO/ CAPPUCCINO MAKER

• Turn the control knob to the off " " position and the On/Off " / " Switch to the
off " " position and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
• The frothing tube may still be hot.
• Do not touch it with your hands until it has cooled. Remove and wash the
frothing tube cap and wipe frothing tube with a damp cloth. Clean the frothing
tube with a needle or toothpick.
• The water reservoir, filters, drip tray and drip grid can be washed with soapy
water or placed in the top rack of your dishwasher (avoid washing the filter
holder in your dishwasher). CAUTION: Do not immerse appliance in water.
• Discard the remaining water by removing the reservoir and turning it upside
down over the sink. It is recommended to empty the water reservoir between
uses and use fresh water for each brew. Do not immerse appliance in water.
• Wipe housing with a soft wet cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring
pads, as they will scratch the finish.
• Do not store the filter holder in the brew head. This can adversely affect the
seal between the brew head and the filter holder while brewing espresso.
IMPORTANT: The Filter Holder is NOT dishwasher safe.
DESCALING
Mineral deposits built-up in the espresso maker will affect the operation of the
appliance. Your espresso maker must be descaled when you begin to notice an
increase in the time required to brew espresso, or when there is excessive steaming.
Also, you may notice a build-up of white deposits on the surface of the brew head.
The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of the water used. The
following table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.
