CLEANING THE WATER RESERVOIR
1. Dispose of 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.
2. Wash the water reservoir and its lid thoroughly with warm soapy water. Make sure
to rinse and dry them well.
NOTE: Do not wash the water reservoir or its lid in the dishwasher.
CLEANING THE UNIT
1. Wipe housing with a soft wet cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads,
as they will scratch the finish.
2. Do not store any of the porta-filters in the brew head. This can adversely affect the
seal between the brew head and the porta-filter while brewing espresso.
CAUTION: Do not immerse appliance in water or any other liquid.
DELIMING
Build-up of mineral deposits in the unit will affect the operation of the appliance. Your
appliance must be delimed 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.
