Keeping It Clean; Descaling - Gaggia ESPRESSO PURE Operating Instructions Manual

Keeping it clean:

1 IMPORTANT: the steam nozzle should be cleaned after
each use in order to avoid build up of milk deposits that
are very difficult to clean. Cleaning is made easy as can
be seen in the DESCRIPTION OF PARTS. The outer
part of nozzle can be removed by pulling downward.
The outside of the steam pipe can be cleaned with a damp
cloth.
The steam jet is cleaned by running a shot of steam
through it.
The hole in the steam nozzle must be kept open. A needle
may be used.
2 Clean filter holder and filter in warm water after use.
3 Wipe body of machine with a damp cloth as required.
4 Remove basin and grid (12, 23) and rinse with water. Do
not use abrasive substances.
5 Clean the seal (15) inside of the brewing head (14) and
keep it clean.
6 The shower disc (17) should be unscrewed and cleaned
periodically depending on frequency of use.
7 If the machine is not used for a long period of time,
discharge the water from the boiler by turning the steam
knob counterclockwise (7), and press the hot water/
coffee switch. Let a quantity of water equal to two cap-
puccino cups come out of the frother. Close the steam
knob (7) and press the hot water/coffee and the steam

switch. Turn off the machine. Never operate pump unless
there is water in tank.
8 NOTE: It is very normal for an espresso machine to emit
steam and drip occasionally as the water pressure changes
during use.
Be certain to empty drip tray (12) as required.

Descaling:

In areas where the water is very hard, the machine will not
operate correctly. We recommend repeating this operation
every 2/3 months.
Descale the machine using the special Gaggia descaler.
1 Remove the shower disc (17) and clean it.
2 Dissolve the solution in the water tank, already full of
water, and activate the pump for 20 seconds.
3 Run the solution through the brewing head and the steam
pipe for a few seconds. Wait 20 minutes and then repeat
the operation at 2/3 minute intervals until all of the
solution has been consumed. When you have finished,
rinse the tank well.
For best results after descaling, it is important that you perform
the following rinse cycle: Fill the water tank completely with
fresh water and use the entire amount of water it contains
to alternately dispense it from the brewing head and steam
pipe.
This procedure must be performed twice con-
secutively.
NOTE: Product failure due to scale accumulation is not
covered by warranty. No other servicing should be attempted
by the user.
Use "Gaggia cleaner" for best results.
