Cleaning The Water Reservoir; Cleaning The Unit - Oster PRIMALATTE II TOUCH Instruction Manual

CLEANING THE WATER RESERVOIR

1. Dispose of the remaining water by removing the water 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.
CAUTION: Do not immerse main body of the appliance or power cord and plug in water or any
other liquid.

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.
DESCALING
Build-up of mineral deposits in the unit will affect the operation of the appliance. Your appliance
must be descaling 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.
