CARE AND CLEANING (continued)
DECALCIFYING
• After regular use, hard water can cause
mineral build up in and on many of the
inner functioning components, reducing
the brewing fl ow, power of the machine,
and affecting the quality of coffee.
• We advise decalcifying the machine on
a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using
a mixture of white vinegar and water.
Follow the instructions provided, or use
the following as a guide:
Diluted solution (for softer water)
• 1 part white vinegar
• 2 parts cold tap water
Concentrated solution (for harder water)
• 1 part white vinegar
• 1 part cold tap water
