CARE & CLEANING YOUR BREVILLE CAFé ROMA ESPRESSO MACHINE
NOTE:
Do not place any of the components
in the dishwasher.
DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART
!
OF YOUR BREVILLE ESPRESSO
MACHINE IN WATER OR ANY
OTHER LIQUID.

Decalcifying

After regular use, hard water can cause
mineral build up in and on many of the
inner functioning components, reducing the
brewing flow, 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
NOTE:
The stainless steel filters should
not come in contact with any
decalcifying agents.
Do not use powdered decalcifying
agents.

How to decalcify your Café Roma
Espresso Machine
1. Make sure the Selector Control is in the
'STAND BY' position and that the plug is
disconnected from the power outlet.
2. Remove the filter holder and pour in the
decalcifying solution into the water tank.
3. Plug the machine into the power outlet.
4. Set the Selector Control to the 'Stand
By' position and switch the Power
switch to the 'ON' position.
5. Place a large container under both the
brew head and the steam wand.
6. As soon as the brewing temperature is
reached the orange 'TEMPERATURE'
light will switch off. Set the Selector
Control to the 'ESPRESSO' position
and let half the decalcifying solution run
through the brewing head.
7. Turn the Selector Control to the
'STEAM' position and let the remaining
solution run through the steam wand.
When the solution has run through, set
the Selector Control back to the 'STAND
BY' position.
8. After decalcifying, rinse the water tank
thoroughly and re-fill with fresh cold
water. To rinse the machine, run half the
water through the brewing head and half
through the steam wand.
9. The machine is ready for use.
THE WATER TANK SHOULD NEVER
!
BE REMOVED OR COMPLETELY
EMPTIED DURING DECALCIFYING.
