NOTE: Do not operate the machine's frothing wand without the frothing tip
and o-ring in place.
11. Decalcifying
When making espresso, always use cold, clean water. Using spring water or
filtered water will slow down calcium build up. We recommend decalcifying the
machine after 100-200 uses or at least every 2-3 months.
• When using commercial decalcifying agents it is important to follow their
instructions. You can also use Capresso Cleaning Solution, available at
www.capresso.com. Dissolve 1 packet of Capresso Cleaning Solution with
30 oz. of water and add to the water tank.
NOTE: Do not use vinegar as this will considerably shorten the life of the seal
inside the brew head.
