Descaling The Espresso/Cappuccino Machine - Nevir NVR-1156CM Instruction Manual

• To assist in keeping the filter and the brew head clean, at the end of each coffee making session
we recommend you run the machine, with the filter in place, without coffee- using the water
only.
• Should the holes in the filters become clogged with coffee granules use a fine bristled brush to
remove them.
Brew head rubber seal
This seal is located in the brewing head and creates a seal against the filter handle when making an
espresso.
Note: When the unit is not being used, we recommend that you do not leave the filter handle attached
to the machine, as this will reduce the life of the seal.
The exterior housing
Wipe over the unit with a damp cloth and. Do not use abrasives or metal scourers, as these will
scratch the exterior surface.
Steam nozzle and froth attachment
The steam nozzle and froth attachment needs to be cleaned each time you froth milk or heat any
other liquid. To clean the steam nozzle, wipe with a damp cloth and for the froth attachment, simply
rinse it under warm water.
On a monthly basis, we recommend thoroughly cleaning the steam nozzle.
To do this, soak the nozzle in water with the stainless steel jug resting on the drip tray.
Ensure that the water level in the jug is over the nozzle. Run steam through the nozzle for 30 seconds,
then leave to soak overnight.
In the morning, poke a pin up the steam nozzle, then turn the machine on and run steam through the
nozzle again for 30 seconds.
Important: Do not wash parts in the dishwasher.
After continued use, your espresso machine may develop a build up of mineral deposits.
Thus, your machine will require occasional "Descaling"
We recommend that you descale your machine every 2-3 months or after the machine has
made 200 cups of espresso, although this period will depend on the hardness of water and
frequency of use of the machine.
