- Wash the filters, the filter holder, the water tank,
the drip-basin and grid regularly.
The drip-basin and grid can be removed as

- Regularly clean the water outlet opening,

Descaling
Descale your Espresso machine regularly.
With normal household use the following rule
applies:
• If you use soft water (hardness up to 18° DH /
22.5 °Clarke) - two or three times a year
• If you use hard water (hardness over 18° DH/
22.5 °Clarke) - four or five times a year.
Your water supply company can inform you
about the hardness of your water.
- Operate the appliance twice as indicated in
section "Making Espresso".
However, now use ordinary vinegar to half fill
the water tank and do not fill the filter with
ground coffee.
- To remove any scale that has set in the inside
of the steam pipe, let the appliance produce
vinegar steam for some time.
- To remove all remainders of vinegar and scale,
operate the appliance twice with fresh cold
water in the same manner.
Then clean all removable items.
If the appliance is cleaned and descaled regulary
as indicated in the instructions for use, it will
probably not be necessary to carry out the
following cleaning & descaling procedures.
However, if the performance of the espresso
machine should decline and non of the indicated
measurements (such as bleeding off air!) helps,
some extra cleaning/descaling may be required.
