REPLACING THE WATER FILTER

Set current month Soak lter
for 5 min
The provided water filter helps prevent scale
build-up in and on many of the inner functioning
components. Replacing the water filter after
three months or 40L will reduce the need to
descale the machine.
The limitation of 40L is based on water hardness
level 4. If you are in level 2 area, you can increase
this to 60L.
CLEANING CYCLE
The CLEAN ME light will illuminate when a
cleaning cycle is required. This is a back-
flushing cycle and is separate from descaling.
1. Insert the 1 CUP filter basket into the
portafilter, followed by the supplied cleaning
disc, followed by 1 cleaning tablet.
2. Lock the portafilter into the group head
and place a large container beneath the
portafilter spouts.
3. Ensure the water tank is filled with cold water
and the drip tray is empty.
4. Press the POWER button to switch the
machine off.
5. Press the 1 CUP and 2 CUP buttons
simultaneously, then also press the POWER
button. Hold all 3 buttons together for
approximately 10 seconds.
6. The cleaning cycle will commence and last
for approximately 5 minutes. During this
time, water will intermittently flush into the
portafilter to dissolve the cleaning tablet
and flush back into the group head. If your
cleaning disc is without a whole in the
middle, hardly any or no water should come
through the portafilter.

DESCALING
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral
build up in and on many of the inner functioning
components, reducing the brewing flow, brewing
temperature, power of the machine, and taste
of the espresso.
It is recommended to descale your unit every
90 days when water hardness is at level 4; and
when water hardness is at level 6, descale your
unit every 60 days.
Do not immerse power cord, power plug
or appliance in water or any other liquid.
The water tank should never be removed
or completely emptied during descaling.

not dissolved; repeat from step 4 of the
cleaning cycle until the tablet is dissolved.
remove the cleaning disc, reinsert the
portafilter and press the 2 CUP button to
rinse the brew head from cleaning solution.
We recommend to use a cup as well, to
avoid water splashing onto the machine.
Once complete, make sure to wipe off any
splashes with a soft dry cloth.
