Care & Cleaning
REPLACING THE WATER FILTER
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.
CLEANING CYCLE
The machine will detect when 200 extractions
have been carried out since the last cleaning
cycle; this will be shown by the 1 CUP and
2 CUP buttons alternately flashing.
1. Insert the provided cleaning disc into
the filter basket in the portafilter.
2. Place a cleaning tablet on top of the
cleaning disc.
3. Lock the portafilter into the group head.
4. Empty the drip tray and replace onto the
machine. Place a 2L / 68 fl.oz container

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 the taste
of the espresso.
