Care and cleaning

Cleaning the steam wand and
Froth Enhancer
• The steam wand and Froth Enhancer should always
be cleaned after frothing milk.
• Remove the Froth Enhancer and rinse under warm
tap water. Ensure the holes at either end of the
Froth Enhancer are clear. Use the pin on the
Cleaning Tool to unblock these holes.
• Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth and
briefly set the selector control to the 'Steam'
position to clear any remaining milk from the
steam wand.
• Ensure the Selector Control is in the 'STAND BY'
position. Press the 'on/off' button to OFF, switch off
at the power outlet, unplug the power cord and
allow the machine to cool.
• If the steam wand becomes blocked, use the pin
on the Cleaning Tool to clear the opening.
• If the Steam Wand remains blocked, the tip of the
Steam Wand can be removed by using the spanner
in the middle of the Cleaning tool. Soak the tip in
hot water before using the pin on the Cleaning Tool
to unblock. Replace the tip back onto the Steam
Wand and secure with the Cleaning Tool.

Cleaning the filters, filter holder and
brewing head
• The stainless filters and filter holder should be
rinsed under running water directly after use to
remove all coffee particles. Should the fine holes in
the filters become blocked, the fine pin on the
Cleaning Tool can be used to clear the holes
• The brewing head should be wiped with a damp
cloth to remove any residual coffee grounds.
• It is advisable to periodically run water through the
machine with the filter holder in place but without
any coffee to clean out any residual coffee grounds.
Cleaning the housing/cup warming tray
• The outer housing can be cleaned with a soft,
damp cloth (do not use abrasive agents or cloths
which can scratch the surfaces).
Cleaning the drip tray
• The drip tray should be removed, emptied and
cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the
water level indicator is exposed indicating the drip
tray is full.
• Remove the grid and water level indicator from the
drip tray and wash all three parts in warm water
using a non-abrasive washing liquid. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Do not place any of the parts or accessories in
the dishwasher.
Note
Decalcifying
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build
up in and on many of the inner functioning
components, reducing the brewing flow, power of the
machine, and affecting the quality of coffee.
We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular
basis (every 2-3 months) using a mixture of white
vinegar and water. Use the following as a guide:
Diluted solution (for softer water)
• 1 part white vinegar
• 2 parts cold tap water
Concentrated solution (for harder water)
• 1 part white vinegar
• 1 part cold tap water
DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF YOUR BARVISTA ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO MACHINE IN WATER
OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
THE WATER TANK SHOULD NEVER BE REMOVED OR COMPLETELY EMPTIED DURING DECALCIFYING.
Decalcifying the machine
• Ensure the selector control is in the 'STAND BY'
position and that the plug is disconnected from the
power outlet.
• Remove the Filter Holder and Froth Enhancer. Pour
the decalcifying solution into the water tank.
• Plug the machine into the power outlet and turn on.
• Press power 'on/off' button to the 'ON' position and
turn the selector control to the 'STAND BY' position.
• Place a large container under both the Brew Head
and the Steam Wand.
• As soon as the brewing temperature is reached the
orange 'heating' light will switch off. Turn the
selector control to the 'Espresso'/cup position and
allow half the decalcifying solution run through the
Brew Head.
• Turn the selector control to the 'Steam' position and
allow the remaining solution run through the Steam
Wand. When the solution has stops flowing, turn
the selector control back to the 'STAND BY' position.
• After decalcifying, remove the Water Tank and rinse
thoroughly then re-fill with fresh cold water. To
rinse the machine, run half the water through the
Brew Head and half through the Steam Wand.
• The machine is ready for use.
The stainless steel filters should not come in
contact with any decalcifying agents.
Do not use powdered decalcifying agents.
