damp cloth (do not use abrasive agents or
cloths which can scratch the surfaces).
WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PlUG

Cleaning The Drip Tray
The drip tray should be removed, emptied
and cleaned at regular intervals, particularly
when the drip tray full indicator is showing
'Empty Me!'
Remove the stainless steel grid and pull
the 'Empty Me!' full indicator upwards to
dislodge from the drip tray. Wash with warm
soapy water, using a non-abrasive washing

slots.
WARNING: ThE WATER TANK ShOUlD
NEVER BE REMOVED OR COMPlETElY EMPTIED
DURING DECAlCIFYING.
Decalcifying The Machine
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.
Follow the instructions provided or use the
following as a guide:
Do not clean any of the parts or accessories in
the dishwasher.
16
Diluted solution
1 part white vinegar
(for softer water)
2 parts cold tap water
Concentrated
1 part white vinegar
solution
1 part cold tap water
(for harder water)
Ensure the 'SELECTOR CONTROL' is in the
'STANDBY' position, the 'POWER' button
is in the 'Off' position and the machine
is switched off at the power outlet and
unplugged.
Remove the filter holder and frothing
attachment. Pour the mixture of white
vinegar and water into the water tank.
Plug the machine into the power outlet and
switch on.
Press the 'POWER' button to the 'On' position
and turn the 'SELECTOR CONTROL' to the
'STANDBY' position.
Place a large container under the group
head, and steam wand.
When the brewing temperature has been
reached the red 'HEATING' light will switch
off. Turn the 'SELECTOR CONTROL' to the
'ESPRESSO' position to commence pour.
Once half the mixture of white vinegar and
water has run through the group head turn
the 'SELECTOR CONTROL' to the 'STANDBY'
position.
Set the 'SELECTOR CONTROL' to the 'STEAM'
position and allow the remaining solution
to run through the steam wand. When the
solution has run through, set the 'SELECTOR
CONTROL' back to 'STANDBY' position.
After decalcifying, remove the water tank
and rinse thoroughly then re-fill with fresh
cold water. To rinse the machine, repeat
previous steps.
Do not use any other decalcifying agents,
other than vinegar.
