DESCALING

If you live in a hard-water area, minerals and calcium found in the
water will accumulate and affect the operation of your machine. After
approximately every 300 cups of coffee, your Espresso Maker should
be cleaned with distilled vinegar in the following manner in order to
remove the mineral deposits.

1. Before cleaning your Espresso Maker, make sure the Steam Release

Knob is in the minimum (-) position (see Figure 8) and the
appliance is thoroughly cooled and has been disconnected
from the wall outlet.

2. Add 2 tablespoons of distilled vinegar to 1 liter of water. Add

vinegar solution to the Water Reservoir.

3. DO NOT attach the Filter Basket Holder to the Espresso Maker.

Place a container on the Drip Tray under the Coffee Spout(s).

4. Turn the Selector Dial to the Heater

position. The Heater Light

will illuminate. The / OK Brew Light will illuminate when the
Heater is ready.

5. Turn the Selector Dial to the Brew

/ OK position and allow half

of the solution in the Water Reservoir to flow out. Then STOP the
flow by turning the Selector Dial to “O” OFF.

6. Allow the vinegar solution to sit for about 15 minutes, then

continue to brew the solution until the Water Reservoir empties.

7. To eliminate the remains of the solution and the calcium, rinse the

Water Reservoir well, fill with clean water and replace.

8. Turn the Selector Dial to the Brew

/ OK position and allow all

of the remaining solution in the Water Reservoir to flow out.
