After continued use, your Espresso Machine
may develop a build-up of mineral deposits
and therefore require occasional descaling.
We recommend descaling your Espresso
Machine every 4-6 months, although this
period will depend on the hardness of water
and frequency of use.
Descaling Solution
You have 3 options:
A. Espresso Machine Descaling Tablets
or
B. Liquid Descaler
or
C. White vinegar & warm water.
A & B descaling solutions are available for
purchase online or from major retailers.
Descaling Cycle
The Descaling Cycle takes approximately
10 minutes to complete.
Preparing for Descaling Cycle
• Fill Water Reservoir with Solution
A.
Fill Water Reservoir with 4 cups of
warm water. Add one Espresso Machine
Descaling Tablet. Allow tablet to fully
dissolve.
or
B. In an empty Water Reservoir add
half a cap full of Liquid Descaler. Fill
Water Reservoir with
4 cups of warm water. Allow solution
to mix thoroughly.
or
C. In an empty Water Reservoir add
1½ tablespoons of white vinegar.
Fill Water Reservoir with 4 cups of
warm water. Allow solution to
mix thoroughly.
- Insert the Water Reservoir into position.
• Place Containers
- Place a 4 cup container under Group
Head and another 4 cup container under
the Steam Wand.
• Check Power
Ensure that:
- The Power Plug is inserted into the
outlet & switched on.
- The DIAL is in the vertical position.
-
The machine is on and in the READY state.
• Access the Descaling Cycle
- Simultaneously press & hold the
ON/OFF & TWO SHOT BUTTONS for 4
seconds. The machine will beep and a
flashing light combination between the
ON/OFF & STEAM LIGHTS begins.
Important: If the Descaling Cycle is not
completed or stopped part way through
any of the Descaling Steps, then you will
need to start the Descaling Cycle again
from the beginning.
