Using the Warming Plate
Place the coffee cup(s) onto the Warming Plate (13) on top of the machine to
keep them warm prior to making coffee.
Automatic power ‘off’
The coffee maker will turn itself off automatically 25 minutes after pressing the
Power Button (2).
De-scaling Your Espresso Maker
Once tap water is heated, calcium and other mineral deposits attach themselves
to the inside of your espresso maker. Excessive limescale build up will damage the
machine, the Steam Nozzle is particularly vulnerable to blockage and should be
cleaned regularly. We recommend using bottled water or filtered water. If you
cannot do this and use water straight from the tap, then it is necessary to de-scale
the coffee machine regularly. Do not use vinegar but a commercially available
decalcification agent, carefully follow the quantities recommended in the
instructions of the agent.
How to De-Scale:
It is recommended that the espresso maker is descaled every 4 weeks - if you live
in a hard water area every 2 weeks is recommended. Better still, use
bottled/Distilled water.
Fill the Water Tank (9) with water and de-scaler to the MAX level.
Follow the steps as detailed in ‘Preheating Your Espresso Maker before First Use
above.
