If the machine is not used for extended periods, remove the water in the boiler
by pressing the hot water button and opening the tap so that the equivalent of about
two cappuccino cups of water flow out of the nozzle. Do this only after the reser-
voir has been filled with cold water. Never use the pump without water.
DESCALING
The machine may be damaged in areas where hard water is used. The machine
should be cleaned every month (depending on use and water characteristics) with a
special GAGGIA descaler (follow the istructions reported herein). Remove the
dif-
fusor (21) and clean it. Pour the solution into the reservoir and turn on the pump for
15 seconds. Allow the solution to circulate in the coffee dispenser unit and in the
steam nozzle for a few seconds. Wait 20 minutes and then turn on the pump for 20
seconds. Repeat the operation every 2-3 minutes until the solution has been com-
pletely used.
Rinse the machine by circulating water through the dispenser unit and the steam
nozzle for about the amount of water contained in the reservoir. Replace the
diffu-
sor (21).
